Funny thing is, it took years to get the brits to extradite that guy (what's his face again?) linked to the early 90s terrorist attacks in Paris.

All that time they didn't give a fuck about actual terrorists and muslim fundies while the French medias had plenty of reports about them, and now they accuse the French of ignoring the threat.


A 'centrist' is someone who's neither on the left, nor on the left.

He wasfinally sentenced to jail for life on October 26 (yes, a month ago, after 10 years spent in the UK successfully fighting extradition)

Its called legal process, and thank god for it. The government would have loved to have extradited Ramda (and tried time and time again) but the pesky courts insisted that a prima facie case be demonstrated against him.

The court, quite rightly 'gave a fuck' about the evidence before them (which was shaky) and not terrorist hysteria - the government on the other hand ...
