This is above and beyond the monthly per-wife handouts they give to thousands of polygamists throughout the country, polygamy having come back into fashion for the first time since it was banned in 1604.

* 120,000 pounds to fly an AQ terrorist into the UK on a luxury jet. The British government took a look at him and said "letting him settle in the UK is pretty good - but giving him 21,600 pounds a year for as long as he wants is even better!" That's 5,000 more per year than they give to the British soldiers who are fighting this cretin's friends back in Afghanistan:

A former Al Qaeda suspect was flown back to Britain on a luxury jet yesterday - at Government expense. Now taxpayers face a massive bill for his new life on benefits. Alleged torture victim Binyam Mohamed, 30, stepped off a twin-engined Gulfstream at an RAF base after more than six years as a US prisoner being held in Guantanamo Bay. Accompanied on the flight by two Foreign Office officials, two Metropolitan Police officers and a doctor, Ethiopian Mohamed's return to his adopted country cost an amazing £120,000. Last night, he was preparing to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK and receive a possible £21,600-a-year in benefits and allowances. That's around £5,000 more than earned by a frontline British soldier risking his life to fight Mohamed's alleged Taliban associates in Afghanistan.

* 2,000 pounds per government official to hear a lecture on tolerance by hate cleric Ibrahim Moussawi:

Government officials will spend thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money to attend a lecture by an Islamic extremist whom Jacqui Smith is under pressure to ban from Britain. Yesterday, the Mail revealed how the Home Secretary was facing demands to deny a visa to Ibrahim Moussawi - a spokesman for the Lebanese terrorist organisation Hezbollah - to come to speak at a British university. Now it has emerged that the lectures Moussawi plans to deliver are targeted at Whitehall officials who deal in foreign affairs and extremism. They will each spend up to £1,890 of taxpayers' cash attending the Political Islam event at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) next month.

* 200,000 pounds in licensing fees to suppress the Balen report documenting the BBC's anti-Israel bias:

A campaigner trying to force the BBC to publish an internal report on alleged bias in its Middle East coverage won the latest round of a legal battle yesterday. The Law Lords held by a 3-2 majority that a case brought by London lawyer Steven Sugar under the Freedom of Information Act was wrongly blocked by legal rulings at earlier hearings. The BBC is understood to have spent £200,000 on the case which has been through the Information Tribunal, the High Court and the Court of Appeal.
