BEGUM'S BABY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

Now that Shamima Begum's baby has died, the usual suspect are up in arms and demanding the Home Secretary's head. Shame on them.

Of course it's sad that the baby died but the responsibility rests solely on its parents, who decided to desert their Western home countries to join up with a fanatical terrorist organisation dedicated to destroying the Western and its culture. It was only when things went wrong that Begum and her husband discovered that they wanted to return 'home', back to the countries they'd forsaken and effectively betrayed. Without showing any remorse for her actions, Begum wanted to take advantage of the UK's health service, something which was missing in her chosen life. Well, life isn't like that; as the EU's negotiators have repeated over and again, you can't 'cherry pick'

When Begum chose to pursue a life with the terrorists of ISIL, she chose all that went with that life. That her baby has died, joining the 2 others which she says also died, is her fault, her husband's fault and the fault of the organisation which they chose to join, with its twisted logic and medieval, barbaric philosophy. Home Secretary Sajid Javid was absolutely right to deny this woman a return to the UK and the death of the child makes no difference. 

There are times when politicians actually do have to take a stand and, on this rare occasion, Javid took a stand and git it right. Those now criticising him are doing so simply for their own vested interests and political ends.
