I think it was a bit of a race to be honest. If Bangladesh revoked her citizenship first, the UK couldn’t have.
As a Brit-born to Brit parents, if I have gained, say, Irish citizenship (or Spanish, or Kenyan, whatever) then the UK could revoke my citizenship under the same rules. It’s the fact she had another citizenship that allowed them to do this at all.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are some horrible racist pieces of shit who would see it as you’ve described, but I don’t think this is one of them.
She has never had bangladeshi citizenship. She in theory could apply for it through being a descendent of citizens but they wouldn’t give it. You can’t revoke something that never existed. Britain made her stateless.
