I hate what Begum did, and even though she was young at the time I don't spend time agonising over her fate. But somebody somewhere has to have her on their territory, and why should we demand that it be another nation? She has created a mess, but it is our mess, nobody else's. Out of consideration for the people of the place where she currently is, I think we should bring her back to the UK. Not her for sake, but for theirs.
In a nutshell!

She's an idiot like the rest of the Tories who've ruined this country!
I note that there is a row of parked cars in the background all partly on the pavement - presumably she isn't against that.
I wonder if her car is among them?
Probably....

Re: UK Politics

I've just learned that Peter Bone,booted out of parliament for sex offences,was erroneously paid £5,600 severance pay for being a minister in the disasterous Truss government.Apparently he shouldn't have recieved the money because he was over 65.
He's now refusing to pay the money back on grounds of ageism.He's a multimillionaire apparently but it's the principle that counts....... .....yeah right,he'd know all there is to know about principals....

Here's a 15minute LBC video,though the first 5.30minutes puts a strong case forward for it:- https://youtu.be/qUAS4Q364ZI?si=FEHpC5GIPeOdt0kB

What with that and photo ID now needed to vote,there have been more Tory MPs done for sexual misconduct whilst in office than there have been people found guilty of voter fraud!

These people are the enemies of democracy!
Yes, I suspect that they might include this in their calculations.

But it could backfire as Universities respond by publicising the process for and advocating registration by students.

Only could be,students may well be preoccupied with the biggest change in their lives,leaving home,settling into new accommodation and reorganising their lives in total not to mention their apprehension of a new learning period in the lives and going out for a pint or three!

I'm saying Labour should ignore the middle ground,I'm saying the country needs a radical rethink,within the middle ground.
The electorate has never had more of a downer on politics and politicians,they have never mistrusted the political system more than now as long as I can remember,they need help,vision and as you say the people taking along with them,that's a huge task ATM.
Starmer will need to "step up to the plate" as the saying goes,he's not done that so far IMO,the Tories are toast but their replacement will be too if Starmer and Labour don't shape themselves by makeing some real change,he's not in power yet and he's spinning like top on promises and policies!
