IS bride Shamima Begum is appealing for legal aid to fight for her British citizenship - but Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt says he would be"very uncomfortable" if she got the support.
Dal Babu, a former chief superintendent in the Metropolitan Police and friend of Begum's relatives, confirmed the family has put in a request on the 19-year-old's behalf for taxpayer money to fight her legal costs. Tasnime Akunjee, who has represented the Begum family since 2015, travelled to Syria in March to attempt to reach Shamima Begum but was turned away by officials at the refugee camp, meaning the teenager has been unable to directly instruct a lawyer.
It is understood Shamima Begum's case is now being handled by human rights lawyer Gareth Peirce, who has worked on a number of high-profile cases, including representing the family of Jean Charles de Menezes who was shot dead by police in London after being misidentified. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said if Begum is given access to legal aid, it would make him"very uncomfortable".
shees a creepy looking individual
Please remove all media concerning this terrorist and stop giving them press!
Wa peka! Y did she join the terrorist organization on the first place?
She would happily have beheaded us, but she was on the looking side and wants to come back. Even more worrying she probably has an agenda to redicalse. Do gooders just leave her there.
If this piece of shite has lost her British citizenship. Then how can she apply for British legal aid..
Gareth Peirce
But why?.... Didn't she join the idiots Beacuse she thought they were righteous...
She gave up her rights when she went to Syria Her lawyer should stay there as well
There is a simple solution to this isis scum debacle. Treat her as an enemy combatant, drum roll court case and finish with fire squad. Then dispose of her remnants in the sea... Simple. She didn't show mercy to her victims.
What an insult on British democratic fair system. Talk about attempted abuse of fair privilege..
She’s a disgrace
Lawyers laughing all the way to the bank again.
And the start of yet another embarrassing government U Turn
SHE IS A TRAITOR LETS ALL FORGET ABOUT HER .A NON ENTITY
Very difficult to understand what's going on, you took her citizenship away and gave her a legal aid to get it back. Why take it away in the first place if you knew you will spend money on her winning it back. Very silly and irrational
Out
In the words of piersmorgan Theworldsgonenuts ShamimaBegum doesn't deserve a penny from the UK
If they give it her I will be disgusted it's saying to terrorists you can have legal help. While people who need help for serious issues in this country get turned down. I blame government for this
Still think this is the best idea 💡
How can someone who has been stripped of her UK citizenship be allowed Legal Aid? What an absolute joke and an insult to all the hard working tax payers who will be funding this terrorists appeal. disgrace
Not a British citizen so it should not get legal aid.
she can go and do one! i dont think so !!! terrorist piece of trash !!! she lost her rights in this country when she left andmarried a murdering terrorist !!!!!!!! NO NO NO NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe nobody wants to give her legal aid
You joined ISIS you get what you deserve.
Stop winding us up - we don't want to hear about this horrible girl.
Britains...
Tell her to get lost!
Why do we even watch sky news at this point 🤦🏿♀️. Honestly
Stop posting this garbage no one cares she should not have any access to anything here anymore no rights whatsoever for her
This is deplorable, our govt and the traitor Corbyn have sunk to a new low , another slap in the face for British ppl.
What a surprise Corbyn yet again supports someone from a terrorist organization. I don't pay my taxes to support people who would gladly see my destruction
I hope the answer is no! I hope every lawyer turns her down!
screw you, you made your choice...
Didn't do it on her own so which journalists did this for her to create a story and more division?
disgrace
Won’t be long before she’s back collecting full benefits . Lammy could wash her car
This country is so fecked up a bloody terrorist can get legal Aid paid by British tax payers including the families who have list love ones in terrorist attacks in the UK and abroad it's just not right and you get Clowns like Corbyn supporting it makes a blood boil
The day her citizenship was removed I said to my wife; A) she’ll be allowed back after a legal challenge, B) she’ll be awarded compensation and C) she’ll be given a new identity and moved away with her family to a big house. Paid for by UK taxpayers. JUST VERY VERY WRONG INDEED !
What about the victims of Islamic State. Don't they deserve any legal aid.
