Forget it, Jake. It’s Theresa May’s Insane Britannia. The only people the
British government really gets exercised about and fights to silence or, in
the case of foreigners, ban from the country, are foes of jihad terror.
Jihad preachers have no trouble getting in and staying.

An Islamic hate preacher has won £123,000 in legal aid despite links to a
terror group which murdered 30 British tourists at a Tunisian beach resort.

Hani al-Sibai was granted public money to help him fight deportation even
though he is alleged to be a ‘key influencer’ of the extremist Ansar
al-Sharia movement.

This group is believed to have recruited Seifeddine Rezgui, the gunman who
massacred 38 British and other tourists at Sousse in June 2015.

Al-Sibai, 55, whose three-storey housing association home in West London is
worth £1million, is also said to have radicalised Mohammed Emwazi, the
infamous Islamic State executioner best known as ‘Jihadi John’.

He described the 2005 7/7 terror attacks in London as a ‘great victory’ for
Al Qaeda and hailed Osama Bin Laden as ‘a lion among the lions of Islam’.

The taxpayer-funded payments will horrify families of the British Sousse
victims, who last week heard harrowing evidence of how their loved ones
were gunned down in a 20-minute rampage.

Days after the Tunisia terror attack, the Daily Mail revealed connections
between the atrocity and extremists in the UK.

Al-Sibai arrived in Britain in 1994 and was refused asylum in 1998 because
of his involvement with the Egyptian terror group Islamic Jihad.

He was jailed while the Government tried to deport him, but had to be freed
after less than a year because Egypt failed to provide assurances that he
would not be in danger there.

Human rights laws make it impossible for suspects to be returned to
countries where they might be tortured or killed.

Over two decades he has received £123,000 in legal aid, which paid for
representation by top human-rights lawyers.

Al-Sibai also used public funds to sue the authorities for unlawful
detention. In 2004, the High Court ruled that 14 days of his ten months
behind bars during 1998 and 1999 were not legally justified — the
Government should have let him go as soon as it knew there was no chance of
deporting him.

He received compensation but the Home Office would not disclose the figure
to the Mail. Al-Sibai used public funds yet again to go to the European
Court of Justice and challenge his inclusion on an official list of Al
Qaeda affiliates. He won his case thanks to a series of official blunders,
including not being given a proper chance to defend himself….
