It ruled that she can’t come back here to appeal that ruling. I fail to see how stripping her of citizenship can be either legal or morally right seeing as she’s not a citizen of any other country.
Indeed. What it’s effectively done though is make her appeal almost impossible given she’s in a tent with no access to lawyers.
I have no issue with her having the book thrown at her if she is found guilty under the British legal system. I do have a problem in them removing access to that system because her parents originally came from a different country. It’s creating different categories of citizen, ‘proper’ British and ‘British until it doesn’t suit us’.
Yup. It’s a very strange decision for a court to make and a worrying precedent.
