How do you solve a problem like Shamima? As the song (almost) goes. She’s a problem, but she’s our problem. Here she was made, and only here can she be un-made. She needs brought home, given a long jail sentence and given long term intensive therapy.

Of course, should she ever come back to the UK, yooman-rites lawyers will try to prevent her getting her liberty curtailed at all. And if they fail and she does get locked up, the system would sooner forget about her than de-program her. And once she’s eventually roaming our streets, MI5 will decide she’s low enough priority not to bother keeping tabs on her. What happens after that is anyone’s guess.
