Preacher Abu Hamza wins British passport appeal. Un-frigging Believable!

Radical cleric Abu Hamza has won his appeal against the Government's attempts to strip him of his British passport, a special tribunal has ruled.  http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20101105/tuk-preacher-abu-hamza-wins-british-pass-dba1618_1.html

A Downing Street spokeswoman said Prime Minister David Cameron was "disappointed" with the decision but that it would not affect ongoing extradition proceedings.

The hate preacher argued that such a move would render him "stateless" as he had already been stripped of his Egyptian citizenship.

Delivering its 12-page ruling, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission allowed his appeal.

In his ruling, Mr Justice Mitting said: "We are satisfied on balance of probabilities that if a deprivation order were to be made, the appellant (Hamza) would be made stateless.

"Accordingly, this appeal is allowed."
