Because we are in a tan thread - you have to start using words like ‘us’ and ‘we’ apparently.

They could turn it into bombs, I’ve already dismissed that plan.
It’s very unsettling that lads can get into character as easy as that.
It’s not really. It’s a political decision that will be overturned by the courts if it has been found to have been made illegally or arbitrarily. These things happen all of the time. It’s why there is such a well developed law around judicial review.

So basically you’re in agreement that it’s a decision motivated by throwing a bone to the frothing right wing racist Tory mob, and not the rule of law.
Thanks for that.
I can certainly see how you might characterize it in that way, but equally it is perfectly appropriate to characterize it as a decision that has been made in the interest of public order and national security. As I say, if it hasn’t been so made it will be overturned by the courts.
I don’t really see the problem here.

When politicians deliberately make decisions based on throwing racist bones to a mob, knowing full well they’ll be overturned by the courts, there’s a problem.
If you want your politicians to do that, you’ll likely see it as not a problem.
The Windrush scandal happened because a Home Secretary, who is now Prime Minister, publicly encouraged a “hostile environment” where ordinary citizens of colour had their legal rights denied to them.
That wasn’t alright, and neither is this.
You keep playing the race card here but there is a clear public order and national security card here as well.
What was Sidney’s take on all the other citizens (of many races and genders) who had their citizenship revoked before this?
What’s got him interested in it now?
Is it the profile?
Is it that the Home Secretary is of Pakistani descent and is up for PM?
A lovely tfk interjection here.

Last night you complained about whataboutery.
And here, you go full steam ahead with exactly that.
Your projection always gives you away.

It had to be said.
How is that whataboutery? I asked did you have an issue on previous uses of this power. You say it is because of race and gender, when it has been used across the board before. So what is special about this? That she was a child when she left is certainly one.
The hand of Israel and the Zionists strikes again.
