Abu Qatada And The Never-Ending Appeals Process.

Abu Qatada, that most charming and harmless of individuals, has not been deported to where he may have to face justice.

Absurd appeal has followed absurd appeal. His lawyers are playing ridiculous games with the system.

I have long called for a 'Law of Common Sense' which would override all instances where the Law has been twisted to produce a lamentable outcome.

This case would be a prime example and 'the man on the Clapham omnibus' would have the final say.
