anwar, will they jail him? he should have been jailed a long time ago for racism!

[sandyg2244]

Its about time this nasty racist, hate-filled 'lawyer' got a taste of his own medicine.for too long he has been in the public arena spouting his hatred , and getting away with it.politicians seem to be scared of him and fail to see the contempt on his face.he seems to forget his law degree was paid for by the citizens of this country who welcomed his parents and grandparents many years ago.I would be willing to put together a fund to pay for his plane fare back to his ancestral home if he doesnt like our views or way of life!

Aamer Anwar a human rights lawer.
Has he been arrested?
Have charges been brought against him?

After reading the link, not sure what all the fuss is about.
His views are controversial, but so are a lot of peoples.

[sandyg2244]

last week he stood outside a court when a scottish-born muslim fanatic got jailed on terrorism charges.he basically insulted the judicial system in public, the one he claims to belong to.now they are after him, contempt of court etc,hope its not just lip service and they get rid of this nasty piece of work.a few less homegrown terrorists might not exist because he gets jailed!hope so!

If Donald Findlay QC had made the same comments after one of his clients had been found guilty, I don't think there would have been a mad rush to charge him with contempt of court.
Now, he is someone who courts controversy.

This is the most recent info I could find. (cant post a link as I seem to have lost that ability) this was in the Herald

"After two weeks of deliberation over whether contempt of court had been committed, the judge today passed the decision to the High Court in Edinburgh.
Lord Carloway said a panel of three judges could eventually be convened to make a final ruling"

Doesn't sound as if the judicial system is too anxious to come to a decision about whether they should or shouldn't criticize a member of their own.

sandyg2244 . I think you are going to be disappointed if you hoped execution and deportation is going to be the answer, looks more likely a rap over the knuckles if anything

Wow!

Lock up people for racism. Do we have enough room in our jails?

Between the BNP supporters, Conservative shire councillors and residents of Dagenham and Barking, we'd be overflowing within minutes.

and if they locked up people for being hate-filled, AB's News section would be empty...

[China Doll]

I was just about to say the same thing jno.

[EricaNurney]

do you not think your views are a bit racist then sandy? sending someone to a country they werent born in just because thats where their ancestors came from and it suits the colour of their skin? not saying he's right but your views in that respect arent either

[sp1814]

You know...I didn't read Sandy's question properly.

It's only when I read EricaNurney's post, that it dawned on me what you were saying.

The thrust seems to be, if you don't like it here, even if you were born here, you can get out.

Furthermore, you assume that it was your hard-earned taxes that paid for this chap to go to law school.

Do you think on some level, you're being a bit naive.

Lastly, how the hell do you spell niave/naive?

[Booldawg]

SP1814 has already overflowed our prisons with white racists. Just as well non-caucasians are 'culturally aware' rather than racist - we'd be in serious problems then!

What did he do? - He complained the he didn't think his client got a fair trial. He later apologised. The judge, Lord Carloway said the remarks made by Mr Anwar were his personal views. He was exercising his right to freedom of speech.

You may not like Mr Anwar and what he says, but if he is convicted of contempt of court which I doubt he will be, then it is hardly a deportation offense. National newspapers are rapped for contempted of court all the time and you do not hear calls for their Editors to be put on a plane to their ancestral home.

Without freedom of speech we would be no better than the dictatorships of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait.

Do you really want us to end up like a fundamentalist Arab state?

[jno]

this is all rather weird. Any lawyer who handles an appeal is saying, in effect, that the original trial was unfair. Appeals are part of the judicial system; they can hardly be said to undermine it. I wonder why on earth this man was picked out?

[sp1814]

Booldawg

Eh?

Are you referring to the famous white supremacy party?

[cambus]

sp, its naive.
Remember it for your next post. :)

[sp1814]

cambus.

Many thanks...it's a word that I've had to use more than a few times on threads concerning immigrants/asylum seekers/immigrant criminals/asylum seeker criminals...etc etc (perm any one from three).

[sandyg2244]

what a bunch of ignorant ***** commenting on things you havent even researched.i didnt want teenagers commenting on my post, or any substandard adults either with the mind of a ten year old.go get a life.when we get our next terrorrist bombing i hope its not your mum, granny, uncle who is a victim next.you do know youre defending a terrorist-sympathiser/procurer

[cambus]

What did you expect?
You're the one that hasn't done any research.
You posted 3 questions about him, which are all rants.
He didn't think his client had a fair trial, and said so.
You now want him deported to his "ancestral home" wherever that is.
Having misjudged the mood on here, you're now off on another rant.
Scots are usually noted for their common sense, but its deserted you on this one.
