There seems to be no low to which the British government will not stoop in order to appease and accommodate Muslims. As they handed huge sums to this jihadi for his legal aid fees, they were also busy banning people from the country for the crime of opposing jihad terror. Britain is finished.
“Jailed Al-Qaeda chief who ‘had links to 7/7 London bombers’ gets £800,000 in legal aid to appeal his conviction,” by Joe Middleton, Mailonline, February 10, 2019:

The 43-year-old, who was arrested in Pakistan, became the first person in the UK convicted of directing a terrorist organisation.
A freedom of information request has revealed the extremist received £782,407 in legal fees, as reported by The Sun on Sunday.
The fees include £589,667 for a barrister and lawyers, £121,892 for an appeal against a failed conviction in 2011, as well as £60,435 for a civil action.
