The system?? He plead guilty
Court documents from 2015 described them as "close friends". Asked by The Telegraph whether they remained friends, Ms Speitan said: "Yes, it's still the case."
"What was, hasn't changed," she said, adding that she believed he had been "targeted" by "the system".

So thr telegraph is reporting that the key proposer of the Zionism is Racism is motion is friends with an Al-Qaeda terrorist who plotted to bomb Heathrow airport. I would usually be sceptical of the Telegraph but they got quotes from her and um…. archive.ph/2026.10.06-1...
i ne court documents reviewea by ine elegrapn showed Ms Speitan's offer to testify in defence of Pham.
The Vietnam-born terrorist, whose family were granted asylum in the UK in 1989, planned to target travellers returning from Israel or the US in his Heathrow backpack bomb plot.
The attack could have killed "hundreds of people", according to US prosecutors. It was thwarted after an armour-piercing bullet was found in Pham's luggage upon his return, in July 2011, to the UK from Yemen, where he had joined al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
When asked about her relationship with Pham, Ms Speitan first described the question as "insulting" and said it had "no relation to the work that I'm doing".
She described The Telegraph's approach as part of
"mainstream media" attacks that aimed to "demonise"
Palestinians, before suggesting Pham had been wrongfully accused.
On the subject of Pham's 44-year sentence, Ms Speitan replied: "People are demonised for all sorts of things and wrongfully accused of all sorts of things."
She said the questions surrounding her relationship with Pham were a "character assassination".
Minh Quang Pham is serving a decades-long sentence in a US

Anyway, this isn't about the merits of either policy, but about how we as a society view the generations - who is deserving and valued, who is worth protecting, when we demand the state steps in vs when we insist it's a matter of "personal responsibility". Pensioners trump children, every day

I may be one of the few political philosophers to quote Jeffrey Archer in a published paper. It was from a Sunday newspaper feature. He said ‘It’s such a privilege having money. It gives you such freedom too.” (As G.A. Cohen points out: therefore capitalism is a society of unequal freedom.)

This is almost certainly true, and the UK fails women refugees in multiple ways, including by refusing safe routes to come here, wrongly rejecting asylum claims, barring family reunion & not recognising trafficking victims promptly or at all. If only Mahmood had the power to do something about this
