The System is Working! MI5 Knew About Crotch Bomber, Said Nothing

Nice to see Britain's MI5 on top of things as our own Department of Homeland Security. I guess their system is working.

Britain's top spy agency, MI5, detected Detroit airline bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab talking with London Islamist extremists three years ago, but said nothing, according to a new report.

The man who tried to blow up a flight from Amsterdam with an underwear bomb was a student at University College London when he had "multiple communications" with suspected terrorists, the Sunday Times of London reported.

The paper's source said the 23-year-old Nigerian was "starting out on a journey" of hate that led him to attempt the Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines Flight 253.

Head firmly buried in the sand, Obama blames -- what else? -- poverty in Yemen, no the twisted brand of Muslim ideology.

Meanwhile, President Obama yesterday made his strongest statement yet tying the bomber to Yemen's al Qaeda branch.

"We know that he traveled to Yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgencies," Obama said in his weekly address.

"It appears that he joined an affiliate of al Qaeda, and that this group -- al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula -- trained him, equipped him with those explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for America."

He seems quite sure of all this after spending the past week scouring for clues on Hawaii's finest golf courses. Still no calls for a 12/25 Commission, I guess.

Seems according to MI5 Abdulmutallab was one of many "youths" being recruited by Al Qaeda.

Intelligence officials have defended their decision not to flag Abdulmutallab as a possible terrorist risk. They say he was one of many youths who mix with extremists, but are not themselves thought to be involved in plotting or supporting terrorism.

A senior Whitehall official said the intelligence agency had conducted a quick assessment of Abdulmutallab while he was living in London and concluded that he was not a threat to national security.

“There had to be a judgment made depending on the nature of the relationship as to whether there was any threat,” said one official. “Someone will have judged: okay, [he is] noted but if there was no evidence of a threat, [they would] move on.”

British officials believe Abdulmutallab was recruited to undertake the Detroit plot after he left Britain, most probably while he was in Yemen last summer. Up to a dozen young British Muslims are thought to be engaged in terrorist training there, according to officials.

While in Britain, Abdulmutallab attended a mosque in Goodge Street, central London, which is run by the Muslim World League, a Saudi-based organisation. The league promulgates a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, but has repeatedly condemned terrorism.

One of the radical preachers believed to have inspired Abdulmutallab is the American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is based in Yemen and is believed to have inspired several terrorist cells in Britain and the United States.

British Healthcare System Wants To Kill Infant With Breathing Problems

Still want an omnipotent government-run healthcare system? Maybe you will change your mind after reading this story.

In England a hospital is seeking permission to kill a couple's infant because he was born with congenital birth defect with makes breathing on his own difficult. The baby has to be assisted with a ventilator. This does not stop the child from functioning. He plays with his toys and responds to his surroundings. The reason they want to kill him is because they say his quality of life is too low.

Who are they to decide this? The parents are split on this also, but for the life of me I cannot fathom what kind of macabre world we live in where a living human being can be sacrificed on the altar of medicine just for some sort standard of life that doesn't meet their ideals.

Despite having to remain in hospital and being dependent on a ventilator to breathe, he enjoys having stories read to him and listening to music, they say.

The lawyers are submitting video footage to the court, which they say shows him playing with his toys.

Lest you think this is some sort of disease that reduces its sufferers to some sort of vegetative state, think again.

An estimated 300 people have CMS in the UK, with varying degrees of severity.

Some who inherited the condition die soon after birth, while others can expect to live a relatively normal life with medication.

Is this what human life is being reduced to? Some sort of data point on an actuarial table? What makes this act any different from the Islamic homicide bomber who walks into a school and kills children?

Is this what you want in America?

British Kids Clueless About History

When kids up to the age of 16 think Auschwitz is some kind of beer or a type of bread, you have a serious problem on your hands. I'll guarantee they all believe in mythical global warming, however.

HUNDREDS of British school children believe Auschwitz is the name of a beer, religious festival or type of bread instead of the infamous Nazi death camp, a survey reveals.

More than 1000 high school students aged between 11 and 16 were asked what they knew about Auschwitz, where about 1.3 million people died during World War II.

Ten per cent said they were unsure, while eight per cent believed Auschwitz was a country bordering Germany, two per cent said it was a beer, another two per cent said a religious festival and one per cent said a type of bread.

Six in 10 students also had no idea about Hitler's Final Solution - a plan to exterminate all Jews - with a fifth saying they thought it was the name of peace talks to end the war.