Just go away!!!!!!🙄🙄🙄😵
Burn her
I hope not 😡
Waste of tax payers money covering her story and giving a terrorist importance. Move on and cover something worthwhile
Legal aid? She’s not a uk citizen... has our country really lost the plot?! You can’t sort out knife crime nor brexit. Can we at least put this scumbag behind us once and for all and move on! sajidjavid people of this country are getting tired of politicians not doing there job!
SHE DESERVES NOTHING
Peeps starving and the fund this
Ha ha jog on, why should my taxes go to a terrorist!!!🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡
Why does she not just F off
Ah not got but appealing, well is not a UK citizen so not eligible!
I don’t think so, I was under the impression she had her citizenship revoked
Burn her
And yet Family of murders Soldiers in 1982 spent 4 years fighting for legal Aid and she gets it within a month, it’s outrageous
It needs hanging!
dontdarehelpyoulegalwankers
Can i withhold the portion of my taxes that would fund this outrage
Is this is news ?
Disgusting decisions I can’t believe it 😡😡
Ponce
Corbyn backs claim to legal aid. He should bloodywell stump up the cost! Plus compensation for all those families of decapitated British' infidels'!
Shameful if this happens it will truly slap the public in the face and all those families who have lost relatives, children and friends to this terrorist group she joined
For someone who says it is ok that children died in that concert explosion gets legal aid it must be fake news! I do not want my tax money given to that woman!!
She had no right to ask this. She knew what she was doing when she left here. She is a risk and a pathetic woman. Go and live with your murdering husband and stop begging in the uk
Next step toward the Islamist take-over. BTW, That is their stated goal.
Is this for real?
If she is not a british citizen how come she is entitled to legal aid.
Disgraceful
she should be entitled to it! the gov have killed far far more.not just abroad but at home! biggest legal terrorist organisation truth
Disgusting. Not paid into the system so why should she get it. People who have worked and paid in don’t get it
Justice for the 21 have been fighting for Legal aid but Govt refuse to! Let’s have parity or is there a motive? Justice4the21 LegalAidAgency
Corbyn loves a terrorist he’s probably jetting off to share a goats head and check out her collection of suicide vest!
If citizen ship has been removed then surely she is no longer ours to worry about - I thought she wanted to go to the Netherlands with her husband
Ppl need to voice their anger and only vote for a party that believes in the UK. Put these sponging politicians on the dole so use your vote wisely
And so say all of us
If she were given a second chance how could she live in the UK now? Her face is so well known and she is probably one of the most hated people in Britain. How could she ever be safe here? If I were her and really wanted to have a fresh start I wouldn’t come back to the UK.

Is this just to make my ulcer play up, because it's working!
Shamima Begum is that her maiden name or her married name ? I assume it’s her married name from a foreign IS husband send her to his country
Legal Aid Seriously!!! She’s going to get aid to help her fight the fact she will be stateless She went to fight against us! Why would we help her? She doesn’t care about us! She wanted to harm us! Legal Aid to be a traitor! No!
Of course she is, the taxpayers pocket is bottomless, except for those in genuine need!
Terrorist gets it no problem, soldiers killed by terrorists their families told they are not worthy of it. This country makes me sick.
What is this country coming to,paying tax payers money to fight for a bitch that doesn’t give a shit about this country and only wants to get back so she can abuse our benefits system.Or cost the British tax payer thousands of pounds a week to keep her in prison,what a disgrace.
Greedy, narcissistic lawyers, they get all the legal aid money.
Why even give this idiot limelight in the news- she lost all UK rights the day she left to join ISIS - fully aware of what she was going into 😡
Wouldn't be surprised if she is already back on British soil 😉
She’s not a British citizen so why should the British taxpayers pay
Unbelievable!
Cunt
She should seek asylum in Pakistan
And now if this terrorist is successful watch this space, she is the litmus test, the flood gates will open. What is happening to our country between one thing and another it is f*****., and I take no pleasure from saying that, believe me.
lol ...
Guilty of treason , deal with the consequences, the end !
This has to be a joke, surely
It’s a disgrace if it’s given as it was when they gave it to her family to try and get her back. if they what her then get on a plain to the camp where she’s in and stay there and don’t scrounge of this country. 🇬🇧👉✈️👈🇬🇧
Legal aid is public money.
