  1. Imagine how much this is costing the tax payer they should let him out on
    house arrest for a couple of years and give him a chance to prove he is no
    danger to society if he does anything wrong he should be sent back to
    prison.

  2. meanwhile terrorists have the best ‘human rights’ lawyers, free of charge.
    Killers are given bail to kill again or released early. Judges go against
    the will of the British ppl they’re supposed to serve e.g. Brexit. Where
    are Amnesty International, Liberty on this? nowhere cos he’s not a
    protected victim group. If he converted to Islam inside, maybe he’d get the
    leftists on side, the posh solicitors, out nxt week