Nanny State Rising

Energy-guzzling plasma TVs will be banned in Brussels eco blitz

The plasma screen television is poised to become the next victim of the battle to curb energy use legitimize and perpetuate al-Gore's Hoax.

Giant energy-guzzling flatscreens are expected to be banned under legislation due to be agreed by the EU this spring.

Plasma screens have been nicknamed the '4x4s' of the living room because they use up to four times as much electricity and are responsible for up to four times as much carbon dioxide as traditional cathode ray tube sets.

The most energy intensive will be phased out under the new EU standards for minimum energy performance, which will follow the voluntary withdrawal of the traditional 100watt light bulb.

The remaining TVs of all types will have to carry energy rating labels designed to make it easy to distinguish between the best and worst performers.

LCD flat screen TVs are much more energy efficient than their plasma cousins so are unlikely to be banned.

That is, until some nitwit deems otherwise.

A 42in LCD TV uses similar amounts of energy to a much smaller traditional set.

A spokesman for the Department-for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the plasma TV would not be banned completely, with eco-friendly sets remaining on the market.

The moves are part of an effort to tackle climate change by stemming the spiralling electricity consumption in households.

It involves phasing out wasteful devices and introducing low-energy alternatives.

Families have nearly three times as many electrical appliances and gadgets as a generation ago and the amount of electricity used to power them has doubled.

Today Britain has 60million television sets - one for every person in the country.

Plasma screens, which are common in pubs and supermarkets, as well as in homes, are among the most popular buys.

A Defra spokesman said that in the past five years the main TV in many households has changed from being a 24-32in cathode ray model to a 32-42 flatscreen TV.

Busy doing some housecleaning, Carol M. Browner was unavailable for comment.

Good News: Sharia Courts in UK Now Legally Binding

The British may as well just surrender entirely now and give way to the inevitable. Sure seems as if they lack any fight against this madness.

Islamic sharia law courts in Britain are exploiting a little-known legal clause to make their verdicts officially binding under UK law in cases including divorce, financial disputes and even domestic violence.

A new network of courts in five major cities is hearing cases where Muslims involved agree to be bound by traditional Sharia law, and under the 1996 Arbitration Act the court's decisions can then be enforced by the county courts or the High Court.

Officials behind the new system claim to have dealt with more than 100 cases since last summer, including six involving domestic violence which is a criminal rather than civil offence, and said they hoped to take over growing numbers of 'smaller' criminal cases in future.

The revelations sparked uproar yesterday, with warnings that the fundamental principle of equal treatment for all - the bedrock of British justice - was being gravely undermined.

Critics fear Britain's Islamic hard-liners will now try to make sharia law the dominant legal system in Muslim neighbourhoods, and warn that women often receive less favourable treatment at the hands of the traditional Islamic courts.

‘The Blame of 9/11 Belongs to No One But the American Government. They are the Terrorists'

No, I'm not quoting Michael Moore. This comes from another guy who looks as if he's never skipped a meal, some maggot by the name of Omar Mohammed Bakri, who promises the "next 9/11" will take place in Britain.

The next 9/11 will take place in Britain, members of a banned Muslim extremist group warned on the anniversary of the terror attacks.

The claim was made at a hate-filled meeting addressed via video link by exiled cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed.

Leaders of the Al Muhajiroun sect said Osama bin Laden had taught the Americans a ‘lesson’ seven years ago, but the ‘crusaders’ had not learned and the next ‘9/11 will take place in Britain, the next 7/7 [London bombings] could take place locally’.

Radical preacher Bakri told a 100-strong audience of supporters in Walthamstow, east London, last night that he believed the British government was trying to assassinate him and claimed to have foiled a bomb plot.

Technical difficulties meant much of his speech was inaudible, but his appearance was greeted by cheers of ‘faith’ and ‘god is great’ at the community centre.

Bakri’s right- hand man, Anjem Choudary, led the proceedings in person, under the auspices of a group called Association for Islamic Research.

The most incendiary speech was delivered by Saiful Islam, who lauded Bin Laden and al Qaeda for their ‘courage’ in retaliating against the ‘dictatorship and oppression’ of the West.

He said: ‘The blame of 9/11 belongs to no one but the American government. They are the terrorists.

'Sheikh Osama warned America numerous times, it was because of their own arrogance, because they thought they are a superpower and nobody could match them, that Sheikh Osama taught them a lesson - a lesson they still haven’t learned.’

