The supreme court's decision on #ShamimaBegum confirms my lingering fear that unlike their White cousins', the citizenship of my mixed-heritage children will forever be precarious & conditional on account of maternal ties to a land they've never visited. This country is scary

I'm so sorry. Sending hugs. The repurcussions of this decision are appalling. I don't think I have ever felt so ashamed of this country as I do over how this young woman has been treated. It's awful.

Aw thank you. I feel ashamed too
I guess it's another parent-to-child conversation to be added to the list.. together with "careful smoking weed at uni with your white friends, cos only you will get arrested/expelled"3 odpowiedzi 0 podanych dalej 4 polubione -

I can't imagine what it must be like to have to handle all this as a parent. I'm so sorry you and others have to deal with it.

When the citizenship story of Shamima Begum first broke in 2019, it hit us that even though were british born, the fact I can’t show English ancestry means I can always be deported to Pakistan — a country I don’t have ties with and haven’t visited. I’m 3rd generation

I feel this. It adds to our existential angst doesn't it. I'm a naturalised citizen, and often get airport nerves... always having the thought at the back of my mind when returning from a trip that I might not be let back in due to some new policy or another...

That’s probably more a fear my dad/grandparents might have. I have a bit of a weird relationship with police. I get really really nervous and have to put on a confident attitude. I’m always afraid.

The fear of being separated from your children at the border. That’s difficult. When you’re born here you don’t ever think about it. The U.K. is all we know. (The Shamima Begum case really shocked me, until then I didn’t know it was possible; in my head I was British).
