She made her bed

-

Shamima Begum, the schoolgirl who fled Bethnal Green to joinisisan­dmarriedon­eofthe group’s foreign-born terrorists, says she has “no regrets” about going to Syria and was “unfazed” by the atrocities committed by fanatics like her husband.

The fate of the two friends she travelled with is unknown but she clearly condones the beheading of Western hostages, arguing the journalist­s and aid workers targeted were spies and/or “enemies of Islam”.

She claims to be “living a normal life” and “all she wants” is to return to the UK to have the NHS deliver her baby.

I suspect all most of us want is for her to remain in Syria. As she had no regrets about going, she surely won’t regret staying.

Before the predictabl­e array of snowflakes make excuses for self-entitled Isis concubine Shamima Begum, demanding to be allowed to return to a nation and values of plurality she disowned without regrets, they should ask themselves how the thousands of Syrian, Iraqi and other refugees in Britain would feel about the return of exactly the sort they were forced to seek asylum from in fear of their lives – never mind the rest of us.

Begum made her bed, she should lie in it, in the rubble of the homes destroyed by Isis.
