IS bride Shamima Begum should not be allowed to return to the UK to fight a decision to strip her of British citizenship, the Supreme Court has ruled.

Now aged 21, Begum was one of three schoolgirls from Bethnal Green in east London who travelled to Syria. Her British citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019. She had already lost two children and the third died shortly after being born.

JIHADI bride Shamima Begum has lost her legal battle to return to the UK to appeal over the removal of her British citizenship. The Supreme Court today uninamously ruled in favour of the Government and said Begum cannot come back to the UK for a court case to reclaim her British passport for the safety of the public. Delivering the ruling, Lord Reed savaged a previous judgement by the Court of Appeal and said it had 'made its own assessment of the requirements of [national] security' without any 'relative evidence'. He said: "The right to a fair hearing does not trump all other considerations, such as the safety of the public.

He said: "The appropriate response to the problem in the present case is … [Read more...] about Shamima Begum CAN’T return to UK to reclaim British passport as Government wins Supreme Court bid against jihadi bride

LIKE a voice from the grave, sexual predator Max Clifford boasts of tricking women and acting as the ringmaster at celebrity orgies. In a new documentary on Channel 4 audio tapes of the publicist, who died over three years ago, are played of him talking about his unquenchable lust. Clifford was convicted in 2014 of eight indecent assaults on girls and women as young as 15. In the expose, which will be shown on Monday, he can be heard explaining how he posed as a fictional associate in order to lure women to his office to give him sexual favours. As a PR man with contacts across the entertainment industry, Clifford used a fake voice and called himself Terry Denton as he manipulated his star-struck victims.

On the tapes he gleefully recalls cheating on his first wife Elizabeth, who was dying … [Read more...] about Shamed publicist Max Clifford boasts of bedding wives, threesomes, grooming and orgies in uncovered recordings

Tens of thousands of young people are unaware they could have a small fortune tucked away in a savings account, after the government gifted them vouchers when they were born. Child trust funds (CTFs) were introduced in 2002 - and children born between September 1, 2002 and January 2, 2011, qualified for them. The scheme gave parents and guardians vouchers to invest in their child's future - money they could move at 16 and access at 18. However, 1.8million vouchers were not claimed - and so the tax-man invested it on their behalf. Now, as many of these children turn 18, it's emerged that 200,000 accounts - amounting to £400million - remain unclaimed. On average, these contain £2,000 each, according to figures seen by the Daily Mail . What is a child trust fund? Under the scheme, parents and guardians with kids born between 2002 and 2011 received a voucher to deposit into a CTF account on behalf of their child.
