This is an odd hot take by race activist @CharlieBCuff. Begum is an IS member of dual UK/Bangladeshi background who is to lose her British citizenship. She has “no regrets” joining IS & said the attacks in Manchester + elsewhere were “kind of retaliation.”
There is a certain corruption in social justice that celebrates terrorists against the West while wanting the most severe punishment for anti-PC thought crimes (or face crimes).
In 2016, a Somali refugee at @OhioState launched jihadist attack using a car & knife. He was shot & killed by responding campus officer. Citing BLM, a uni admin called for compassion for him. Black Liberation student group did a eulogy for the terrorist. thelantern.com/2016/12/abdul-…

Reporter @BlairStenvick wrote about brutal gay bashing in downtown Portland in '16. I emailed to ask how she independently verified story. She ignored me. I inquired again & she said: "I’m not interested in discussing this with you." @alex_zee, do you know?portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2019/…
Response from the news editor of @portlandmercury when I asked what steps their reporter took to independently verify an unreported claim of a brutal, vicious gay bashing in downtown Portland that had witnesses all around.
Transparency is paramount in media ethics. That @portlandmercury news editor would respond this way when asked for verification process is wrong. I could find no police, media, witness reports supporting story of brutal gay bashing in downtown PDX. @WmSteveHumphrey, do you know?

Watch the @DrPhil show tomorrow (Wednesday) to catch @benshapiro & myself + @sallykohn as we discuss hate crime hoaxes in America. DVR it if you can. Sparks fly. drphil.com/shows/controve…
On the @DrPhil show, a guest shared why she lied to police about details of her alleged hate attack by Trump supporters. She blamed police for dismissing the true parts of her story. I called her out. Watch: cc: @benshapiro @sallykohn
Why do people fabricate hate hoaxes? Why wouldn't they? I explain on @DrPhil show how many hate hoaxers don't even think they are doing something wrong, believing it "sparks" a conversation. Watch: cc: @benshapiro @sallykohn

Hoda Muthana, a Muslim woman from AL who joined IS & called for Muslims to Kill Americans ("Go on drive-bys & spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck & drive all over them") now says she wants to come home. Her family is advocating for her return. cnn.com/2019/02/20/ame…
Some in the US did heed the IS call to kill Americans. Who remembers the 2014 Queens hatchet attack? 2015 Garland shooting? 2015 San Bernardino shooting? 2016 Orlando gay club shooting? 2016 Ohio State car & knife attack? 2017 NYC truck attack? 2017 NYC attempted suicide bombing?
Ahmed Ali Muthana, a Yemeni man whose daughter joined IS in Syria & encouraged Muslims to kill Americans, is now suing the US to let his daughter back. His daughter is not a US citizen. He is being represented by CAIR Florida dir @HassanShibly. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…

Since everyone is just waking up to the practice of citizenship stripping after the case of #ShaminaBegum, let me take you on a little tour...
It starts in 2002 with the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act.

The bill lets the government remove British citizenship from dual nationals deemed to be 'seriously prejudicial to the vital interests' of the UK

It forbids making people stateless legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/41/…
Crucially, it revived a long-dormant legal concept of "royal prerogative" - that is, in antiquity, the sovereign could rule on matters of law without resorting to the judiciary.

It was never really gotten rid of, just superseded by more modern writs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_pre…

I often agree with @EuroBriefing as I think he & colleagues offer some of the best insights on European politics. But the below is just unthinkable. Were the UK to unilaterally revoke Art.50, I'd bet a case would be put before the ECJ to stop this from happening.
Say UK stays in the #EU under Corbyn with the clear plan of triggering #Article50 a little down the line. What would a good EU lawyer do? She (because, let's face it, it would be a she 😉) would advice the EU institutions to bring the #UK before the #ECJ.
Why? Because, as a member-state, the UK would have breached Article 4 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) which lays down something very boring called the "principle of sincere co-operation" between the EU member-states and the EU itself.

@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU Thoughtful & interesting with important insights but must disagree on a number of issues @BrigidLaffan
@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU 1. The U.K. post Brexit cannot avail of the European Arrest Warrant unless there is ECJ oversight- any request would be challenged in EU27 courts. Other areas that involve individual rights are similar @BrigidLaffan
@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU 2. It is really dangerous for the #UK’s future to wrap itself in a punishment narrative-the #EU has not bullied the UK is leaving on a voluntary basis-comfort blanket of EU punishment will prevent the state & society of taking ownership of the choices it has made @BrigidLaffan

So, Twitter. In light of the ongoing clusterfuck that is #brexit, let me tell you a little about my white, Australian experience of dealing with the UK visa authority, a complete shitshow of a bureaucracy that is in no way prepared to handle what's coming.
My husband and I first moved to the UK in January 2011. He'd been given a position at a good university there - however, because the Tories had slashed the number of visas any uni was allowed to sponsor, they were unable to sponsor him even though they'd hired him.
Fortunately for us, my maternal grandfather was born in the UK, which meant I was eligible for an ancestry visa. A much more expensive visa than a sponsored one would've been, but it came with greater protections and my husband could work as my spouse. So we opted to do that.
