Of course he did. And how much Legal Aid does Tommy Robinson get? Come on, man! British authorities made their decision long ago. They want many more Ali Harbi Alis and many fewer Tommy Robinsons. So they subsidize the one and not the other.
“‘APPALLING WASTE’ Fury as terrorist who murdered Tory MP Sir David Amess given £100,000 in Legal Aid for trial,” by Mike Hamilton, The Sun, August 2, 2023:
THE terrorist who murdered Tory MP Sir David Amess benefited from £100,000 in Legal Aid for his trial, The Sun can reveal.
The total was reached despite jihadist Ali Harbi Ali admitting he carried out the killing.
Figures obtained from the Legal Aid Agency under Freedom of Information laws show £44,373 was spent on a firm of solicitors who worked at court and a police station.
And the bill was sent spiralling to six figures after £55,655 was paid to two barristers who represented him at his Old Bailey trial, which lasted seven days in April 2022.
Ali repeatedly stabbed the MP in October 2021 at a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
Ali admitted the killing, but denied murder — claiming he was protecting fellow Muslims….

Some people do not want to admit their prejudices are wrong, so they stubbornly persist in them as long as they can. For some reason liberals side with Islam against Judaism and Christianity. Perhaps because Islam and leftism are related. Or perhaps they are given bribes or expect rewards for indulging in jihadi terror. Or perhaps fear of reprisals?

The UK is finished, imagine what the MPs family are thinking. Never ending pain for them

Grimly true, Issie.
Keith O says
I have to stop asking why?
The Brits are turning stupidity into an art form.
Sad really, the UK is finished as a civilised nation.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Keith O.
On the current trajectory, the UK is finished.

The majority of Muslims are brainwashed from a young age they want our country for benefits NHS etc and wont adopt our culture. many walk around like they have left the Afgan caves and our politicians cowtail to them. The future for indeginous British people looks bleak very bleak.

Amess was chair of the HP Friends of Qatar. Qatar engineered a regime change in Somalia. The father of the Somali terr held a senior position in the old regime.
The US have since installed a pro US Pres.
I guess the terr was anti-Qatari more than anti Brit.

I wouldn’t count on that, mick. Whatever Amess’ actions on that board, he was still an Infidel Briton–and a conservative. He was also a friend of Israel and championed having a statue of Raoul Wallenberg erected–the man who saved so many Jews during the Holocaust, and was a critic of Iran. There are many more things he did which may have brought a Jihadist to murder him. Just his appearing at a church and Christian charity, where he was murdered, may have been enough.
On a personal point, he was my English aunt’s MP.

I dread to think what it’s going to be like in this country in even ten years time. These people appear to have curried the favour of the authorities. They have probably infiltrated the authorities to impose their ideology of islam. We must resist appointing known islamics to positions to do with power and try our best to remove any that have made it to these positions, using fair means of foul!
OLD GUY says
Who says crime dose’t pay, lawyers are making big bucks on both sides of the issue. In most cases the TAX payer foots the bill for both the defense the prosecution and the court cost. And in the mean time we support the criminal.

Just madness–that’s the cost of a small home in England for this murderous thug.
Thanks to Bosch Fawstin for his cartoon.

Sadly Europe is brainwashed with atheists. What can you expect when there’s little defense for the Faith that vitally reconstructed European culture. I’m sorry? Islam is NOT Christianity!
