Now he has leave to sue us...the taxpayer!

Abdel Hakim Belhadj

According to the mainstream media one of the leaders of the rebel Libyan army is about to sue us, the British Taxpayer, because MI6 colluded with the Gadaffi regime and as a result he was the victim of torture. If he wins his case the guess is that he will receive one million pounds from us the hard pressed taxpayer!

Have we gone mad? What further nonsense will we tolerate from our politicians before we realise that they are actually taking the mick? Typically the politicians who were in office at the time, in this case 'slippery' Jack Straw knew NOTHING about the maschinations of MI6 even though at the time he was responsible for their activities!

I sometimes wonder who was running the country during the years of the New Labour administration because frequently those in office give the appearance of the three wise monkeys, hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. Time after time events conspire to prove that most of them were up to their armpits in sleaze which of course the blogosphere has been reporting ad nauseum.

If Mr Belhadj was tortured (and it doesn't seem to have stopped his momentum too much) and if MI6 was involved then he should sue the person in charge because most of us taxpayers had nothing to do with it! It is high time that some of these NoLab politicians were put in the dock under oath and charged with crimes relating to ruining the country.
