I only wish my government lived up to half of what Europeans accuse it of. He'll probably be tried, convicted, sentenced to 30 years, sent to the UK which will deport him to Ethopia where he will be freed. He'll go to Pakistan where he'll hobnob with Bin Laden as a terrorist celebrity, the one who got away. In ten years his picture will be on the cover of Time Magazine. I love hearing Euros whine about the price of oil. Be glad you can still get it if you are willing to pay enough for it. It may not be long off when you can't get it anymore at any price.

Surely the West is looking at economic instability unless there is a period of social change? Both the so called progressives (if they exist any longer) and the conservatives seem to be calling the 'business as usual' card - all of which prolongs the pain and ignores the bleeding obvious. Perhaps a Newsnight special is on order, or a Panorama to get this debate out and current with the electorate?

Have I just woken up in a parallel world where random people bashing on keyboards get to decide on asylum cases?

But I'm with mullerman on this. Of course, in a democracy, we'd have a referendum to ascertain whether the people wish to be subject to EU/ UNO/ International law etc. Fri 30 May 2008 20:53:44 GMT+1 thegangofone http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2008/05/friday_30_may_2008.html?page=5#comment4 If hes applied for asylum and we were, presumably, in the process of accepting him then we have responsibilities. I am happy to see that we diligently do that. Even if he was not a citizen there is still international law. If he is an innocent man then its appalling that he is going to be executed.

The Norwegians have stashed $250 billion in a 'Sovereign Fund to allow future generations to draw from, $15 billion a year at present.

Its true that he applied for asylum in the UK some years ago but after that he left the country and travelled to Afghanistan so presumably that application has lapsed.
