Abu Hamza extradition - Page 7

Like Wyn, I put a hold on my rejoicing until he was actually in a plane and up in the air......I feared that something would come along and thwart his extradition(though I couldn't think of anything logical...other than him dying)...but he's gone....so Yipppeeee!
Hope his family follow him to be nearer for visiting....and hope that there is some legal way to stop any benefits payment to them. Him and his ilk have cost us enough already.

What amazed me was on news this morning n yank reporter was saying the yankee people hardly know who these guys are!

Been very little reporting on this issue oer the years.

Maybe that is so that when they come to court over there(in 2-3 years time) they get a fair trial.......by that I mean that they are incarcerated over there(where the prisons are much harsher) for a damn long time......oh, and I hope they look after his medical conditions well....we wouldn't want him to die...would we??????

cashman · 06-10-2012, 06:40

Personally don't give a stuff about a fair trial or his medical condition being looked after, just glad to be shut of this carrion. I know thats what you meant, but i said it lol

But not without leaving a forwarding address and his bank details in the US so he can continue to receive his Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance, Disability Benefit and Winter Fuel Allowance........

Well he might not be claiming now but his brood will still be kept in the custom they've become used to, what is it 8 kids and a wife all there with the begging bowl every week

Ya I kinda like their sentencing over the pond, 99 years to life would be good, and of course the best medical treatment to make sure he takes full advantage of his new landlords

Actually, he will be in court pretty soon. However, the trial could take 1 to 3 years. And he will be held in a kind of segregation, reserved for high profile prisoners. But, it still isn't a big deal; and the bs he was responsible for in the Land of Uk doesn't mean a hill of beans in the Land of the Free and the Home of Fast Food. However, he will get a fair trial and the best defence Saudi Arabia can buy.

You never know, with all the avenues of appeal open to him, he might die before the verdict comes down ... quel dommage, as they say in la belle Province.

And the thing about US jails ... they may be a little harsher than those in the UK, but not by all that much. It's not so much that the jails are harsher ... Hollywood is not reality

... it's more of a case of the inmates being tougher and meaner. But, if he is convicted ... and there is always a chance that his lawyers will get him off ... he probably won't end up in general population. Remember, with good lawyers, you can get away with murder in the US ... O. J. Simpson, eh.

If Abu Hamza does get pen time in general populaion, he'll be on his knees at least 5 times a day ... facing east, west, north, south.

The BBC are too busy covering up the tracks of their past sinners: namely Jimmy Saville, John Peel and Gary Glitter. Seems like 'Top Of The Pops' was nothing more than a seedbed of debauchery!

Where did that come from? The old Beeb is wonderful I would never miss any of their pause for thought moments on radio 2.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Abu Hamza is now out of this country.

"Like the rest of the public I'm sick to the back teeth of people who come here, threaten our country, who stay at vast expense to the taxpayer and we can't get rid of them."

Erm ...European Convention.....*cough* referendum on the EU Dave?
