The King of Jordan is not stupid. There is good reason to suppose he will be significantly more uncomfortable and confined there than he was in the UK. Unless, of course, some of his colleagues take violent action to spring him.

Prime Minister David Cameron was taking a lot of political heat over this issue because there was no place to deport the guy.

Real conservatives like the UKIP which has polled high recently and made gains in local elections have put political pressure on the CINO government to take action.

Cameron is trying to put up a tough conservative image with promises of an EU referendum and so on to win the next elecion.

In America, these fine folks are called friends. They can live here as they are often allowed to have free US government paid flying lessons to bomb and destroy America. Why hasn't 0bama granted him asylum?