OK, so if the U.S. government are the terrorists, would they have taught themselves this lesson?

Memo to Troofers: This slob just reminded us who pulled off 9/11.

Not that such confirmation will make a dent with the denizens of the fever swamps.

'He is Muslim, and He Gets Out of Islam...What Are We Going To Do? We Kill Him, Kill, Kill'

It's a good thing they promised to clean up their act. Must have been some really crazy stuff going on beforehand.

Hardline female ‘preachers of hate’ are radicalising Muslim women at one of Britain’s top mosques. The Saudi Arabian preachers were secretly filmed ordering women to murder gays and ex-Muslims.

Undercover reporters from Channel 4’s Dispatches recorded the lectures in the women’s section of Regent’s Park Mosque in London.

An unnamed Saudi woman is seen mocking other religions – labelling Christianity ‘vile’ and an ‘abomination’. Another, known as ‘Angelique’, claims Britain is a ‘land of evil’.

The investigators attended lectures for two months at the mosque, which had promised a clean-up after another Dispatches probe just 18 months ago exposed it for spreading extreme Islamic views.

During one sermon, a woman called Um Amira says: ‘He is Muslim, and he gets out of Islam...what are we going to do? We kill him, kill, kill.’

In the programme, to be screened tomorrow, she adds that women adulterers should be stoned to death and people who have sex before marriage should get ‘100 lashes’.

Regent’s Park Mosque is one of the biggest and most prestigious Islamic institutions in the UK. Opened in 1944 by King George VI, it can hold up to 5,000 worshippers.

After the 2007 Dispatches investigation, which also looked at mosques in Birmingham, West Midlands Police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) claimed Channel 4 had distorted sermons and tried to press charges.

But watchdog Ofcom dismissed their findings and Channel 4 won six-figure libel damages from the police and CPS.

This time, Dispatches returned to Regent’s Park Mosque to find exactly the same extremist books on sale there and the female preachers spreading radical Wahhabi Islam.

One Saudi woman, who mocks other religions, says: ‘We feel nothing sometimes going past the church. What they say with their tongues is so vile and disgusting, it’s an abomination.’

Another female preacher, Um Saleem, says it ‘breaks her heart’ to see Muslims ‘working in banks, wearing short sleeves...and make-up’.

Lovely people.

Bored While Waiting for the Bus? Well, Then Clench Your Butt Muscles and Get Some Exercise

Nanny-state nonsense taken to the ultimate extreme. Michael Bloomberg would be so proud. This photo is a gem. The old lady with the curlers has a Rumsfeldian glint in her eyes as scratches her head in bewilderment. Feel free to caption the photo.

A bizarre Government-funded campaign is being launched to encourage people to exercise while they’re waiting for a bus.

According to the campaign’s organisers, those minutes spent at the bus stop watching the traffic go by could be spent more usefully – by standing on one leg, pointing your toes or clenching your buttocks.

But the latest attempt to get Britain fit has been slammed by an MP as ‘a shocking waste of taxpayers’ money’.

And one angry passenger said last night: ‘Fares are ridiculously high as it is. So why don’t they use the money they’re spending on this nonsense to cut the cost of bus travel?’

Leaflets and posters setting out six Pilates-style exercise moves to do at the bus stop are being distributed to passengers travelling on buses between Blackburn and Manchester.

Not everyone is amused.

But Tory MP Philip Davies lashed out at the move. He asked: ‘Is this April 1st? The Government is virtually bankrupt and yet it is spending its last few pounds encouraging people to do Pilates at bus stops.

‘It is the nanny state gone completely mad and a shocking waste of taxpayers’ money.’

'I Don't Care If You Are Black, White, Green or a Martian From the Moon'

We'll overlook the fact that Martians aren't from the moon in light of the absurdity of this story out of--where else--Britain.

Apparently it's now racist to tell "Asian youths" to go home when they're drunk and causing a disturbance.

A grandmother and former policewoman was arrested on race charges after telling a group of noisy university students to 'go home'.

Lib Dem councillor Jo Calvert-Mindell, 51, was left 'sickened' after cops carted her off to the police station and charged her with using racially aggravated threatening words or behaviour.

The arrest came after Cllr Calvert-Mindell, a former PC and social worker, had called cops to report a group of eight drunken University of Kent students who were repeatedly waking her and neighbours on her estate in November last year.

Two Asians in the group claimed she was being racist.

