And isn't his mother lovely, though she could do with her veil highering.

That is rather unfair Gromit, taking the pi$$ out of an old lady.

At least she is being hospitable to the Daily Mail reporters, more than can be said for some ABers.

What I can't quite understand is the fact that he only allowed to use a fixed land-line from his own home in Wembley, yet he was able to phone his mother in Jordan.

BT must be getting quicker at providing a line to the homes of their customers, especially when they have just been released from jail.

Who said they didn't?

I was referring to Abu Qatada's connection.

Please try and keep up.

I hope you are not suggesting that his mum looks like a fella?
