The case of Islamic State bride Shamima Begum carries on and she is back in the news as her baby has unfortunately died three weeks after she gave birth.
As our Government has stripped her of her nationality, she literally has nowhere to go and Bangladesh, who her family has a very tenuous link with, have said they don't want her there.
While any mother losing her child tugs at the heartstrings, it is hard to sympathise with her plight at having nowhere to call home but it does seem that we have passed our problem onto elsewhere.
I don't particularly want her back here, her interviews showed no remorse for what she has done, but she is British and was radicalised while in Britain so she is our problem and we shouldn't be passing her on to any country that will take her.
My solution would be to allow her back but arrest her as soon as she steps off the plane.
Some are now trying to pin the blame for the child's death on the Government decision but that's not right, making her stateless had no bearing on the health of her baby while living in a refugee camp and remember she was only there and asking to come back due to Islamic State collapsing.
To say she isn't enough of a fit and proper person to live in Britain but she can go live elsewhere is not right, she is our problem and we should be dealing with her.
As international law says you can't remove a persons citizenship unless they have another country to go to means that the law courts will only make us give her back her passport anyway so let's avoid a lengthy and costly trial which we can't win and allow her back and show her how the British justice system works.
