Glory to terrorism (2)

I can see the reasons for it, but it seems a pity that only Abu Hamza is locked up while Nick Griffin goes free. Poetically, a bit of Huis Clos would be the answer - in adjoining cells, but with a grill for them to shout at each other through. Practically, and taking into account our abusive prison system, it would be better if each had to suffer some alternative punishment, like being incarcerated every morning with one hundred pages of text chosen by the other, and then having to correctly answer a fifty question comprehension test set by Chris Woodhead and Ruth Kelly before they were allowed out for their dinner (this would keep the four of them busy for a long time).
It is definitely wrong that Hamza should be extradited to the United States. No British citizen should suffer this until the US acknowledges and submits to international law.
My opinion of the British Government is so exceedingly low that I had meant not to post about it again, or at least not until the next election. Little can come from damning the so thoroughly condemned. But they really do ask for it. The Guardian reports “that ministers may use the convictions to try to reintroduce proposals outlawing the glorification of terrorism”.
They’re out of their tiny minds. This guy was “jailed for seven years on six incitement to murder charges and lesser sentences on charges of threatening behaviour with intent to stir up racial hatred and of possession of a document, the Encyclopedia of the Afghani Jihad, which was "useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".”
How, even if you have the significantly below average number of brain cells allocated to a New Labour Minister, can the fact that he was convicted on so many charges argue for the introduction of another one?
The minister reportedly making the suggestion was none other than the new, shiny and freshly cloned Blairite (rather than the old and shopsoiled Maestro of PFI, or buy now and let our children pay cripplingly and exorbitantly for schools and hospitals when we are history) Gordon Brown.
So, before they do introduce the legislation for the New Labour blobs to vote through, let's hear it one more time:

Glory to terrorism,
Glory to Bush,
Glory to terrorism,
Glory to Mugabe,
Glory to terrorism,
Glory to Blair,
Glory to terrorism,
Glory to Karimov,
Glory to terrorism,
Glory to (the defence minister, can’t remember his name)
Glory to terrorism,
Glory to Sharon,
Glory to terrorism,
Glory to Mountford (representative blob New Labour MP who voted for the war, you won’t have heard of her.)
Glory to terrorism,
Glory to LT. Gen. Umar Hasan Ahmad al-Bashir,
&c

It should not be necessary to point out that the above chant does not represent my views, quite.
(Oh and, my goodness, I forgot old bin Laden. Sorry, Osama, you belong there at the top, between Bush'n'Blair)
