I know what my feelings are. It depends if the defence deals with the fact that you want as many innocent people dead even if you have never even met theses people as is this case. If I find any of my relatives are dead in the London attacks I vow to buy a gun and travel to his destination and introduce him to my own version of British hospitality. This guy and his supporters do not deserve life as they do not understand what it means to live with the human race. Their hatred seems to be wearing off on me. Live by the hook ,die by the hook.

Somehow, he got onto that list in the first place, right? So: Either he got put there by the UK - in which case, the Government has a procedural mechanism by which they can deny legal aid to individuals... Or he was put there by someone else's government - which means that other governments have a means to silence individuals' rights through the judicious and careful abuse of UK government policy. Does this guy have a right to defend himself? If not, why not? Not sure how I feel on this. Somehow, he got onto that list in the first place, right?

Or he was put there by someone else’s government - which means that other governments have a means to silence individuals’ rights through the judicious and careful abuse of UK government policy.

Does this guy have a right to defend himself? If not, why not?
