It's probably a temporary aberration sadly...

However whilst we should rejoice at this news, let's not assume this despicable man is going anywhere soon.

I hope it is temporary tbh, there are british hostages overseas that have been threatened with execution if he goes to Jordan I think we should find them and get him back before he goes anywhere.

Home Secretary Theresa May said: "It has always been the government's intention that the Qatada case should be heard in the British courts, so I am pleased by the European Court's decision today.

"I remain confident that the assurances I have secured from the Jordanian Government mean we will be able to put Qatada on a plane and get him out of Britain for good.

"His case will now go through the British courts, and in the meantime, because of the action taken by the government, Qatada remains behind bars."

If what the British courts have been dishing out lately. I seems like he could be staying?

Hope not

Yes that's concerning of course but if his fanatic supporters want to kill innocent Brits they don't need hostages to do it and even if we got them all home safe there'd be no way to prevent more being taken.

No that's all true but imo we should just stall them a bit until we find him, when you consider what Qatada being here has already cost us in cold, hard cash a bit more won't hurt.

Updated title

However the panel ruled his application was made in time

Looks like they scraped past by the skin of their teeth. I wonder if someone will be getting a kicking at the home office for not getting the timings right.

Wouldn't surprise me if Qatada's wife was employed by the Home Office....

Judge rules Abu Qatada will not be deported

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20295754

Muslim cleric Abu Qatada will not be deported to Jordan, after he won his appeal at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac).

The appeal was upheld after his lawyers claimed he would not get a fair trial in Jordan.

The government said it would seek to appeal against the ruling.

Looks like this threads title will need re-updating.

I was thinking 'Rejection of Abu Qatada's deportation appeal REJECTED'

[Osem]

I was thinking "will of the vast majority of the general public rejected"...

And now we hear that Abu Qatada will be released on bail tomorrow says Home Secretary Theresa May.

Pathetic.