She’s a right to try for it. All criminals are entitled to representation. No story here.
Haven't eye witnesses come out and say she was a nasty piece of work in Syria and Sky News are still supporting her?
Is anyone surprised really
Let her rot with her treacherous kind she left to kill now let her enjoy her paradise good riddance
Skysis
Where is she applying for this legal aid? She isn't a British citizen anymore so who is she applying to? Hope she stands on a plug in the middle of the night tbh
Heard on news that her lawyers have been granted legal aid .... sickening waste of money ...
Really!
Legal aid from where? She's no longer a British citizen. fuckoff
How much are hellfire missiles these days?
Stand by for Corbyn & Abbott to throw their weight and stupidity behind this shit!
Yes she is
Us hard working law abiding tax paying British citizens don't get that help so f..k off and stay put you are not welcome to our Money a d county you gave up that right when you joined that evil Vile people who murder inocent people and children get the message we don't care..
No no no , sorry but she,s not British gave that right up when she left . No legal aid in my opinion
Perhaps a petition to parliament stating we no longer want this thing back in our country and that tax payers do not want to pay for her layer.
Sky you need to stop giving this terrorist the publicity. Just stop posting about her.
Do not pass go, do not collect £200, go directly to the UK, you really couldn't make this shit up and as usual Sky are leading the way with their propaganda! Perhaps Rupert can take her in!
I don’t mean to be harsh but if she does get citizenship, she will have to go into hiding for her safety.
cof
Only now the caliphate has been defeated and they have deserted her does she want to return. How much will it cost the taxpayers, legal aid, housing, anonymity, welfare Jeremy_Hunt
I dunno, is she?
Beggars belief. She should never, ever set foot in this country again.
I hope you are not using my taxes for this.
Our legal system is a joke... She made her bed.....
So certain Mp's and ex employees of government have passed comment on a process that allows somebody who is trying the overturn a decision that carried by a government whose former leader helped, to create isis. legal aid is granted for those who cannot afford legal fees.
But she has lost her citizenship , if she got back and ended up in court she would simply say that was not me , it was someone else dressed the same
After seeing her wearing suicide vest in the paper over the weekend! She’ll never change so she can Fuck off with a capital “F” 🤯👎🤯
No no no and bucking no
ISIS is the result of illegal War in Iraq that killed a million people. UK Government is trying to blame its failed foreign policy on a 15yo girl from Bethnal Green.
Give her free dental work and sort her Gravestones out too while your at it.
What the fuck is country doing, does anyone listen to the people! So angry 😡
Cunt
Send in the troops to wipe her out and end this farce. Gets into bed with a peado, gets involved in ISis. Then when it goes wrong tries to get the people she wanted dead to pay her lawyers fees and welcome her back! She’s got balls like!
May as well save some time,give her the compensation she will undoubtably seek along with the three bedroom house and full benefits..
To even give this woman air time is DISGUSTING🤬 When is the BRITISH MEDIA going to STOP Glamorising Murders🤷♂️😡 This vile individual sewed folk into suicide vest, shows no remorse, and refuses to denounce a terrorist organisation that has abandoned 100’s of new born babies
Does she not understand that even if she gets back to Britain there will be millions of people willing to deal with her once and for all, itll be a short return
Stay away.Disgrace no legal aid given to Hillsborough victims.This is everything the do gooders PC brigade biased media and far left has down to the UK
Appalling decision
Royal Mail need to step up and deal with this faulty letter box
Legal aid : she is using our taxes .it was her choice to go to Syria let her use ISIS money to pay her own lawyers
The Ecuadorian embassy really can’t bear any more appeals ..
She could always seek asylum from IS-friendly countries instead.Dubious that she is seeking asylum from UK given her track record as an Islamic extremist with full terrorist credentials
You must be joking right
So the government says she can't come in, for obvious reasons well documented and the tax payer pays her legal fees to contest it.. Stop world I want to get off!! 🙈 worldsgonemad
Is it not dead yet ?
