I'm getting so frustrated with this whole Shamima Begum situation
. Like, I get it, she made some bad choices, but stripping her of her citizenship is just not right. It's like, one wrong turn in life doesn't mean you're defined by that forever, right? And what about all these other Brits stuck in those ISIS camps? 55-72 people, including kids
, living in "inhuman" conditions. That's just heartbreaking.
And have you seen the poll results? 2/3 of people think she shouldn't be allowed back? I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing... maybe it means we're starting to see some common sense? But at the same time, I feel like we need to take into account human rights here. It's all about finding a balance between keeping our citizens safe and respecting their rights.
I mean, if someone with migrant heritage can lose their citizenship because of their parents' nationality, that's just unfair
. And what does that say about our values as a country? I think we need to have some serious discussions about this and come up with a more inclusive approach to citizenship. It's not just about Shamima Begum; it's about all the others who might be affected by these kinds of policies.
