Waving A Careful Adieu To Abu Hamza

A MIXED reception at Anorak Towers to the news that hook-handed, one –eyed Abu Hamza is “moving a step closer to the departure lounge for Extradition Airways” (Indy).

Hamza is the “ranting hook-handed preacher of hate” the Express hears being told he should stand trial in the US.

Hamza is to face 11 charges in the US, says the Express. It’s nine, says the Mirror. Nine, says the Sun. Eleven, says the Mail.

Bingo, says the Sun. It’s a “triumph for common sense”.

“Hook off and don’t come back,” says the Star’s headline.

And many will feel it right that he should go. But others will be uncertain.

With Hamza gone, who will be the gurning face of Britain’s Islamic lunatic fringe?

And who will inspire the tabloids to such dizzying heights as evidenced in the Daily Sport’s: “HAMZA CROSS THE WATER”?
