WELCOME HOME TO THE UK MOOHAMED
Yeah. No foolin’ folks. That’s how a radio news reader last night referred to the story.
The Guantanamo prisoner was ”returned home” to the UK.
That’s an outrage because this country IS NOT HIS HOME! It NEVER was his home and he surely had not intended it to be his home.
So anyway ... this cartoonist has been blasting away at the USA and Bush and Gitmo and anything else American he can think of where we get things wrong. Which in his view is almost everything.
He is talented, I have enjoyed some of his cartoons but not very fond overall, of him. But hell. Who am I?
Thought this sort of thing should be shared with you. Why should I be the only one frustrated?
And once again, the media is referring to the UK as this bastard’s “HOME.”
Ya think maybe they are preparing the Brit public for something?
Now Dig This friends and neighbors.
Freed Guantanamo prisoner returns to Britain on a luxury jet... and prepares to claim thousands in benefits
By Sam Greenhill, Dan Newling and Ian Drury

THE DAILY MAILA British resident back home after more than four years in Guantanamo Bay could now claim thousands of pounds in benefits if he is allowed to stay in the UK.
Binyam Mohamed, who flew back from the controversial camp in Cuba yesterday, is almost certain to be given permission to remain here permanently.
This would make him eligible for State benefits, and he could even apply for legal aid to fund a multi-million-pound compensation claim against the Government.
Ehiopian-born Mohamed, 30, first arrived in the UK in 1994, aged 16, and was refused asylum but in 2000 he was granted leave to remain until 2004.
By this time, he was already incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay.
After more than four years in the prison camp, he landed back in Britain yesterday vowing to expose Whitehall ‘collusion’ in his torture.
He was flown back on a luxury Gulfstream jet accompanied by two Foreign Office officials, two Metropolitan police officers and a doctor.
The Foreign Office and Home Office jointly paid for the trip, which is estimated to have cost as much as £160,000.
A Foreign Office spokesman refused to comment on the figure today. He said: ‘The overall cost of the operation is not yet known.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
