      I understand the instinct to say "You made your bed. Lie in it." But people are forgetting the children. They're British. They couldn't help being taken out of Britain by mothers who must be imprisoned for terrorism & child endangerment. The kids did not do this. Bring them home.https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1055543204223815681 …

      The one-time women of so-called Islamic State who travelled to Syria from Britain to join the terror organisation have spoken to ITV News, issuing pleas to the UK Government to allow them and their children to return home https://bit.ly/2CDL1H2  pic.twitter.com/bdp1hsHMpl

      Do their children have a greater moral claim on Britain than the children who have been terrorised & displaced by these very people? How's this for an idea: For every one of them that are shuned a Yazidi or Christian refugee gets accepted?

      Yes. They are British. We do not blame children for the actions of their parents. If your parents had gone extremist loon and taken you off to join a death cult, wouldn't you want your country to put your rights as a citizen above your parents' allegiances and bring you home?

      As I get older I realise that what I want matters not a fig. And my implicit question still stands, why should these "cubs of the caliphate" be preferred over those who suffered that these may prosper. And "British" - in what sense?

      In the same sense as me. Born here.

      I do not believe that is a sufficient criterion in today's world

      Then I could have been taken out of my own countries values and subjected to a barbaric and evil one and so could you. Its pure luck that our parents didn't decide that for us. If a country doesn't stand for its citizens want worth does it have?

      Hmm, not really pure luck is it? The chances of anyone I know taking their kids to Syria is rather small.
