Petition against Legal Aid Agency funding terrorists
Anjem Choudary jailed for five-and-a-half years for urging support of Isis The terrorist has already claimed substantial benefits from the British since arriving in England some 20 years ago. He has lived off the state for 20 years, claiming up to £500,000 in benefits A legal aid bill of £100,000 was claimed for representation in his acts of terrorism
Choudary trained as a lawyer and described himself as a student of Omar Bakri Mohammed, an extremist who fled Britain in 2005. He was a key figure in al-Muhajiroun, which was banned under terrorism legislation and relaunched itself as al-Ghurabaa, only to be banned again. Successor groups were also banned, including Islam4UK and Muslims Against Crusades. Choudary’s barrister, Mark Summers QC, said his client regretted breaking the law. Summers urged the judge, Mr Justice Holroyde, not to sentence Choudary on the basis of his 20 years of notoriety, or over claims that he had indoctrinated “a generation of people to commit direct acts of terrorism”. He said: “Mr Choudary has done his best to stay within the law, acting on the boundaries of it maybe, but determined to stay within the law.”
Now the legal aid agency, which refuses support for British families and many British people who face civil actions funded by the Police and other government organisations, and even criminal charges has granted a whopping £250,000 in legal aid to fight deportation. A terrorist described as the "very model of a modern Al Qaeda terrorist" has won £250,000 in legal aid to fight deportation. The extremist was caught with manuals on attacking nightclubs and airports, but has reportedly been given taxpayer funds to try to stay in the country.
Is the legal aid agency funding terrorism?

Sign the petition if you think that terrorists should be deported and denied state funding, which assists these terrorists in committing or instigating further attacks.
