#46: Should Shamima Begum be allowed to return to the UK and have her British citizenship restored?
The ladies discuss whether a recent Supreme Court ruling is fair after judges unanimously rule that Shamima Begum, a young woman who left Britain as a teenager to join the Islamic State group (IS) in Syria, does not have the right to return to the UK to fight a Home Office decision that stripped her of British citizenship on the grounds of national security. Guest starring Fairyqueen Tatiana and Tariyé Peterside.
