"*"Abu Qatada" Is that what this thread is about?"*

I thought it was about the Home Secretary (or her dept) being unable to count the days in a month properly, seemingly because it was a Leap Year.

And we trust these people to rule us! Give me strength.

I believe the wording states that the 3 months period begins after the day of judgement not on the day of judgement!

al's left peg. That is exactly how most of us feel but when you sign up to an agreement you sign up to an agreement. Full stop.

What annoys me is that other countries ignore the fact that they have signed something and do just what they like. So why shouldn't we?

We must surely rename it to the European Court of Terrorist Rights.

Ms May could simply have waited 24hrs & avoided the resulting uproar.She(or her advisors)chose not to & now we're lumbered with this man for goodness knows how much longer.His lawyers are treading on thin ice,why wait until the last possible moment to appeal?Particularly,as was stated many times in the media he hasn't a hope in hell of an appeal even being allowed.As our FE regularly says "dancing on the head of a pin"

If (as stated above)Ms May is trying to show the court in a bad light,why not instead simply ignore the courts ruling and boot him out the country?The fine would be less than the combined wages of all those arguing for/against his deportation.
