#10  Today's New York Daily News headline: "Hooked" with a large, unflattering picture of Hamza. You gotta love a good tabloid.

#6  Ah, thanks ed. Though they looked like an uglier bunch than your usual prison mob. 'Builders and plumbers' - that explains it!

Wonder what was on the sheet's other side: "Show us yer tits!"?!

#4  I believe Belmarsh has a shark-infested moat around it / also the surrounding environs (Woolwich -postmodern industrial desert a la Mad Max films) are possibly more dangerous than life inside.

#3  Howard - I was a bit surprised to see the prison has a balcony, and that apparently the prisoners have free run of it (or are they guards?!. Do you think the sheet was knotted to the rail after the photo for a quick shimmy to freedom?). Of course, next thing you know, it'll be Hamza himself photo'd on the balcony, preaching to a mass of prison roughnecks, new converts to Islam...
