People who throw around claims of racism and terrorist sympathiser need to back it up with evidence, apologise and withdraw or be banned. It’s as simple as that……. Also a distinction should be made between a ' point of view' or ' statement ' that is deemed to be racist or sympathetic to terrorism and judgement of the person making the statement. Much of the insults are simply based upon past history of the posters and an unnecessary sideshow to many of us. imo. Whilst I agree there is no need for personal insults, it's surely not beyond the realms of reason to take into account a person's posting history when making a judgement or forming an opinion of that person's general viewpoint?

"despite fears she would endanger British lives" "allowing Begum back would ‘create a national security risk" These sweeping open comments are what cause a lot of damage.They seem to be just made up sentances with buzz words to scare people. And it seems to work.

And it seems to work. Indeed. If a 24 year old who would either be sat in prison or under constant surveillance for the rest of her life would throw MI5 into turmoil then we've got a lot to worry about whether she comes back or whether she doesn't.

I'd prefer to stick to the issues under discussion Whilst that is most important, surely it's reasonable to be aware of a person's general viewpoint?

Something I never thought I'd find myself saying but I agree with him. You can't just make up rules based on who you like or who you don't like. To do so erodes us as a Nation.

I am also surprised I agree with every word he has said People are not advocating on here for Shamima Begum but that Government observe the Rule of Law and not make selective Politically Populist decisions
