They arrest Geert Wilders while letting this happen:

From GatewayPundit:

The UK is paying Osama Bin Laden's ambassador to Europe over £50,000 in annual welfare benefits.

Abu Qatada is wanted on terrorism charges in Algeria, the United States, Belgium, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and his native Jordan. But, in Great Britain, life is good for the Al-Qaeda leader.

That site has a piece of an article about Qatada:

Qatada left Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire after the Appeal Court blocked his deportation to Jordan.

He is now living in an £800,000 four-bedroom Edwardian semi in a tree-lined street in West London.

His incapacity allowance will push the family’s total annual handouts to more than £50,000.

His wife has been claiming £45,000 a year in child benefit, income support, housing benefit and council tax credit for the past four years.

So, if you're al Qaeda, you get tens of thousands of dollars of welfare a year and get to live in a million dollar house, but if you're Geert Wilders, you get arrested.

Unbelievably sad.

Unbelievable. Here I am, an honest patriotic upright citizen, native born, never been in prison, pay all my bills on time, work my a$$ off, and I get grudgingly paid half what this scuzz bucket does for doing nothing but trying to bring my nation to its knees. He gets a £250,000 four bedroom detached in leafy suburbia. I get a crumbling two up two down in the town centre, total value £60,000 (if it can be sold).

Maybe I should pack in Christianity, convert to Islam and become a political activist. It seems to pay better all round.
