UK people think Brexit is more scary than ISIS.
Someone tell @theresa_may @jeremycorbyn @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords and the whole Wrexiters gang
About the second most signed petition -obviously linked to #ShemimaBegum's case, a few thoughts.
I understand people can be scared/think there is a risk. Of course there is.
That is not the question here.
The question is: "Is it worth it?"
Was prosecuting Shemima Begum worth it?
Of course this would have required precautions/a closed supervision. For years.
But get first hand experience and explanation from a girl groomed by Isis -Worth it?
And on this specific case -Was a British baby's life worth it?

A quick THREAD on the contradictions of the home office and @sajidjavid over the stripping of #ShamimaBegum's British citizenship.
It's a MUST READ to see just how @theresa_may's old department's #hostileenvironment appears to discriminate against BAME people... 1/n
So currently there are international laws which state that when a citizen commits a crime in a foreign country, that country has the right to deport the person to their home country. This is accepted, and not a contentious issue. 2/15
In fact, the British gov't loves using these powers.
It regularly deports British residents of Caribbean descent. People who moved to Britain as toddlers and have British kids have been taken away from their families and sent 'back' to the Caribbean. 3/15
