While the media elite have oozed pity for Shamima Begum, the public have shown no such moral depravity. In this on the sofa discussion programme with spiked editor Brendan O’Neill the majority of young volunteers taking part are clear that her age is no excuse, they don’t want her back and she is a traitor. Keen to understand why anyone would leave the UK to join a barbaric death cult, young volunteers question multi-culturalism and ask what British values really are. O’Neill outlines the disastrous impact of ‘grievance culture’ and summarises the British values we need to make citizenship meaningful and he suggests, we should re-think the UK’s treason laws.
