Abu Hamza is airborne.

Now for Abu Qatada.

Indeed em. They just want to line their own pockets, at our expense.

[naomi24]

They certainly did that - but the law as it stands gives them the opportunity to do that. Time to re-think the law perhaps?

[boxtops]

should be landing in the US any time now....

[emmie]

that is the problem, where there are lawyers who will take these sorts of cases, and no one is suggesting that human rights are to be abandoned, you will get cases which drag on for years and years, costing the taxpayer a small fortune, time to redraw, rethink the laws

[emmie]

they are already on US soil, the Americans will have to go through due process, i expect the trials to take as long there as they have been fighting extradition.

[aelmpvw]

lots of lawyers will be crying into their champagne

My wife greeted the news with the words ' Thank goodness that w@nker as gone' I said 'It must be hard with a hook' but she didn't get it (prehaps he uses the other hand if he has one)

//// How did he get his injuries ///

Apparently he was caught in an explosion fighting for the Taliban during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.

I only hope that when he has been found guilty in the US, we don't accept him back here to serve out whatever sentence the US courts place on him.

[hc4361]

I hope the US courts find him guilty, otherwise he'll be here before you can blink.

[sandyRoe]

Will the American authorities take into consideration the fact that he was injured while fighting their proxy battle with the soviets in Afghanistan?
And then wasn't it the Mujahideen rather than the Taliban?

[ichkeria]

Who are the new pantomime villains going to be then? Don't forget you need to have one eye a hook for a hand and to dress funny. Applications to ...

"Newsflash" UFO Cloud over Mildenhall turned out to be a false alarm, cause, one eye sht himself, thought he was going on holiday untill he was told different.

Who writes your material, TWR?

I was at a sportsman's dinner last night and, afterwards, a group of us retired to a pub in Falkirk.

We saw the news about Captain Hook in there and a round of shots was immediately bought by my friend Ross. We toasted the telly with the cry of "Fcuk you Abu Hamza" and quickly downed the drinks, much to the bewilderment of some fellow drinkers. Childish? Yes. Enjoyable? Very.
