Choudary Gets Life

[brainiac]

Let's hope that's the last we ever hear of him

Probably so they can do the same to Robinson.

I very much doubt it's the last we'll hear of him, unfortunately. He will continually test the patience of the prison staff and i can well imagine him taking the prison service to court on many occasions and for what he sees as infringements on his 'rights'. And, when he does, of course the media will feast on this.

It's just our bad luck that we are not a country that 'disappears' people like him.

13:05. Sometimes Clone, I find it impossible to figure out just how your mind works.

[Sinead_O]

Excellent, nothing less than he deserves.

[Clone]

Possibly because you believe everything you are spoon fed, Mozz.

[naomi24]

Good - and I hope it is for the rest of his life.

 Clone, I  .... like your mind... ( Klute: 1967)

[ yeah OK Jane Fonda as Klute doesnt say, "Clone...." but  near enough I say]

[ToraToraTora]

perhaps we could outsource his custody to Israel.

[youngmafbog]

And now watch the do-gooders lining up to get him out.

But still, on the face of it, a good sentence.

[mushroom25]

the sentencing remarks are an interesting read - 

https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/R-v-Choudary-and-another-Sentencing-Remarks.pdf

in particular in respect of para.7:-

7. There is no Sentencing Council definitive guideline or Court of Appeal sentencing guideline authority for the offence of directing a terrorist organisation. Therefore, I must assess culpability, harm and then the starting point for my sentence with reference to the maximum sentence for the offence (which is life imprisonment), the relevant aims of sentencing (in this case punishment, the protection of the public and the reduction of crime though deterrence) and the Sentencing Council General Guideline: Overarching Principles.

Best news of the day, I hope he rots in there.

[Untitled]

Good news

[tomus42]

Minimum of 28 years inside. I shouldn't think he's got that smirk on his face any more.

I'd imagine it will be appealed though.

[Khandro]

He has taken the British taxpayers for millions of pounds and his family will no doubt continue to contribute nothing & claim every benefit possible.

[youngmafbog]

Pity we couldnt get a nice friendly Russian to open the window on his flat.

[tommy39]

it won't be,because we have thousands more in our prisons,unless he is isolated,he will continue to spout his hatred

[Khandro]

Tommy Robinson was purposely stuck in prison with the Muslim zealots  - you know happened then.

It would be nice if the reverse could happen to Choudary.

[naomi24]

Dream on, Khandro.  He'll rule the roost.

[Blubster]

Pardon me if I do a few cartwheels on this most excellent news. I hope the *** stirrer rots in jail. Hopefully, somebody will knock that smirk off his face by use of a shiv.
