He's going to cost, according to The Russel Webster website somewhere between £40k and £92k for each of those 28 years

You may be happy to pay that

I think there's far better things to spend our money on

B&Q rope costs about £20 now

Shame, he can't be left with a bottle of scotch and a pistol. If he went voluntarily to meet his 72 virgins, it might lessen the chance of his incarceration being the cause of inciting further violence...

Anjem Choudary: Radical preacher jailed for life - BBC News

Anjem Choudary, the leader of the banned terror group al-Muhajiroun, has been jailed for life and may never leave prison alive.
He was found guilty of directing the group and encouraging support for it through online meetings.
The sentence means that Choudary cannot seek to leave jail on licence until he is more than 85 years old.
Choudary appeared shocked and rocked on his feet in the dock as he was given a minimum term of 28 years at Woolwich Crown Court.
The extremist preacher was convicted last week of directing a terror organisation after a complex operation involving detectives and investigators in the US, Canada and the UK.
Mr Justice Wall said Choudary's group was a radical organisation that intended to spread sharia law, by violent means, to as much of the world as possible.
Choudary, one of the most notorious radicalisers in the UK, was caught after an international undercover investigation proved that the long-banned al-Muhajiroun network that he headed was still operating in 2021 - and trying to recruit new followers under a false name in North America.
