http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21955844 Well, it seems that Theresa May can't find a legal way of sending this bloke to Jordan to face trial. What's to be done?

LOL, if I were him I'd be wary of men in pin-stripe suits following me closely with sharpened brolley's, or avoid hanging around London bridges late at night.

This might be the one time where a bit of good old fashioned rendition may be in order......

I hope we don't ever go down that path. But it's probably happened already.

Can't see that happening myself, too embarassing, even for Theresa May, who must have used up all her embarassment by now.

They should have renditioned him years ago and it wouldn't even be a story.

Maybe he has a cat.

Turned into a bit of an embarrassing day for HMG.

First the Qatada decision, then the Lords defeat on their attempt to remove Legal Aid from appellants against tribunal decisions (ironically, including immigration tribunals).

Re: Abu Qatada - the sequel : Thu Mar 28, 2013 2:03 pm  

But as from 1st April, at the behest of their insurance company paymasters, they are of course fundamentally and right royally screwing anyone who is ever an innocent victim of a future accident.

Plus despite a narrow Lords defeat they are still bent on reducing employees' rights to claim against their employer where a criminal default has occurred. The employer may have committed a crime, but might still not have to pay for the injury.

Add this to the attempts to virtually abolish legal aid, and this bunch of crooks are systematically dismantling a system of access to justice which was once enviable, all for the benefit of big business and government coffers.

They should just shoot him, then get some bogus organisation to take responsibily. Let his nutter followers have a demonstration over his death, infiltrate it with a couple of plants, let them kick off with a bit of violence, allowing the police to wade in, give them a good kicking before locking them up.
