There’s British and there’s British

Are we jumping for joy that Shaker Aamer is being released from preventive detention at Guantanamo Bay? Are we thrilled by the Daily Mail’s attempt to wrap our flag around a guy from Saudia Arabia, home of some of the world’s worst terrorists and their backers? Are we overjoyed that our government will spend millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on watching Aamer until he’s no longer deemed a threat? Are we happy about Aamer getting a million pounds of taxpayers’ money to keep him out of court to stop him embarrassing the CIA? No effin’ way.
