Abu Qatada

[andy didcott]

100 grand a week to keep an eye on that tit,bet it wouldnt cost the secret services that much to slip an ounce or 2 of pollonium into his morning cuppa.

Won another legal case to stay here, can`t we just stick him in a Hercules and throw him out over the Atlantic? The man seems dead keen on staying in the Country he hates!

Great day for Human Rights.

Crap day for the UK and the Western World.

If I went out and burned the Quran, would I be punished?

Actually, the correct analogy is you going out to, say, Afghanistan and burning the Quran.  Rather than guilty, I'd say your life could be measured in seconds.

[The L J Monk]

What crime has he committed now then?

I assume the BBC wouldn't show that sketch these days.

A couple of years back, I saw a re-run of the Boring episode of The Young Ones. The decent with the copper wearing sunglasses accosts the (white) salesman as he presses the doorbell to the house with "Oi Sambo. That's white man's electricity." Then he takes his sunglasses off and mumbles "Sorry John. I fought you was a nigger."

The whole of that scene was deleted.

They wouldnt get away with it now, even though both cases are effectively taking the piss out of racism and racist attitudes.
