Hypothetical situation time.

A radicalised terrorist sympathiser comes to Britain from another country to support a terrorist organisation, the organisation is defeated and we try to deport the sympathiser back to their home country, only for that country to tell us they've stripped her of her citizenship and she's no longer their problem, but ours'. How outraged would the public be about that situation? The answer is very outraged. So, if that's the case, why is it okay for us to force other countries to deal with our criminals? It is hypocrisy.

I have no sympathy for this woman, but we as a country cannot make up the rules as we please. Not when we'd hate for the shoe to be on the other foot. We risk setting a precedent that could ultimately see other countries refuse deportations from us, and all to appeal to a populist sense of bloodlust.

The right thing to do would be to not force our problems on other countries and have her stand trial in the UK for her crimes. Anything else makes us hypocrites.
