I reckon you're right! ;)

As a founding member of the Council of Europe, the UK acceded to the European Convention on Human Rights in March 1951. However it was not until Harold Wilson's government in the 1960s that British citizens were able to bring claims in the European Court of Human Rights

Yet another reason to have a referendum on EU membership, so we have a chance to escape from this madness. Unfortunately, both parties are united in denying us our democratic right, so we're effectively knackered. :rolleyes:

Don't try to be sending Abu Q over here disguised as a Pole, with a pickle in one hand and a beer in the other ... we have enough imams of our own with fartwas coming out of their ying yangs every other day; we don't need another.;):D

I hope we submit our invoice for keeping him safe.

As per BBC website 29 March 2011:

The average cost of keeping someone in prison is £47,000 a year Sources: HM Prison Service, National Audit Office and Ministry of Justice


Plus the costs of policing for several years to make sure he stayed safe,
which included closing one road so that he could hold prayers outside a mosque. If there's any money left over from his claim - we should invoice him for any benefits he's had.
