Bring Shamima Begum Home - To Face Justice
Shamima Begum should be tried in her own country for her alleged crimes: why? Because she's British. That she was groomed, trafficked and then placed in a forced marriage has been erased, because it means dealing with an unavoidable fact: she was radicalised here, and she is our problem. Instead the government has announced that millions of Britons have citizenship which is conditional - because someone like myself would not have citizenship revoked if we committed a serious crime. This is a truly horrendous precedent.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
