Nigel Farage says government should consider allowing [ISIS Bride] Shamima Begum back home

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said the UK government should consider allowing Shamima Begum, who left the country to join the Islamic State group in 2015, to return to the UK.
"I've never wanted to. I've instinctively never wanted to. But I'm now thoughtful, I'm thoughtful. I don't classify her as an ISIS, an all out ISIS killer," Farage told ITV News Political Correspondent Harry Horton.
"So she's sort of less... She is a lesser part of the equation," he added.
Farage made the comments after Donald Trump's terror chief Seb Gorka said on Thursday that ISIS members in Syria should be allowed home.
"It's very difficult for us to think we should take back people, Shamima Begum and others, and instinctively, instinctively, it's not something I want to do.
"Gorka argues that if we and other European countries don't take back these people and put them in prison here, they will get out of prison under the new Syrian regime, leading to a problem that in the end we may all have to fight," Farage said.

She gave up her citizenship to be a bride, she should have to live with that decision. If I give up my citizenship, for whatever reason I give it up, I should not be able to get it back back I realize my error.
At the very least, she should be naturalized like anybody else if the government is going to repatriate her, including all tests and requirements.

I said it on FR a couple of days ago. Farage is a squish and is the Brit version of Trey Gowdy. Find someone else to ally with.

Why is it when you believe you're simpatico with the ideas of various public figure they throw you a curve ball and you question your support?
I mean, all I wanted this guy to do is stop illegal invaders and work to get rid of the trouble makers and make Britain great again.
