No expense (taxpayers' expense I hasten to add) was spared in bringing former Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed to Britain. A private luxury jet was chartered to bring this individual to our shores, and the cost of the whole exercise was £120,000.
Would it not have been cheaper to put this character into a crate and transport it in the cargo hold of an aircraft?
Now we hear it plans to apply for indefinite leave to stay in OUR country, and will be eligible for benefits costing the taxpayer around £21,600 a year. That is more than our brave troops earn on the frontlines, and certainly more than a British pensioner is allowed! It is more than the annual wages of many people. That money could be better spent on our own people, not former terrorist suspects who decide they are going to infest our country with their parasitic ways. Pensioners are told that they must go blind because it is too expensive to give them the drugs which would help, yet it is not too expensive to bend over backwards for a foreign parasite such as what we have just imported from Cuba.
