So Abu Hamza (aka The Hook) can be sent on his way to the States the ECHR says.
Due to austerity measures in the UK, could there be any truth in the rumour that he will be packaged off in a cage in the hold of a BA flight to travel like any other animal does?
front page of the sun tomorrow.
sling ya hook!
Who cares what the european courts had decided anyway, they did not have the power to prevent the extradition no matter what they had decided, many of those deciding the outcome are not even qualified in matters of law.
I ask myself, would Australia have let him stay in thier country, would Israel care about world opinion if they extradited someone, would a Muslim Country allow someone to stay (unmolested) if they preached hatred of thier culture and religion.
Just get on with it and send him to the USA, you cannot become terrorists to stop terrorism but you cannot beat it by playing by old fashioned British sense of fair play either and sometimes you just have to take the flak of World opinion as we did with carpet bombing, sinking the French fleet, raising Dresden, The Gulf Wars, sinking the Belgranno etc.
well Star...I have read the easy bit..which is " at a glance " button on the link you provided......I don't see any of the above....perhaps you could cut and paste the bit...I looked threee times now and don't see it !!!
it is all in there dean, but not as obvious as it should be. clever words hidden behind clever pages in a manual or treaty as they call it.
Maybe star, but it's old hat now. GB is writing his memoirs and spending time on the US speaking circuit.
There's nothing wrong with defying Brussels. Ship the evil buggers out on the first available flight. When the deed is done and dusted, you can't ship the evil bastards back.
Like him or lump him, M. le Président Sarkozy did just that with the Roma when they started shooting Policemen and rioting in the south of France.
Liberalist groups in the European Parliament and the Commission where aghast at the action and threatened the Président and France with sanctions.
Did it come to anything? Absolutely not. M. Sarkozy told them not only where to stick their fingers but how many at a time and nothing more was said.
That's how to deal with the Commission. Ignore the fooking, insignificant, self opinionated prats.
Agree with you about Maggie though; Her "non! non! non!" in the House all those years ago after Jaques Delors said he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body of the Community, the Commission to be the Executive and the Council of Ministers to be the Senate did wonders for Britain's self-esteem.
Nowhere in that clip you very kindly provided did I see DC extend his hand to NS and it was refused. He patted NS on the back as they passed and DC had a smile on his face. The other two delegates extended their hands which were reciprocated.
I recall seeing an advert on UK TV some time ago. It depicted a young guy who gave every appearance that he was about to do some harm to someone but, in the event, was giving assistance to someone. Many clips can be taken out of context, and the one with the apparent refusal by NS to to shake hands with DC was one of them.