I mean... Families of the bombing victims:
Ffs
I have already written to my MP about this. Whatever you think of her case I really can’t see who somebody who is not a British citizens and not living in the UK can be eligible for what will end up as being hundreds of thousands of pounds of tax payer funded legal aid.
Have we not taken her and her boy friend out with a drone yet? Because her story is droning the feck outta us!!
We’re so civilised, we’re so fair. These barbarians know that in the end they’ll win.
2 gravy trains aka UK money printing machine: EU & it's members tax free zone & lush expenses and LEGAL AID. You can see a legal aid case miles off. Don't tell me Julian Assange hasn't applied, because I wouldn't believe it. Only people without civil right are brexist voters!
No cash no entry to UK
She’ll be back, it will cost a fortune in legal aid and I suppose we’ll then start paying for her house and benefits.
All of this matter should not fall upon ordinary UK Tax-payers, do the Begum family have means to contribute, should a means test come into play?. This may well exacerbate situations for our peaceful, honest, hard-working muslim families with those thuggery groups.
Computer
Can’t the SAS just go and sort this out and all the journalists who are the news of a terrorist as a sob story.
GO DIE
She should not get legal aid as she is not a British Citizen.
It won’t b long before it is back in England with a council house. Twitter is not the place to protest
Look out UK-Tax-Payers, Ms Begum will cost us a fortune, she'll be back, tried, giving community service & told to be a good-girl, given a home, new name & cash for evermore. Where is Truth? Sweet-Terrorist-Housewife, Maker of Explosive-Vests, or pistol waving thug? Which?
Latest news is she was waving an assault rifle around threatening other women and sticking bombs into vests. Maybe write about that rather. Sly News.
Technically her British citizenship has been revoked so she is not entitled to legal aid
Shouldnt get it as not a British citizen anyway. Wee jihadi boot.
To allow legal aid would make a mockery of our laws! Any association with IS should be condemned - you give up all rights in this country full stop! It has to be a big enough deterrent to drive it off our shores not oh because of a loophole you can apply for legal aid! NO!
It’s a joke!! You couldn’t make it up
Legal aid is an excuse for solicitors to get richer at the expense of the taxpayers. All her family and friends plus all the people who think she is welcome here should all chip in and pay for her legal costs. We'll soon see how many change their minds
Get lost
Man up and say no!!!!!
All I can say is WTF...........
No money - stay out of UK.
Someone please give her legal aids not aid
I guess her dodgy family lawyer has food a loophole in the system
Why? The UK doesn't want another terrorist.
Yet you can't get legal aid if you lose your disability benefit.
Absolutely pathetic
Dam disgrace
If she is no longer a british national and not living in the UK why is she entitled to legal aid?
You couldn’t make it up could you! What a clusterfuckery titmangle the UK is
HOW MANY TIMES,,YOUR NOT WELCOME,,STAY WERE YOU ARE
I’d trust her to do less damage in the UK than Teresa May! 😂😂😂
Legal aid is meant for everyone that needs it. Not just those deemed 'deserving' based on public opinion of them. That's not how the law works. Even people we don't like have basic rights. And she hasn't been found guilty of anything. I'd rather see her prosecuted than ignored.
shouldn't be allowed any legal aid from hard-working British nationals . She has a joke ask for us to pay for her.
Goofy is a terrorist.... Goofy can get stuffled!
UK legal aid for a non UK citizen. Don't think so
A bath, clean clothes and makeup, a pensive sad expression all carefully posed in a nice clean room and the media are in a frenzy trying to whip up sympathy because she looks sad in that 1/10 of a second moment when the photo was taken. It's carefully posed to catch the suckers.
Surprised she's still alive to be fair.
DISGUSTING. let her rot in the camp, she chose that life so we should choose to leave her there.
Another story to trigger white people. Works all the time. One would swear that she works for the rightwing parties. Are they all chipping in to pay her salary? They should .. bigger vote catcher than shit on the side of a bus.
