‘The Law is an ass’ is a famous phrase popularised by the author Charles Dickens to illustrate how the law can sometimes radically differ from common sense. It is a phrase that most certainly needs to be applied to this latest case of giving human rights to a man connected to groups that have committed some of this centuries most inhuman acts. The latest departure from common sense or ‘ass-like behaviour- by the Special Immigration Appeals Committee (SIAC) is to allow a dodgy Algerian with alleged terror connections to stay in the United Kingdom. The SIAC is allowing this to stay on the grounds that the fight against deportation is damaging the Algerian man’s ‘mental health’. This is a seriously weak and probably unjust verdict from the SIAC especially as this man is such an egregious example of the Islamic extremist species.
The Algerian who arrived in the UK on a forged French passport in 1995, who had associations with some quite nasty Islamic terrorist types and had been accused of organising jihad training for British Muslims. He’s a man whom successive British governments have tried to remove from the UK on security grounds and his record shows that he should be removed. I’m all for fair courts but I have to ask how fair is it on the rest of us to have to have this particular supporter of inhuman savagery allowed to stay in the UK. The SIAC seems very concerned with the Algerian’s mental health but don’t seem to give a monkey’s chuff about the fate of those who may end as victims of those Muslims whom this man has encouraged to go on Jihad. This man, who by any reasonable definition is not conducive to the public good, has been allowed to continue to remain in the UK and presumably allowed to continue to engage in activities that are supportive of jihadism. This is, in my opinion, a perverse judgement that places the rights of a man with a record of questionable associations and activities way above the rights of you and me. Whosoever side the SIAC is on, with judgements like this it doesn’t seem like they are on the side of the ordinary citizen.
Here’s a section of the Daily Telegraph article on this latest case of legal idiocy. As is usual policy for this blog the original text is in italics whereas this blogger’s comments are in plain text.
The Daily Telegraph said:
A wheelchair-bound Algerian terror suspect linked to Osama Bin Laden has won his 21-year legal battle to live in the UK in the latest blow to the Government’s efforts to expel foreign jihadists.
The father has repeatedly defeated attempts to deport him despite being accused of helping to send young British Muslims to terror training camps abroad.
This is the very sort of Muslim who Britain should be removing and not allowing to stay in the UK.
Now a judge has ruled that the threat of deportation has affected his mental health and quashed the Home Office refusal to grant him the right to indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
You have to ask in these situations whether Mr Justice Collins the presiding judge of the SIAC cares more for the mental health of dodgy Muslims like this than about the health and well being of the rest of us?
The judge has also overturned government restrictions which had forced him to stay at his home address and report to a police station once a month. He is also to be allowed to study Algebraic Thinking at the Open University.
It gets worse not only are we allowing this potentially dangerous person to stay in the UK the security agencies are not going to be keeping even the most cursory eye on him now.
The case is another blow for the Home Secretary Amber Ruddwho lost a series of court cases involving the deportation of terror suspects last year.
The man who can only be referred to as ‘G’ came to the UK to claim asylum in August 1995 using a false French passport. But in 2001 the Government decided to deport him after evidence emerged that he was a suspected terrorist and a risk to national security.
The Home Office claimed he was an active supporter of the Algerian terrorist group Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC) ‘which has links to Usama Bin Laden’s terrorist network.’
The Government further alleged: ‘Your activities on behalf of the group and of extremist fighters in Chechnya include sponsoring young Muslims in the UK to go to Afghanistan to train for Jihad.”
This is a man with a long record of dodgy associations that have hung around him like the stench of flatus in a lift. He’s a prime example of someone who should be excluded from the UK.
In his long running legal battle he twice lost appeals to his deportation but because of human rights laws the Government has been unable to remove him to Algeria.
Yet again we see a situation where human rights laws that were put together in a different era to counteract a completely different type of evil, being unable to protect those deserving of protection and instead protects those who ally themselves with evil. I’m sure that this was not the intention of all those learned people who created the original Human Rights Declarations, but this is what has happened. The unintended consequence of Human Rights laws as currently formulated rob the UK of the ability to deport and exclude those who are plainly up to no good whatsoever. It’s both amazing and worrying that the British legal and political system which seemingly cannot get rid of dangerous supporters of inhuman Islamic savagery, can quite easily exclude those who wish to come to the UK to speak against the depredations of Islamic savagery.
Now in a ruling on December 16th by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, Mr Justice Collins said that G no longer poses a risk to national security and that limiting his right to live in the UK threatened his mental health.
This whole case stinks of Islamic lawfare. This case has been dragging it’s way through court after court for years but every time there appears to be another ruse concocted up to keep this man in the UK. Although I have to admit that fighting legal cases is mentally taxing, I have seen enough misuse of the law by Islamic groups to state that there is the distinct possibility that this man’s claim of ‘mental health damage’ because of the court proceedings is bogus. It’s the sort of claim that if it can be backed up with a dubious psychiatric deposition looks good in court reports to the judge. It’s another example of dangerous and dodgy Muslims using our legal system against the nation. This man is now free to radicalise other Muslims in the UK and may well do so. This was a seriously perverse decision by the court, I’m gobsmacked by it. It shows that not only is there an urgent need to reform and toughen Britain’s immigration and deportation systems, but it also illustrates how tightly our courts are tied by Human Rights legislation that is now unfit for the purposes of protecting the innocent from the wrongdoer.
