"He was held briefly in 1999 under anti-terror laws and Tony Blair said it was 'crazy' he could not be deported." Now he has "discretionary leave to remain," including the right to "claim housing benefit, child tax credits and Jobseekers’ Allowance."
"Al-Qaeda suspect can stay ... you pay," by Graeme Wilson for The Sun, October 15:
AN Egyptian al-Qaeda suspect and his family have won permission to live in Britain — and claim hundreds in benefits a month.Ministers gave Hany Youssef “discretionary leave to remain”, even though the Home Office admits he is on a UN list of people “belonging to or linked” to the terror group.
The decision means he can stay in Britain with his wife and five kids up to 2011. He is also free to claim housing benefit, child tax credits and Jobseekers’ Allowance.
They have already been living in a house in Hammersmith, West London, at taxpayers’ expense.
Crazy
Youssef came here in 1994 and applied for asylum.
He was held briefly in 1999 under anti-terror laws and Tony Blair said it was “crazy” he could not be deported.
Youssef received damages in 2004 after the High Court ruled he was unlawfully detained.
The Home Office twice apologised for delays dealing with his application.
Hammersmith and Fulham MP Greg Hands discussed the case with then immigration minister Liam Byrne last year.
Mr Hands said: “He left me in no doubt he wanted to deport Youssef. I’m shocked they have secretly let him remain.”
The Home Office said: “Our aim is to deport people as quickly as possible but the law requires us to obtain assurances the person being returned will not face certain death.”
Typical of our country at the moment really isn't it?
It took a lot of public support for our Government to allow the Gurkhas to stay (guys who have fought loyally for GB for years who I consider it an honour that they want to live amongst us) but it's no problem letting people who HATE us and want to KILL us at any opportunity stay.
Great (ha!) Britain is fast becoming a fucking joke.
My forefathers will be turning in their graves at how this is being allowed to happen.
I don't think I'm the only Brit to say something is definitely beginning to stir in my blood.
Why are these people housed in the most expensive parts of the UK?
Why not a house on a council estate in Sunderland or Bradford?
Ideally, they shouldn't be here at all of course.
Well if they were housed on a Council Estate somewhere then the Estate Lads would deal with the problem. Quickly.
“Our aim is to deport people as quickly as possible but the law requires us to obtain assurances the person being returned will not face certain death.”

Change the bloody law.
I wonder what would happen if these people were threatened with death in THIS country?
Anyway - so what if they get killed back in their own country, wouldn't that make them martyrs?
Oh wait - they don't want to die themselves they want to find others to do it for them so they reap the benefits.
Don't these Suicide Bombers actually wonder why Dickhead Bin Laden and Alice Zahawahriririri, or whatever the little bitches name is, ain't exploding vests on themselves......
Muslim = Thick Cunt I believe.
" The Home Office said: “Our aim is to deport people as quickly as possible but the law requires us to obtain assurances the person being returned will not face certain death.”"
Unlike the certain death he's more than happy to dish out, or facilitate those who will dish it out.
Has it ever occurred to the numb nuts running this country that if we took a very harsh line, they wouldn't come here in the first place?
I hope those people who can't get the medication they need on the NHS are fully supportive of why there's not enough money to keep them alive.
No?
Well they must be Islamaphobic then.

Why? Can anybody from the UK please answer this simple question? WHY?
Change the bloody law. - Hugh
Because it is EU law, and can only be changed by the agreement of all EU members + the Council. Even if there was any motivation to do so, it would take a couple of years at least ie if the EU moved real fast.

Same answer - it is EU law as EU non-discrimination laws apply. Parliament has ceded all authority on matters pertaining to finance, immigration, trade, and whole host of others, to the EU. Britain as part of the EU, is just another province in the EU empire.

Some would argue that London is no longer part of the UK.

If you don't deport these people, it may be you facing certain death...

Another good reason to bring back the death penalty, especially for acts of terrorism and treason. Then maybe the traitors who allow these murderous islamo parasites to infest would think twice.

If this cretin is on Job Seekers allowance it will only be a matter of time before he will either have to take a job that is offered to him or come off benefit. However I don't suppose there would be much call for someone with jihadi's 'skills' listed in the job centre.
There should be an in depth scrutiny of this idiots bank accounts. It is well known that these people are loaded with cash but still expect the state to pay out benefits to support their gross families and to enable them to continue in their plotting endeavours.

Sorry Bro - had myself a nice bottle of Jack "infidel" Daniels last night and got a bit riled.
Tommo, I don't know why but the rules are different for "others". There seems to be undue tolerance when it comes to job-seeking (take your time, fellows), spousal immigration (arranged marriages okay, no income support needed) etc. But I did speak to a woman in Immigration once about it; she was a strident third-worldist. I suspect the clerks have more say than they are entitled to.