Terrorists should not be allowed to claim for anything if they made the choice to become a terrorist. This is looking like the UK are supporting terrorism and funding it. StopHerLegalAidNOW
The Taxpayer computer says...NO
Delete and move on👉
Lets just hope that common sense prevails and the request is turned down
Why should she get legal aid for what ? She lost everything to do with Britain the day she left to fight against this country she’s a utter disgrace and doesn’t have any remorse for what she did and should never be allowed into this country again
You have to be a UK Citizen. As I understand it, she isn't
No no and no
I don't feel comfortable with this, says the Foreign Secretary. Why allow it then?
Sky...seriously....you love her so much!
It is a disgrace that she should have legal aid. An unremorseful woman who hates this country gets legal aid to return It must be revoked
Stop giving this terrorist media time. It's disgusting to even consider letting that thing appeal. A 50 cal will do the trick!
This is gaining momentum again. The conservatives have enough nails in its coffin if she’s allowed back goodbye forever. If she was droned in the 1st place wouldn’t have all this . Most countries destroy its enemies.
Thought she’d give up and fcuked off!
Tell her to jog on she shouldnt get it
I am not British but English, so I have every right to state that this country (England) is absolutely a shit place now, thanks to the assholes who operate this land.
This is exactly what is wrong with this country....to soft
Legal Aid is taxpayer funded. If this is how they apportion funds, maybe we need to look at the funding stream rules and conditions.
Stop pushing this Sky, she should stay where she is, she can't be trusted, she made her choice, end of.
Pathetic
Shamima Begum, the Bethnal Green schoolgirl, served in the Islamic State’s “morality police” and also tried to recruit other young women to join the jihadist group, well-placed sources have told The Telegraph. She was allowed to carry a Kalashnikov rifle and earned a reputation
I don't swear on Twitter
Unbelievable ,
Don’t even think about it
Really I don’t think so
She got legal aid
She's hanging out for those freebies it's killing her that she can't get any benefits from the government there.
This is disgusting why should she spend tax payers money to get legal aid, she should stop in the hell hole she is in, Or do all the innocent people who dies just not count Maybe the families of the innocent victims who were killed should get legal aid to keep her there
We should have sent the drones as soon as we knew where she was!
Stop reporting about her!!! Why do we want to know about someone remotely associated with ISIS.. just get her back to Syria, can't be arsed with these people
Your having a f$% laugh
Lame storyline by
Hang on.....If she is no longer a British Citizen, why is she entitled to legal aid?
She’s a traitor! Why is anyone considering anything other than deportation for her? Ridiculous
Maybe SKY should pay as they seem to be the only ones keeping her story alive!
if she comes back here she will be rich from all the Interviews and the Autobiography, what sort of example does that set maybe that Terrorism Pays
How can she have British legal aid when she is no longer British?
I see your slowly removing the ISIS from your reporting. It’s a trick of the trade to change people’s minds about this traitor.
Why do we continue with this? Her citizenship has been revoked, and therefore she is not British anymore. She no longer has the rights a British Citizen has. Period.
Keep her out of the UK forever
Totally wrong. theresa_may sajidjavid
Tell her to fuck right off!! 😜😜😜
nothing surprises me about our country now!
How is that even possible? After all she's not British anymore, is she?
send a drone..
If she wins it means you can leave this country and help a group who hates your country and still return with no consequences. Our justice system is broken.
Can we send a drone out to liquidate her
But if she’s not a uk citizen she shouldn’t be allowed 😡
Let her stay where she is! She made her choice.
Surprised she needs legal aid must be getting loads of money from BBCNews
She’s no longer a UK citizen so that should be a big fat FO
Why are people so mad about this? If she wins her UK Citizenship then she will come back here and stand trial for her actions. Of which she will be found guilty and sentenced to prison. I kinda get the feeling no one here actually understands this story.
An appalling decision. Using tax payers money to help an accomplice of murders. Thank you to the leftest loons, they are bringing this country down.
Omg wtf! Why? NO
Why should the Tax Payer give Legal Aid to a Girl what knew what she was doing when she joined the Isis a Terrorist Group. ,NO, let her stay where she is
Why is she still making the news? Terrorists shouldn't be given so much air time.
Who's paying?
so brexit wont happen, but isis bride wins appeal. k
She will return and receive housing and benefits while our own war veterans remain cold and homeless.