When she stepped out of her home in Canterbury to confront to students she told them: 'Why can't you go back to where you come from and make some noise there? I bet your families and neighbours wouldn't put up with it.'

After reporting the incident, Ms Calvert-Mindell thought nothing more of it until March 15 when she was arrested.

On April 30 she was officially charged with the offence and on May 14 she appeared in the dock of Folkestone Magistrates Court where she denied one charge of using racially aggravated threatening words or behaviour under section 5 of the Public Order Act.

The charge hung over Cllr Calvert-Mindell until the Crown Prosecution Service decided to drop the case last week admitting there was little chance of conviction - and now she is filing an official complaint.

Cllr Calvert-Mindell, a community volunteer, said: "The last thing I am is a racist. I have a totally inclusive attitude to different races and cultures - I don't care if you are black, white, green or a martian from the moon.

'Their colour had nothing to do with it - it was their behaviour.

'I think there is something very wrong in our society when a resident can't go out and try and prevent crime and disorder and encourage the defendants to go back home and that they can then play the race card to completely absolve themselves of an responsibility for that behaviour.

'The authorities today are so sensitive to being criticised for being racist themselves that any claims of racism just raises their antennae, instead of using common sense.'

Peaceful Religious Men Admit Bomb Plot Role

They look like such fine, upstanding young men, don't they?

Well, they're admitting to having a role in a plot to bomb Heathrow, but aren't quite ready to divulge all.

Though the way things are going in Britain, they'll probably be walking free by the weekend.

Three British Muslims accused of plotting to blow up transatlantic planes flying out of Heathrow with liquid bombs admitted today attempting to cause explosions.

Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 27, Assad Sarwar, 28, and Tanvir Hussain, 27, admitted the offence at Woolwich Crown Court, in South-East London.

But they still deny that their bombs were part of a wave of suicide attacks on US-bound passenger jets using homemade devices made of hydrogen peroxide smuggled on board in Lucozade and Oasis soft drinks bottles.

Instead they claim they were only planning to set off small devices around London in protest at UK foreign policy and had no intention to kill or cause injuries.

The three men listed potential targets as the Houses of Parliament, Heathrow Terminal Three, other 'iconic' buildings or sites such as oil refineries.

The jury must now decide whether they - and five other defendants - are guilty of conspiracy to murder.

The three men also admitted conspiring to cause public nuisance by distributing videos threatening suicide bomb attacks in Britain.

Two of their co-defendants, Ibrahim Savant, 27, and Umar Islam, 30, also admitted conspiring to cause a public nuisance.

Threatening to blow up an airport is now a nuisance?

Mein Fuhrer

The 20-page booklet is expected to sell for £150
Schoolboy's letter to Hitler to be auctioned

A chilling essay, written by a 10-year-old schoolboy praising the Nazis, is to be auctioned in Britain.

The rare essay was written by German pupil Gunther Himpfel as a gift for Adolf Hitler on his 50th birthday in 1939.

The 20-page booklet entitled 'Der 50 Gerburtsag des Fuhrers' which translates as 'The Fiftieth Birthday of the Fuhrer', was discovered at a flea market in Berlin and is now set to fetch £150 at auction in Shropshire.

The pupil received top marks for the essay in which he pays tribute to "greatest leader Germany have ever had" and says he hopes Hitler will live for many years to come.

Experts say the booklet serves as a chilling reminder of how the Nazi propaganda machine even extended to vulnerable schoolchildren.

Richard Westwood-Brookes, a historical documents expert at Mullocks auctioneers who will sell the booklet at Ludlow Racecourse next Wednesday, said: "You never cease to be amazed at depths the Nazi propaganda machine plunged in the years leading up to the outbreak of World War II.

"Here you have a ten-year-old schoolboy who should be involving himself with childhood things, instead being used as a political pawn in the Nazis' evil game."

"It is a very rare item as it's not something the average German family would want to keep - they would usually give these type of things away or destroy it."And if you can't get more than £150 for it, you're not much of an expert. Or auction house.

Dr Christoph Mick, from the department of history at the University of Warwick, said: "The essay tells how much the German people love Hitler and outlines how Germans now live all together in one state.

"It describes how the masses celebrated Hitler and that he is the greatest leader Germany ever had.

"The article also praises Hitler and his 'great friend' Benito Mussolini and expresses the hope that Hitler and Mussolini may be able to preserve peace.

"And the author hopes that Hitler may live for many years to lead the German people."

Good News: More Anti-Terror Files Left on a Train

Amazing levels of incompetence.

