“My constituency is in the heart of middle Britain and I’m sure people living there will think that by using the legal aid system in this way he is abusing the hospitality, protection and privileges of this country.”
Yeah. The entire British political class seems to have gone insane. I myself am banned from the country for the crime of noting that Islam has doctrines mandating violence against unbelievers, but British authorities clearly want this bloodthirsty jihadi in the country. Well, they will all march together into the glorious multicultural future.
“Foreign terror suspect thought to have been planning an IS-style attack granted legal aid to fight extradition,” by Robert Verkaik, Telegraph, January 4, 2020:
A foreign terror suspect who the security services believe was planning to carry out an Islamic State terror attack in London has been granted legal aid to claim asylum in the UK.
The man, who can only be named as 03, was detained in London two years ago in a counter-terrorism operation involving MI5 and Scottland [sic] Yard.
At his flat police found an Islamic State ‘passport’, manuals on fighting with the terror group, terrorism propaganda vowing to kill Westerners and a chilling mocked-up photograph of a terrorist holding a rifle and picture of a London Routemaster bus with the words ‘Sometimes you just got to get up and go.’
Officers also found a picture of the decapitated body of American journalist James Foley who was murdered by Islamic State executioner Jihadi John as well as a video featuring the now-dead leader of Islamic State Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He also had pictures on his computer of the nine terrorists responsible for the Paris attack in 2015 which killed more than 100 people.
Last night the decision to grant the suspect with legal aid was criticised by Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who said: “My constituency is in the heart of middle Britain and I’m sure people living there will think that by using the legal aid system in this way he is abusing the hospitality, protection and privileges of this country.”
According to court documents, MI5 believes the man ‘aspires to engage in some form of attack-planning in the UK’ and ‘that the focus of an ISIL-inspired attack is most likely to be a high profile, heavily-populated city, such as London.’
The security services are concerned that he is planning to ‘use explosives, firearms, vehicles, knives or other bladed weapons, blunt instruments; or any combination of these.’
In 2010 he was arrested outside Finsbury Park station with a surgical knife rolled up in his shorts. In September 2017, 03, who does not have a driving licence, was stopped by police while he was driving a ‘high-powered Mercedes S500’….

The inspirational former President Obama, as popular in the UK as in the US, often spoke of who “we are as Americans”–meaning that certain policies were in accord with the highest of American ideals but others were not. The former highlighted the generosity, empathy and compassion of the American people for immigrants and refugees, whether documented or undocumented.
The generosity of the UK in underwriting barristers and solicitors for the underprivileged people of color is in the same inspirational spirit. It is by analogy “who were are as citizens of multicultural Britain.” It is an atonement for past colonialism and the arrogance of imperialism. It is what is taught in O levels and in A levels. President Obama and Mayor Sadiq Kahn of London are woke to the long arc of history as it bends toward social justice.
President Trump would not understand these advanced and sophisticated concepts. The Hon. Speaker Nancy Pelosi by contrast opposes partisan politics and aspires to be co-President in pursuit of world peace. Her actions and aspirations are in the highest spirit of the US Constitution.

More tedious trolling from “Moshe”.
Although *this* is amusing:

The only question is whether this is intended to be satire or not.
The only problem is that by this point I don’t much care.
keith says
You’ve got to be kidding? If you think that giving money from the intended victims (taxes/legal aid) to the foreign national who was planning to murder them, is somehow acceptable.
Well what can I say, your either delusional or you are on the side of the ones who want to subjugate, enslave or murder us.
I suggest you take a good long look at yourself in the mirror.
Roger Woodhouse says
Nah Hes just a naive muslim appologist trying to be clever.The teal reason the stupid British legal profession carries on the way it does is because its one long gravy train.The poor deluded British are too cowed to see it.The legal profession in Britain exists for itself backed by government to maintain the status quo.Anyone who seriously tries to expose this huge con will be quickly ‘disappeared’
Jayell says
What’s all this about ‘atoning for colonialism and the arrogance of imperialism’ coming from specimens wh deliberately occupy other peoples’ territories, exploit their resources, wantonly commit crime and abuse their citizens? It seems to me that individuals like Moshe are going to have quite a bit of atoning to do if they persist in supporting nasty primeval, parasitical invaders like the obnoxious specimen featured in this story. Or does Moshe identify with them?

“Islam requires the earth—not just a portion, but the whole planet.
The objective of the Islamic Jihad is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system and establish in its stead an Islamic system of State rule.”

UK: Muslim whom security services believe was planning jihad massacre granted legal aid to fight extradition

The article heading says the grant of legal aid is “to fight extradition”. This, unless it is an error, would indicate that a request from some foreign state has been made to extradite this man to answer for some crime. The process presumably involves an extradition hearing, and it is for this that the legal aid has been granted. That may well be a standard procedure.
If there is an application for asylum it would presumably have to await the outcome of the trial, as the applicant has been arrested for criminal activity.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Grammar Note: In the headline “UK: Muslim whom security services believe was planning jihad massacre granted legal aid to fight extradition”, “whom” should be “who”.
They believe he was planning massacre –> Muslim who they believe was planning massacre
They believe him to be planning massacre –> Muslim whom they believe to be planning massacre

“To Know Thyself is to Know Mankind,” is the method to understanding. It has a Deductive Reasoning error. It presumes you can detect everything and that you have in you the bits and pieces of cargo cult belief and recreational cannibalism. Deductive Reasoning then goes on to decide that all who are or become citizens in Western rule of law are citizens and do not have the means to cross their fingers in their minds to retain citizenship elsewhere. Western law is triggered after the fact most of the time.
Western culture with great difficulty deals with Civilizational War where everyone is to do their part to defeat the Western entity not sharing belief, and is to actively cloud the mind of the Western target to conceal the danger of the future plans for the Infidel. Only after decades of victimization and suffering the effects of social demolition did the West understand that Communism was committed to destroy all Infidel entities.
Progressivism is a structural masterpiece constructed by Deductive Reasoning:
–The wealth of the rich is in mansions, good eats, fine duds, jewelry, bags of gold coins, and bricks of banknotes.
–Property is theft; eat the rich.
–The value of a person is measured by their adherence to the secular religion.
Non-believers, having no value beyond belief, are therefore useless eaters. One can hear the music of the boxcar doors tuning up in the distance. This happened with the Leninist branch of the Progressive spectrum and with the European Socialist brand of the spectrum whose belief had changed from the Proletarian class being the downtrodden factory worker to being a village-dwelling fellow-ethnic. This would be the National Socialists an the Fascists.
Other entities, interested in establishing paradise on earth, wage civilizational war to accomplish it. All of these entities are masterpieces of Deductive Reasoning. One would think an interest in Inductive Reasoning would be in order. Recall that science is a combination of Inductive and Deductive Reasoning. Phrenology contains too much Deductive.

So, the UK is currently prosecuting no. 3 on the list of terrorists and would-be terrorists. Just a mere 1.5 million to go.
