Technical Clearance

Paddington Green Let Another One Go

North Staffordshire NHS Trust doctor, Dr Asha was arrested on suspected terrorism was cleared on a technicality showing us all again that the police can't do their job according to the book. The conviction was unsafe. The BBC have the story here.

His friends were found guilty . The Sentinel reports it here.

Now Mr Innocent can go back to North Staffordshire NHS Trust and work in their neurology department and none of us will wonder about the nature of his involvement. Mind you, having friends who are bombers is quite a feat for anyone. Perhaps he has a poor judgment of character or a poor judgment of what is considered extremist material.

"Detective Constable Ian MacAndrew, from the Midlands Counter Terrorism Command, was one of the officers who searched Asha's home in Sunningdale Grove, Chesterton, near Newcastle, after his arrest on June 30 last year.

The court was told a translation of one of the Arabic documents said:

"Tomorrow, the story of its heroes will be reported. When they defend the Koran, they defended people's honour. A story will be told by Muslim people. I do not blame the killers. I am against America, even if it turns this life into paradise. I am with Osama, whatever his destination."

Well, the GMC won't mind, they don't mind BNP members either. So, I hope the public know that Asha is coming to a hospital near you. Perhaps he should be a spokesman for the wonderful NHS he always talks about. We just won't talk about the NHS death rate in the UK then.
