What a shocking decision

[LeningradCowboy]

Which bit of British law allows citizenship to be revoked then?

I want them punished by the full extent of the law and they are. I’m not defending them I’m defending the law. No one in here is defending peadophiles they are just saying you can’t just revoke the citizenship of someone and just deport them, otherwise why not just deport every criminal?

What the **** has roe vs wade and the American Supreme Court got to do with this? what a reach ffs

Section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981.

Section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981.

Just looked at the wording of that (again). The Home Sectretary can take away someone's British nationality in certain circumstances, but cannot make them stateless as a result - which was one reason for the furore in the Shamima Begum case.

In this case my understanding from the Tribunal reports is that it is about alleged inconsistency of treatment and whether the gang members would be able to re-claim Pakistani citizenship or not.

As an aside - the thread title talks about 'a shocking decision'. The Tribunal hasn't made a decision yet has it?
