I think you've named the wrong case Abu Hamza was the one Mrs Thatcher gave UK citizenship to. Hard to deport UK citizens |

Whatever, I am sure there was a case that took about 13 years to complete after endless appeals to the ECHR. |

Abu Qatada The one that spent most of that time in jail or house arrest The one klutz fingers Teresa May kept getting the paperwork wrong on and then blamed the ECtHR, the HRA, the man from the off licence and indeed anyone but herself The one that pointed out the extradition was to a kangaroo court based on torture. As was proved when Jordan finally agreed to give him a fair trial which then found that he was not guilty A decent society means giving proper legal rights to those that you, me and even most people don't like |

Half of me thinks "execute all the bastards just suspend due process - be like the yanks" and then my conscience(?) agrees that everyone deserves a fair trial. |

The public did NOT vote them in...More people abstained from voting than those who voted for the tory SCUM. They have a poxy majority of 11 and they probably wouldn't have had that if it hadn't of been for the joke of the so called the postal vote. |

Not true the two posh boys are confirmed Blairites, just look at their interventionist policies. They are about as middle of the road one can get in current UK politics and that is the hill that Blair occupied for years. The extremists today are all on the left with the Corbynites and their Marxist thinking and clear belief in magic money. You misunderstand, Thatcher moved the centre of gravity of British politics to the right and there is no sign that it is going to shift back towards the old failed politics of the pre-12979 lefties. They have become an embarrassing anachronism. |

^ Nope the public aren't tolerating their right-wingedness so they must moderate it so. The majority of the actual populace didn't vote Tory. |
