The Begum case

 All the discussion on BBC News has been about whether she is or is not a danger to UK security, in the country or outside it. To my mind, this misses the point. She was rendered stateless in breach of international law and has never been tried in court or in absentia. She should have her citizenship restored. She then has the choice of returning to England (under her own steam; her travel should not be subsidised by the state) and face trial, or play the martyr in whichever jurisdiction is willing to shelter her.
