    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you'll find lots among the 3000 UK born ISIS followers have immigrant parents. Why single her out? FYI, there are a few cases similar to Begum's currently going through Court but their identity is not plastered on the tabloids. These people pose a serious security problem to any country...

    My very first experience of riding an e bike - Rambletta

    The new lock works like on the Rambla, you turn the key clockwise, very slowly, stopping at about 11 o'clock before it produces the loud click and pull the battery out. I'll ask Andy to give you a call tomorrow.

    Leave the hearsay or the tabloids out of this for a minute. in what way is she an exception? Compared to the other 3000 or so British ISIS members, did she kill people like them? Did she torture any one? The main notable fact is she run away from home at the age of 15. That's not exceptional.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you forget that most of the world does not want ex-ISIS members, not even Syria. Begum is a British problem, other countries have enough of similar problems of their own citizens. You either have to shoot them or sort them out, the cost of which falls to the nationality of the ex-ISIS members.

    you have to take her off the camp first. It's run by ex ISIS militia. Whatever you think of her, her barrister will argue that her removal from the camp is our government's responsibility and I think the Court will go with that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Begum is currently locked inside a special refugee camp guarded by the militia. It's like a re-education/internment camp. No communication is freely allowed. If Begum can be moved into a another peaceful country, that would be more tolerable. Skype is not available where she is. Don't forget...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think her barrister argues that communication is impossible at the camp where she lives. If your lawyer cannot talk to you, then justice cannot function. It's a simple argument but effective nevertheless. The decision will also be on a narrow point, they are not talking about the issue of her...

    Javid's decision at the time was justified and still is, but I don't think the government is going to win in the Supreme Court. We'll know in a week. from the BBC: In February, a specialist tribunal - the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) - said the decision to remove Ms Begum's...

    no, she won that appeal. That's the problem. The Home Office now takes the case to the Supreme Court.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there are millions of people that you may not want to exist but they are here. Begum is notorious because the newspapers picked up her story. Thousands of other ISIS fighters coming back to Europe and nobody knows what to do with them. There are just not enough prison places and each will cost...

    if you apply the law, Begum does not have Bangladeshi nationality. She could apply for it because her parents are but she hasn't. Javid's decision was appealed because of it.

    we should not even talk about it when the case is being heard in Court. She has proper legal representation and of high caliber in Lord Pannick QC.

    I suppose that decision is made to give us a choice. We may just take a Christmas Day walk together along the seafront then hand over presents before going home.

    I think it's the result of strategic choices - the Pfizer vaccine trains the immune system to fight only the SARS-COV2 virus, the Oxford vaccine trains the immune system to fight a range of viruses, including SARS-COV2 so may take longer to reach 90% efficacy. In the meantime, you may have a...

    was it Sidney Powell who said that? Giuliani said yesterday that she is not part of the Trump's legal team, she is on her own. Thank you Mr President!

    yes, we missed his strategy. He's clutching at anything, even straw. The server story is just to keep the fire going. He's tapped middle ranking officials without success, now higher echelon officials at state's legislature asking them to derail the votes. He hopes that somehow the state...