Ministers were accused of presiding over a 'culture of carelessness' yesterday after a second set of secret Whitehall papers was left on a train.

The documents, which set out the Government's strategy on tackling terrorist funding, drugs trafficking and money laundering, were found on a commuter train heading for London's Waterloo Station last week.

They were lost on Wednesday - the same day that a separate file of highly classified intelligence documents concerning Al Qaeda and Iraq were left on a separate train leaving London, prompting a major police investigation and the suspension of the senior intelligence official responsible.

Senior MPs added to the Government's embarrassment, claiming Britain's enemies no longer needed to hack into Whitehall computers, but simply travel on public transport.

The latest batch of sensitive files include discussions of weaknesses in the way HM Revenue & Customs' computer systems track serious financial fraud, and details of how the international trade and banking systems could be manipulated to finance illicit weapons of mass destruction in Iran.

There were also secret briefing notes ahead of sensitive discussions this week when the international Financial Action Task Force - which coordinates global efforts to tackle money-laundering and terrorist financing - meets in London.

Why don't they just save time and broadcast all the information?

Good News, Ladies: Drink Heavily and You Could Look Like This

Jesus H. Christ. If this isn't enough to get the lushes off the sauce, then it's hopeless.

Women are being warned that binge-drinking will destroy their looks for good.

A new poster campaign launched today on London's Underground depicts a woman with saggy skin and a blotchy nose.

It carries the message: 'If you drink like a man you might end up looking like one.'

The aim is to appeal to women through their vanity by showing they risk bad skin, premature ageing and weight gain if they drink excessively.

On the upside, you could stick primarily with heroin and wind up like this.

The Joys of Socialized Medicine

Poor woman can't get her teeth fixed. And boy, does she need a lot of work.

I'd post the photos, but it's just too hideous.

So Did I Tell You the One About the Muslim Woman Who Went to the All-Female Driving School and Got a Transsexual Instructor?

A totally predictable outcome, of course.

What, you expected tolerance? Granted, I might be a bit unnerved seeing Dick Butkus in a tight skirt myself, but play along.

When a Muslim man contacted an all-female driving school to book a lesson for his learner wife, Emma Sherdley was not the kind of instructor he was expecting.

Although dressed in a skirt, it soon became apparent to the angry husband that his wife's teacher was not "all woman."

In fact, until a few years ago the 42-year-old was a married father-of-two called Andrew.

The transsexual underwent treatment to change sex and now has a "gender recognition certificate" to prove her legal status as a woman.

Unfortunately, that explanation didn't go down well with the angry husband.

His wife ended her two-hour lesson after an hour, claiming she had to go home to breast feed her baby, and her husband phoned the driving school threatening to sue.

He told Joanne Dixon, the owner of the West-Yorkshire based Laugh 'n Pass Driving School: "You have sent me a man, send me a proper female, how dare you send a man with a deep voice."

Laugh 'n Pass Driving School? Interesting name. Anyway, naturally the deeply religious seething man wasn't amused. In fact, this may come as a shock, but he's also paranoid, another common affliction amongst ROPers.

The man, from the Meadowhall district of Sheffield who has not been named, claimed the company deliberately sent a man disguised as a woman because he was Muslim.

Naturally. They're all out to get you, pal.

Miss Dixon said: "His attitude and behaviour was outrageous and has upset me and Emma and everyone else who works here. We are not racist, we are not sexist - if anyone was being so it was that man."

She has backed Emma, claiming no other learners have complained about the experienced driving instructor.

Emma, of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, said his comments were "hurtful, offensive and deeply upsetting" and has made her think of quitting her job.

She said: "I always knew as a child that I was a woman stuck in a man's body. I tried hard to be a man, getting married and having children but it never worked and never would.

"For the past six years I have been what is correctly called "transitioned." I still have to undergo final surgery but legally I am a woman.

Good News: Afghan Hijacker Now Works at Heathrow

Even better news: He and his hijacking cohorts are living on the dole.

One of the nine Afghans who won the right to live in Britain after hijacking a plane is now working at Heathrow airport as a cleaner, it emerged last night.

Nazamuddin Mohammidy was one of a group who took over an internal Afghan flight in 2000 and landed it in the UK, where they threatened to kill those on board unless they were granted asylum.

Now it has emerged Mohammidy, 34, was recently arrested while driving a car around the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport.

