Paul wanted her to come back,face the music & go to jail as she was young when she went.Pah ! My thoughts were-she'd come back,be given some sort of remedial treatment,a council flat,money & the chance to wed yet another fighter.Sorry,but I'm with the courts. The problem is, when these bastards are allowed to live, people tend to start forgetting the atrocities they committed, their feelings tend to soften, and bingo, the bastards get away with it. Slot them when caught, blame the gunfight they put up, nobody will care and will be glad to see the back of them.

Its an interesting point though - should Begum be considered guilty because she was very likely influenced (when a minor) by some evil fuck posing as a pillar of her community? I imagine it would have been a tad tricky to leave when reality dawned.
Did she have any real idea of the methods of the regime before she arrived in 'the caliphate'? Mind you I seem to recall that footage of some horrific scenes were common currency for those who wanted to watch.

I've seen 'Platoon' and 'Full Metal Jacket', I think thats enough. And yet I can’t get into the Vietnam stuff - wonder if it’s a generation thing? After all the conflict in the Middle East has been going on in one firm or another since I was a kid (and obviously well before!) no surprise it’s more relevant to me than the Vietnam war, most of the good films came out when I was but a snot nosed wee shite!

Not seen it. Got enough demons, can’t be doing with anymore. I dunno why I find them as absorbing as I do though.

Try 'Apocalypse Now'. It has nothing to do with the Vietnam war.

I remember her saying she was not bothered by beheadings.She also married more than one fighter & has never said she was forced,she knew what she was getting into.15 year olds today are not like 15 year olds when I was 15 in 1973,they are far more savvy.I have no compassion for her at all.

Also I think she could have made a better job of expressing remorse. Even if it was crocodile tears.

That’s interesting. I find teenagers are far less savvy than when I was that age. So much mass media to mislead. It’s a cruel world and there are so many falling for misinformation.
