Anjem Choudary...

Anjem Choudary is leaving prison today, having served half of the five-and-a-half-year sentence he received in 2016. He’s a thoroughly nasty piece of work: pledging allegiance - and recruiting impressionable young people - to ISIS, promoting Sharia law for the UK, preparing for a time when we’ll all be living under strict Islamic rule, and spouting hateful nonsense at anyone who’d listen. In times past he was featured on news and current affairs programmes - presumably to act as BBC ‘balance’ to the more rational participants - but I hope we’ve learned our lesson. We should never again give him a platform to air his repellent views.