Police suspected he was an unlicensed cab driver but were stunned when checks revealed he was one of the hijackers. He even had a British Airways pass on him.

Mohammidy was among the gang, who claimed they were fleeing the Taliban, which took over an Ariana Airlines jet on an internal flight in Afghanistan in February 2000 armed with firearms and hand grenades.

The Boeing 727, with 160 passengers on board, was diverted to Stansted Airport in Essex. There, the hijackers kept police and SAS marksmen at bay for four days before giving themselves up.

All were jailed, but later had their convictions quashed by the Court of Appeal.

They have since been living in West London rent-free and on state benefits at an annual cost of £150,000 to the taxpayer.

The mind boggles.

The Dangers of Spitting Contests

We may have our winner for this month's Darwin Award.

A SWISS man died when he fell from a hotel balcony during a spitting match with a friend, a Swiss newspaper has reported.

The daily Blick said the 29-year-old man took a run-up from inside the room so he could spit further, but lost his balance and plummeted 6.4m to the street below.

He died in hospital.

Oops.

Meanwhile, we thought we had a worthy candidate, but this guy lived.

A young man has been left permanently paralysed from the neck down in the latest "tombstoning" tragedy.

Steven Andrews, 25, says he wished he had died after the drunken stunt in which he jumped 25ft into three feet of water.

Yesterday, his devastated mother warned others against the activity, which has already caused several deaths across Britain.

Now it doesn't take a genius to know if you dive into three feet of water from a 25-foot height, you'll likely have some physical ailments.

If you live, that is.

Forget the Fallout, What About Our Tea?

Good thing Britain hasn't been nuked, so this crisis never came to pass.

Never mind the radiation: British contingency planners worried there would be a dramatic shortage of tea in the aftermath of a nuclear attack, recently declassified documents show.

The shortfall of the staple British beverage would be "very serious" if the country were to come under attack with atomic and hydrogen bombs, said according to a memo drafted between 1954 and 1956.

"The tea position would be very serious with a loss of 75 per cent of stocks and substantial delays in imports and with no system of rationing it would be wrong to consider that even one ounce (28g) per head per week could be ensured," it said.

"No satisfactory solution has yet been found."

Another memo, written in April 1955, warned: "The advent of thermo-nuclear weapons ... has presented us with a new and much more difficult set of food defence problems."

Let's hope they've stockpiled enough in the past 50 years so in the event of any future attack such a dilemma will be averted.

Sanity Prevails: Omar bin Laden Banned From Britain

We recently noted the efforts by the spawn of Osama bin Laden to gain residence in Great Britain. Well, in a rare bout with sanity, officials have told Omar bin Laden he can cancel any plans to lay down roots there.

Oh well. I guess he'll have to become a peace envoy elsewhere.

The son of Osama bin Laden has been banned from entering Britain to live with his new wife because of fears that his presence would cause “considerable public concern”.

Officials have told Omar Ossama bin Laden that there is evidence that he is still loyal to his father, who is held responsible for the deaths of 52 innocent people in the London bombings of July 7, 2005.

Mr bin Laden, 27, is appealing against the refusal to grant him a visa and says that it is wrong to ban him from Britain on the basis of his parentage and inaccurate media reports about his beliefs.

He wants to live in Cheshire with his British wife, Zaina Alsabah bin Laden, 52, formerly known as Jane Felix-Browne. The couple were married in Saudi Arabia last year after a holiday romance but have been living in Egypt while waiting for Mr bin Laden’s visa application to be processed.

His application was refused by an entry clearance officer at the British Embassy in Cairo. The embassy said that the decision had been made on the ground that “exclusion from the United Kingdom is conducive to the public good . . . in the light of the character, conduct or association of the person seeking leave to enter it is undesirable to give him leave to enter”.

The officer added: “I note that statements made during recent media interviews indicate evidence of continuing loyalty to your father, and your presence in the UK could, therefore, cause considerable public concern.”

This piece of garbage knows well what his father has done, yet continues to give mealy-mouthed double-talk when asked about his actions.

Since being thrust into the public spotlight after becoming the first of bin Laden’s children to marry a Westerner, Mr bin Laden has repeatedly condemned the attacks on America and London. He said he could not condemn his father because he had no evidence of his involvement in terrorism.

Mr bin Laden said: “Who can know 100 per cent that my father is behind 9/11 or 7/7? I am not a judge and jury. I do not know if my father is a terrorist or was involved in the attacks.

That statement alone is enough to be banned from the UK.

Smart move.
