UK bill quietly gives powers to remove British citizenship without notice (2021)

I'm fine with Americans or Britons, especially those with dual citizenship, losing their U.S. or U.K. citizenship if they leave the country to join a terrorist group such as ISIS.

"Critics say removing citizenship, as in the case of Shamima Begum, who fled Britain as a schoolgirl to join Islamic State in Syria, is already a contentious power, and scrapping the requirement for notice would make the home secretary’s powers even more draconian."

I upvoted you because you highlight an important confusion of two distinct questions:

1) Is removing citizenship a just punishment for some crimes (such as joining a faction at war with the UK)?

2) Should the removal happen at the whims of the Home Secretary, without the safeguard of a fair trial?

I always heard that in the UK one was a "subject" not a "citizen". But admittedly, "subjectship" is a rather awkward construction.

And, as per usual, the river flows on past, slowly eroding the rights of the 99% as the news channels and social media focus on the click ratio.
