    This is a direct result of Sajid Javid's actions.

    I'm not religious, but. Britain is traditionally a Christian country. It's pretty fucking ironic that Shamima Begum was directly asking for forgiveness from Britain. What happened to Cameron's 'British values'?

    I don't even know what constitutes a political scandal any more. Maybe this sort of thing used to be swept under the carpet more and people didn't resign for such cases in the past, either, unless it was somehow made public, but it's scandalous even without the baby's death--Javid clearly didn't properly investigate what Bangladesh's position was about this, and that alone is a very serious error of judgement.
