Re: Shamima Begum
Don't know ----
I just try to imagine what she has to do to breathe and get through each day now. How many people do we know who gave birth to 3 children who all died of sickness and malnutrition? Nobody actually seems to feel human respect for this major loss she has suffered. The question of 'who supplied the sperm' and under what cicumstances seems to be most relevant to demonising her.

Re: Shamima Begum
Couldn't she do then just buy a passport from the Government? That's how it works for the rich, isn't it?

Re: Shamima Begum
$250000 would get her a 'golden visa'/citizenship in Latvia which should enable her to get back here easily enough. It's on.
