#2 Sullivan is the same nutcase who last month ruled "that taking away the passport of a terror suspect in Manchester who wanted to travel to Iraq to fight British troops was a breach of his human rights"
So it appears that wanting to fight against your own countrymen is a "human right"
It would be interesting to see how far the courts allow that right to go. Acts of terrorism perhaps?
That's right, terrorism is also legal according to Sullivan, if you only but mouth "refuge, refuge"

#3 The law demands that the law means nothing.

We need to save law from lawyers and judges. They're destroying it.

#4 nothing suprises me anymore - we are on the path to bitter failure in the UK no two ways about it, yes its all doom and gloom from me today but ive come to accept the fact the Uk is fcked beyond all repair unless some mega huge cival war broke out (heres hoping!). I am ashamed of my country and whats its turned into - a mish mash and fcked up laws in a multi cultural nightmare where the rights of the criminal are more then the rights of the law abiding, fcked beyond repair im afraid unless people start and stand up to this madness but lets face it that aint gonna happen with the brain washed mainstream media educated imbiciles that make up 95% percent of Britain.

#5 I share your pain, shep, from the other side of the Pond. This is getting out of hand. Another article I read about this trial sez the UK gov't has already spent between £20-30 million in prosecuting this case and providing benefits (!) to the 'refugees' and their families. That article also noted that the hijackers kept their hostages for 70 hours of negotiations on the tarmac and finally SAS had to storm the plane.

#6 What the fuck is wrong with that judge? Is he taking crazy pills? YOu are going to grant asylum to people commiting acts of terrorism to get it?

#7 Well, if they're not granted asylum, they might be treated harshly in their homeland.

#8 The Taliban is no longer in power. What's their excuse? Sounds to me like they just want to get on the dole.