I'll gladly accept her back...if they bring back executions and she's publicly hung at the Tower of London...
I thought part of what made us proud to be British, proud of our democracy is the notion that the cornerstone to justice is the presumption of innocence over guilt. The haters are so blantantly transparent, they punitive hatred wouldn't be out of place in a Saudi Arabian court.
just suppose she got it back then how much for her protection in uk.We should not be so generous to terrorist
If that tramp gets legal aid.... We riot!!
😡😡😡😡😡 I have no words 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
She’s not an IS bride she’s a terrorist
The Birmingham pub bombings families had their legal aid refused & refused... When people have had enough of this pathetic system & we all kick off, people will look back to try & figure out what happened & why. The gov have got it coming.
You just know shes going to be let back in on full benefits and giving a house so why try stop it
A rouge drone bomb would be cheaper.
Hardly a surprise that they’ve gone down this route, and it’s her right. However her parents are going to be in for a shock once all the evidence from the intelligence community is put before the judge. People shouldn’t get so angry about legal aids decision.
The UK should not be providing one penny of paid legal aid to terrorists
Just proves what a pile of shite the UK has become that we allow the use of taxes to help terrorists to move back here when really they should just be shot or hanged
Her citizenship got removed. How and why would she qualify for legal aid from this country ?
She won’t need legal aid, has its tongue so far up her jihadi arse, they will foot the bill for her
I think that Sky News should be paying her legal expenses..they’ve promoted her story from the start..
😷 we don’t know some people get it easy right
She chose her bed so let her sleep in it
This country are that soft she will be granted stay in the uk, will get a new identity, nice house and benefits, she will be put before British homeless army vets and then she will take part in a terror attack kill more of us and they'll claim she was under watch. LEAVETHEMTOROT
Already been given it according to the BBC.
I'm or all behind this young lady, because what it tells us that we are all guilty of changing governing laws to suit our own needs. It tells us one thing that a 15-year-old may be an adult, not a child if you can understand my meaning. That means they are allowed to vote!
This is just a joke. :-S
Disgraceful!
Just when you think the UK taxpayer can’t be dragged any lower in the pit - you live another day to experience something worse than what you heard the day before. Bamboozles your mind to the country we call “Great Britain”
The nerve of these terrorists. If this Country grants aid it is the epitome of insanity. This Country has gone gone gone, it needs turning upside down, shaking everything out of the sack, and putting back only what is a credit to decent honest people.
We are giving this ISIS lover legal aid - it's unbelievable. There are many people in the UK that deserve legal aid and are refused . Our country is a joke and this is very wrong.
No doubt if it gets it and wins we will also have to pay for a new identity and life for it.
I don’t think Bangladesh have legal aid
Buzzing
Why do Sky post this so much? We DO NOT want her back or want to help her.
Gotta unfollow so sick of this face.
Let Isis. Help! Poor choices do matter!
😡
Sky.....dearie me....you just can't help yourselves eh?
On wot basis Access to LA is v limited
didn't want any aid when she left did she? Stitching bombs into suicide vests according to the Sundays
She went to join Islamic state, a terrorist group responsible for so many murders in UK and across the western world and now we are going to give UK tax money to help a Islamic state member fight the UK gov in the courts to come back to the UK? THE UK IS WEAK AND HAS NO BACKBONE.
Disgusting why should we pay for this animal when the Hillsborough victims didn’t get legal Aid 😬
Taxpayer funded terrorist?
She's should be executed by now
Surely Legal Aid from UK tax payers should only be considered for UK citizens!
In other news wants to keep poking the bear
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha sure
NO, NEVER!
And the families of the RIP96 were refused it that sums up our country
You're still defending her? Amazing.
What I load of bull shit, I get hit by a lorry and drives of and he lieing he did it and now I might have to pay the cost to take him court and a terrorist can get legal aid, just goes to show how crap this country is
It's about time this money was put to good use as opposed to showering it on greedy soldiers and nurses ShamimaBegum
The titanic has sank
C*nt
Well, we all saw that one coming didn’t we.
It's been approved and its disgusting. Does this family have no shame
Is this still a thing? 🤦🏼♂️
