Subject: RE: BS: 'Stripping of Citizenship'?? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 15 Sep 19 - 08:12 PM Jim: You said that Britain was: "prepared to see refugees drown rather than let them pollute British soil " I asked for any quotes you could give to back up your assertion. You have still not provided any. The only reasonable assumption is that your claim is unsubstantiated. I will happily read any links that you can give which show that: Britain is prepared to see refugees drown rather than let them pollute British soil. In the absence of any such links, I would hope that you would withdraw your claim. |

If a refugee they would not need to attempt illegal entry. They have rights under the 1951 Refugee Convention and within the EU under the Dublin convention. You are told repeatedly what a refugee is defined as, yet continue to post nonsense. From the Guardian: Charities said the recent arrivals were due to intolerable conditions in the camps in France, including police brutality and intimidation, and a growing sense of “now or never” as Brexit and future immigration restrictions loom. Other also suggest smugglers are exploiting new routes to get migrants to the UK. Why not take your outrage to France and complain about their police brutality. It obviously does not suit your agenda of attacking Britain every chance you get. Now we are allowing our government to punish those young people who attempted to stand up to one of the world's worst despots, by exiling them Makes you proud to be British - eh what !!!

Subject: RE: BS: 'Stripping of Citizenship'?? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 09 Sep 19 - 10:48 AM But why are they in Syria in the first place? The Foreign Office advises against travelling to Syria, and states that consular services are not available in that country. This would make it difficult to repatriate (even) innocent travellers to the country, why should the UK exert itself to repatriate those who have travelled there to make war? If the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) who are currently hold them decide to try and deport them then we should accept them back. But if they are not trying to deport them then they are there by their own choice, and should take the consequences. |

Subject: RE: BS: 'Stripping of Citizenship'?? From: Mr Red Date: 29 Aug 19 - 02:44 AM What is meant by Citizenship here is nationality, not civic behavior. Nationality is nationality. Citizenship is not nationality. Are you arguing lexicography instead of etymology? Think. A citizen is part of the city, surely. Prison is a village, and has precious few of the city privileges. Being in prison is citizen light, if at all. Being dead does not allow you to wander or contribute unless you have acquired and bequeathed that which you screwed from real citizens. You can be an ex-pat in a xeno-city and be a model citizen - I submit, m'lord. While the words can be interchanged, like a "square peg in a.........." - they ain't equivalent, not even kissing cousins. Merriam Webster thinks citizenship is : 1 : the status of being a citizen. 2 : the quality of an individual's behavior as a citizen. 3 : domicile Hardly anything about passports ne c'est pas? |

Subject: RE: BS: 'Stripping of Citizenship'?? From: wendyg Date: 26 Aug 19 - 06:26 AM I'm very disturbed by the idea that birthright citizenship can be stripped - and in fact there is a 1967 Supreme Court decision (Afroyim v. Rusk: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/387/253.html) that hoplds that under the 14th Amendment citizenship cannot be taken from you (though you can elect to renounce it). Naturalized citizenship is a little trickier. I suspect most naturalization laws have a get-out clause in case of fraud that's discovered later or in case the naturalized person becomes a danger in some way. But if a country can simply strip the citizenship of people the government of the day disagrees with, there are huge dangers for dissenters of all stripes. The 1967 decision came shortly after a time in which left-wing Americans saw the State Department refuse them passports, some of them people we know and admire on the folk scene. So yes, I find the whole idea extremely disturbing. Of course, at one time countries handled this by simply shipping people to an empty continent somewhere. We're fresh out of those... wg |

Subject: RE: BS: 'Stripping of Citizenship'?? From: Mrrzy Date: 22 Aug 19 - 12:00 PM Hmmm. Military killing other military is war. Military killing other's civilians is war crime. Civilians killing others' military is insurgency. Civilians killing individual civilians for personal reasons is murder. Civilians killing other civilians for political reasons is terrorism. So 9-11 and the Pulse killings (for example] were terrorism. The attacks on US (or other) embassies were too. The attack on the Cole was not, nor the attack on the Marine barracks. |

Subject: RE: BS: 'Stripping of Citizenship'?? From: Mr Red Date: 21 Aug 19 - 03:35 PM Mrrzy My comment was "depriving of citizenship" Incarceration gets close to that in the first place, can inmates vote? If you can't be part of society you are deprived. If you are dead you are not part of society, especially if any money you don't have can't benefit society after you are gone. It was a a sideways comment on the death penalty in context. But I stand by "deprive". Staying "on thread" the UK would appear to have educated the man, and its citizens would appear to have re-educated him. So we are responsible for the mess, and the clean-up. But then there are tactics to all of this, and when the UK mans-up to its responsibility, the guy will be a little softer to handle. I predict. And there is the message it sends to others: jihadists, potential jihadists, and their parents. It's tactics, stupid. |
