Redhead spy Anna Chapman WILL be banned from Britain
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 9, 2010 | JASON LEWIS and WILL STEWART

Russian spy Anna Chapman is to be banned from Britain on national security grounds. Home Secretary Theresa May will revoke her British citizenship and withdraw her British passport next week on the advice of MI5 and Government lawyers. The decision came as Ms Chapman was yesterday undergoing debriefing by Russian secret services on her spying activities in the West and her arrest by the FBI, following an emotional reunion with her family....

Chapman said that she wanted to return to live in London following her conviction in the US but, in addition to the Home Office probe, she is under investigation by MI5 regarding her activities in Britain before she moved to New York. British Government lawyers are understood to be spending the weekend examining the case, but privately, senior Whitehall officials confirmed yesterday that her pass port and citizenship would be withdrawn and she was likely to be put on a secret watch list barring her from entering the country.

The lawyers are understood to believe that she could lose her right to live in Britain on the grounds that her marriage to her British ex-husband was a sham. A Government source said: 'It has been decided that it would be highly distasteful if she were allowed back into Britain.'...

A Home Office spokesman said: 'The Home Secretary has the right to deprive dual nationals of their British citizenship where she considers that to do so would be con ducive to the public good. This case is under urgent con sideration.' ...

Good for the Brits. She should never again be allowed to enter a Western European country. The Brits should pressure their EU counterparts to ban her as well. Her punishment: having lived in London and the US, now she gets to live in the paradise that is Russia.

” in addition to the Home Office probe,”

Where do I sign up for the “probe?” Like to get her in my home office!

The debriefing by the Russian SVK is likely to end the problem for all western nations as the KGB and other forerunners of the current intelligence service have long tended to “eliminate” the problem of failed covert agents.

The best part of the Maclean and Burgess and Philby debacle was the miserable lives they lead after defecting to Russia.

If we would hang or shoot a few, or, I don’t know, lethal injection would work too, it would certainly cut down on spying. Not just the Russian spies, but the thieving Chinese spies as well. It should be a risky business, but our Overlords in the US have removed most of the risk. Executing that woman would have concentrated the minds of the rest of them.

Only in wartime, and even then, sometimes to avoid having one's own spies hung or shot, one keeps them around for trades.

If she loved Russia so much she spied for them let her go live in that Paradise.

Why should she ever be allowed into the countries she tried to bring down?

If she's lucky enough not to be shot, Anna will most probably “disappear” into the countryside and live out her life in a little dacha somewhere. She'll never be heard from again.

She should change her name to Anna Maria Lopez and she’ll be welcomed with open arms here. Change her name to Malik Shabazz and she’ll be welcomed in London.

Exactly. She spies for Russia but doesn’t want to live there.

As long as it's just a few, that'd be OK.

We have to keep some around to trade for our spies.
