perhaps the HO suspects the case would collapse, so rather than take the moral high ground here it is easier to just dump her on Syria.
I'm sure there is an element of that. But there is also the optics of taking a tuff stand, at a time when tackling Isis looked like it could well have been a prolonged and difficult task.

The whole Shamina Begum case is shit, she was manipulated by a Canadian security agent which I think makes it more complex.
What I don't like is:
She is left stateless, this is illegal under international law.
Her husband is in a Dutch jail, an Irish woman has been found guilty of offenses for joining ISIS, but the UK Home Office refuses to take her in and punish her?
That I find suspicious, perhaps the HO suspects the case would collapse, so rather than take the moral high ground here it is easier to just dump her on Syria.
Not everyone born in a country is going to be an angel, this is some sort of denial to deal with it if you ask me. Just push it out of sight and pretend it's nothing to do with anything.
