In sure a few on here will throw them a welcome ‘home’ party
I'm sure a few of the homecomers will have a little get together themselves and a laugh over a few beers, reminiscing about the time that little kid got hacked to bits, or when they shared that young girl from such a such village. Good times and all that.

I think a lot of my anger is this portrayal of the men and women who went out there to be these monsters being the main victims in all this. Spreading fear, death and hate then being all sad because the country they want to attack is being mean to them.
 
I think it will be interesting to see what happens all round tbh, there are around 150 women due to be coming back and a lot more men, I think I read about another 500 due to return from Isis.
I think there is a lot of posturing from the government on this. My guess is that she is likely to win any appeal and will be able to return to the UK. If the government want to prevent a similar situation from occurring again with the others you mention they will need to change the law, which I personally doubt they will attempt to do.
 
She is a British citizen. Why are you so desperate to deny her a trial. Do you think she’ll be found innocent?

I think that what people are concerned about is that their maybe insufficient evidence to convict her of more serious crimes under existing anti-terrorist legislation. Lack of eye witness evidence, lack of hard intel etc...

So she is guilty of belonginging to a terrorist organisation that much we could prove - so if she ever did return to this country, she could very well be tried and convicted of that although I'm not sure of what type of sentence she would be given. This would probably be followed up with many years of a probationary monitoring system being put in place (has to report to police station 3 times daily/nightly curfew, blah blah). All running alongside some form of rehabilitation / de-toxification process.

Personally I don't think she herself presents a threat to the British public, however she could be seen and used by shadier figures as a figurehead, a living, rallying symbol of western oppression against Islam. So in that sense she does still pose a security risk and that needs to be taken into consideration.

Don't know what the answer is here. I hope that we don't let her back. I don't care where she ends up beit Bangladesh, Amsterdam or rotting in Syria.
There's hundreds more just like her in Syria being held by Kurds/US/Syrians and they will want to come home as well. What do we do then?
