British Politics

It’s racism on the Brits’ part. They think they can bully a former colony when it suits them.

Again, why should Bangladesh take somebody who is a British citizen and not a Bangladeshi citizen?

It’s nothing to do with Bangladesh. She has never even been there.

It’s everything to do with Britain. She’s their problem and their responsibility - and their own counter-terrorism strategy specifically says so.

She made that decision for herself

Maybe they should do some sort of trade deal with Bangladesh after Brexit.

Bullying a former colony? I haven’t heard that interpretation before.
I’m just asking if you think banglagesh are tacist for not wanting her. If she has a right to claim citizenship…

It’s amazing how you’re focussing on her supposed eligibility for Bangladeshi citizenship and blaming Bangladesh for this case.

Bangladesh understandably do not want to take in somebody who has travelled to Islamic State territory, and who has never even been to Bangladesh.

While you simultaneously completely neglect the fact that she is a British citizen only, born and brought up there, and imply that Britain should be able to wash their hands of her and pass her on to a former colony which has nothing to do with her.

That’s the sort of thing I’d expect from somebody such as, oh, Ruth Dudley Edwards.

That seems sensible enough…there’s probably some bangladeshi snowflake saying this is racist though

I expect in Bangladesh they certainly do consider Britain’s pathetic attempt to pass their security problems on to them as racist, and they’d be dead right.

I’d expect imperial apologists would see no problem with it, however.

She’s British. A citizen of Britain. They have responsibility for her. If she gets deported from somewhere, anywhere, she is shipped to Britain. That is how this works. A country can’t decide to make someone stateless.

Gosh

I see the point, but legally they’re on safe enough ground if she can claim citizenship elsewhere…according to some international lawyer on the nolan show last night.

So now that the racism angle on this woman has been discredited, Sid moves to it being country on country racism.

You seem angry that you got this one wrong.

I’m surprised, you should be well used to the feeling by now.

What’s the derogatory term for a Bagladeshi person that you would use yourself Sid?

Deflect, deflect, deflect!

From?

Yesterday you didn’t understand what whataboutery was, today you don’t understand what deflection is.

But sure they’re only two of many, many simple concepts you don’t understand.

I suppose its easier if you call everything racism

No Sid I’m asking you because you’ve said that the U.K. are racist against Bangladesh. Given your extensive lexicon of racist terms you’ve used on here over the years, I thought you were just the man to ask for what I need to look out for in public discourse that might be problematic.

No, just the racist things.

I suppose it’s easier for the simple minded to just deny anything is racist, especially the racist things.

I note you aren’t engaging at all with the issue here.

You generally do that when you know you’re on the wrong side of issues.

Which is most of the time.
