Emergency hearing over Abu Qatada

Jimbuna · 03-09-13, 11:10 AM

Hopefully this piece of (insert your own word here) will have few days left in the UK. His legal aid bills have already topped half a million and heaven only knows how much he and his family have cost the British tax payer in benefit payments.

I must admit to having had a good laugh at one of his bail conditions:

Oh great, Abu Qatada at the job center...Allah help us all!

The rent bill we are paying for his house is nearly £2000 per month

Lets hope that useless cow of a home secretary gets it right this time with no &^&**&**% ups

Stop the circus and just do what should have been done 10 years ago.
Put the idiot on trial in your country.

The UK has their own nutjob to deal with, and we have ours! At least we have him in court though.

Nice one...if it were my decision I's deport hom and pay the EU or whoever the paltry fine that would be levied...gotta be cheaper than keeping him and his family over here on benefits.

Why is it so hard to deport him Jim?

Jimbuna · 03-10-13, 02:17 PM

His lawyers claim the Jordanian government will use evidence gained as a result of torture to convict him.

They also claim he will be at risk of torture himself despite undertaking to the contrary from the Jordanians.

As a result the EU court of human rights overruled our own high courts decision to allow him to be extradited.

Something along those lines anyway.

That really stinks that a court in the EU can over rule the UK's highest court!!!

Jimbuna · 03-10-13, 03:34 PM

That is precisely why a number of Brits (growing daily) are all for pulling out of the EU.

Like the EU has the nerves to do anything after you flip the bird and deport him anyway.
You're the UK. Too big a dog to be on a tight leash

Thank you and yes I certainly agree....the Italians deported someone a few years back to Africa iirc and the fine was a paltry £100k or so...well worth it to get rid of a financial leech from the system.

Was it along the lines of the EU court saying the British court hadn't followed British law?

It stinks that the past two governments have made a mess of it by breaking their own laws.
If the British courts had a better track record and less of a history of dodgy political interference in cases then you would have a point about the extra layer of oversight.

It would have been far less wast of money if he slipped over a bar of soap into a very deep hole and promptly filled in with cement.
