From the pathetic to the ridiculous

News that a convicted terrorist – released after serving half his ‘reduced’ nine year sentence – cannot be kick out of the country is confusing to say the least!

Like most polarizing issues this one is no different.

The diehard liberals see deporting Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali as a human’s right matter. They argue even a terrorist and a decided killer, a hater of all things western should be treated humanely and his rights for a safe and just life should be observed and protected. Because we, as a civilized compassionate nation can’t possibly send a murder to his country of birth and risk him face ‘inhumane treatment or punishment’!

There is another camp that argues it’s best to ‘….keep your enemies closer’ they think it’s better for safety and security to keep Mr. Ali in the UK and keep a close eye on him, his actions and movements.

However, most of the country, especially those who lost loved ones in the bombing he took part in orchestrating – find Eritrean born Abdullah Ali, walking around freely, using public transport regularly and even possibly have it all paid for by the state, the taxes of those he loathe and hold in such deep contempt and disregards – extremely disturbing!

Last week, Deputy Prime Minster, Nick Clegg, closed his party conference by defiantly saying that the human rights act is here to stay!

My questions to Mr. Clegg, “what about the human rights of those who have to share the same public transports with Mr. Ali, those who felt cheated when his sentence was reduced before he was freed half way – what about the rights of the decent Britons who work hard, pay their taxes and harm no one?”

Criminals like Mr. Ali are not human and do not deserve our compassion, mercy or regard. He should be shipped back not cradled by the state, and the UK needs to look after its own – it’s high time we have our own Bill of Rights.
