PETER HITCHENS: Shamima Begum's latest court blow proves one thing: She is being punished by a nasty...

You may think I am pretty bad now, but you should have seen me when I was 15. I said, did and thought terrible things, which are now hateful to me. The memory of them is pretty much unbearable. I can still shudder at the remembrance of them. But there it is, nasty actions once done cannot be undone, cruel words cannot be cancelled.

I don’t like the look or sound of her. I suspect her basic problem is that she is not very bright. I hope never to meet her. But if anyone has any evidence that she committed a crime, then let them accuse her of it in a court of law, before an impartial jury. And if she is then found guilty I will cheerfully support the punishment she is awarded according to law.

And maybe the members of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission - and of the Court of Appeal, which today refused to give her the green light to take her case to the Supreme Court - have likewise lived lives of blameless sweetness from their infancy upwards.
