wow just saw a trailer, looks very interesting, if anyone knows anywhere except sky or now tv where i can watch itIt’s called the return: life after ISIS

She wanted to keep the family as a unit, yes because it is better to take your four children to live with ISIS than be separated from their terrorist father and remain in the UK with their mother and extended family and the life they have always known.Not Shamima this time but another terrorist sympathiser bemoaning her luck. Children in tow this time.

Islamic State mother Nicole Jack says 'don't sweep us under carpet'
Nicole Jack, who joined IS in 2015, says she is "out of sight, out of mind" in a camp in Syria.www.bbc.co.uk
This is starting to look like a campaign from the BBC and the media.
“For god’s sake think of the children”. Why? She didn’t.
you see I don't understand how what they thought they were joining was different from what it was, right from the beginning IS made their views on women's rights/gay people etc very clear. Maybe it was worse than they thoguht in terms of dangers on the ground, but ultimately they must have agreed with the views that were espousedInteresting little video from the BBC.
Both of these guys have also been stripped of citizenship and I see now concerted campaign to bring them back. One is severely disabled.
The way these groups work is insidious. They tell you you can’t trust the government, the police, the media etc. They tell you everyone else is lying to you and they, and only they, are telling the truth. If you’re young, idealistic and feel disenfranchised that is exactly what you want to hear. “Your problems aren’t of your own making but are because of racism/islamophobia/sexism/homophobia/boomers (pick one). We are like you and we will not lie. We have your back”. Pure bull of course, but you wouldn’t believe it unless in your heart of hearts you wanted to believe it.you see I don't understand how what they thought they were joining was different from what it was, right from the beginning IS made their views on women's rights/gay people etc very clear.

True, I mean it is the same with all the mad conspiracy theories now I guess. Sorry this is a topic that just makes me too angry, I worked in a small organisation that dealt with this area, and hearing some people justify their children going to join ISIS (when it was very obvious how awful they were) just pushed me over the edge and I find it difficult to sympathise as it is clear some (I assume a minority) of the families of these children did have these views that clearly influenced their children as @Misbehaving has said was most probably the case with ShamimaThe way these groups work is insidious.

More national press? She must have some very well connected people in her corner trying to drum up sympathy.
I'm just waiting for Clarence Mitchell to appearMore national press? She must have some very well connected people in her corner trying to drum up sympathy.
She must have a book full of new excuses she can use.
Sky News (and all News Corp publications) have a right-leaning bias so I was puzzled as to why they were the ones to publish this interview that is now being covered elsewhere in the press. I don't necessarily think Sky is trying to drum up sympathy. I think that they know that their viewership go mad whenever Shamima Begum is given any attention and it will cause people to engage with negative Youtube comments, angry tweets etc. Now you're probably right that she has good connections who reach out for interviews on her behalf to garner sympathy, but definitely the news-broadcasters choosing to share her interviews do so because that this type of interview will cause outrage and thus engagement happens. More views, more money.More national press? She must have some very well connected people in her corner trying to drum up sympathy.
