Two things;
1) all those years of Home Office manouvering, dodgy legal practices, appeals and specific international agreements must have cost us a fortune for, apparently, nothing.
2) Will he be allowed back now?
Yeah but the sun probably sold lots of papers telling us how scary he was and that he claimed loads of benefits
He'll be fitted up for something else or flown directly to Gitmo, do not collect $200...
Haven't seen the details but this is quite a surprise. Not too many here will be surprised to hear me say he should not be allowed back.
1) He's had his trial and now can claim he is innocent with a court decision to back it up.
2) No.

it's a good day for the British justice system that someone so loathed by the public, of vile character and despised by the government can get a fair trial and be acquitted.

Really surprised by this. I thought he'd have had a full on 100% fit up if they had no evidence. Good on them for giving him a fair trial but I hope they also give him residency.
give him residency.
He is a Jordanian citizen, he was given political asylum in the UK which was subsequently withdrawn
I think the problem they had was once they agreed not to use 'evidence' gained under torture there wasn't much of a case against him.
It's good to see that the European Court of Human Rights has actually made sure that at least one State will stop using torture as a way of gathering evidence for trials in future. It's just a shame that the British Government needed to be told what the moral thing to do was before they'd do anything about it.

sorry, my comment made absolutely no sense. I was thinking that he wasn't stitched up in the UK on any old bollocks but he was still sent off for trial in a place that seemed to have some sort of claim. I wasn't thinking about it from the Jordanian end at all, I confess.

2) No

Not sure why they bothered really - now they're stuck with him.
Mail readers will be in a tizzy now. Wonder if he will try and get back to the UK via a lorry just to wind the lovely Mrs Theresa May up.
I would not say that he innocent just that the courts have not been able to prove his guilt without the evidence that many other countries have used to label him as the "Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man".
He is out of this country now and won't be able to return. Regardless of cost in doing so he won't have the influence here that he did so worth every penny.
I'm sure he won't enjoy his "freedom" in Jordan and no doubt some deals have been done behind his acquittal to denounce terrorism such as his message that beheadings carried out by ISIS are against Islam were he will remain a puppet of the state.
Can he not be re-arrested for crimes against facial hair?
Trialed in his own country, found NG. I can see a sympathetic jury seeing this one through. Also he sat through Sharia Law court too, NG in that too by all accounts.

Is this the DLT thread?
