For once I feel sorry for Teresa May. I usually loathe the worthless Tory bitch, but over the Abu Hamza deportation fiasco, I have to side with her and her predecessors. I am a firm supporter of immigration, which I see as enriching our society, but however you look at it, Hamza is a nut. He is a religious loon apparently intent on blowing us all to kingdom come: the further he is from us, the better. The danger, of course, is that this plays straight into the hands of the far right, who will now use this to tar every Muslim immigrant, and indeed all immigrants, with the same narrow-minded brush. Moreover, I do also agree that human rights must be sacrosanct – even those of religious nutters. The moment we start to ignore human rights, we lose something very important indeed. Thus, hamza may be a dangerous loon whose presence here puts us all at risk, but I understand why the decision was made yesterday to allow him to stay. I just hope we don’t all come to regret it.
