Britain places advert in newsagent window offering Abu Hamza ‘free to a good-ish home’
After jailed radical Muslim preacher Abu Hamza won his appeal against a government bid to strip him of his British passport - as the move would make him stateless - the UK has placed several adverts offering him free to a good-ish home.

Egyptian-born Hamza, who has one eye and a hook for one hand, was jailed in Britain for seven years in 2007 for inciting followers to murder non-believers, and is fighting extradition to the United States - but will now retain his British citizenship until someone agrees to take him off our hands.

A government spokesperson explained, “We’ve been told that we can’t leave him ’stateless’ by taking away his passport, so we’re going to need to find him a new home. We’ve placed a few ads and we’re quietly hopeful.”

“I want to make something clear to interested parties, it’s not that we don’t want him, it’s just that we have more than enough radicalised Muslims already, and so we can’t give him the care and attention he obviously needs.”

2. Fight to the death! Hook-handed veteran mujahadeen v. 76 year old who leg presses a ton!
(or so he claims: http://www.getreligion.org/2006/06/pat-robertson-can-lift-a-ton-no-really/ )

We could sell tickets. Or put it on pay-pre-view. "Lost: The God Fight" or something.
