ANJEM Choudary entered his bail hostel last night with a bag emblazoned with what Britain thinks: “You take the biscuit.”
The freed hate preacher, 51, had smirked there earlier in the day as he posed for pictures on his release from jail.
Choudary served less than half his 5½-year sentence for encouraging support for IS.
The extremist, who helped to inspire the London Bridge attackers and Lee Rigby’s killers, had been transferred 270 miles between top security prisons — from Frankland in Durham to the capital’s Belmarsh — ahead of his release.
At 4am a convoy of cars with heavily-tinted windows swept out of the jail as cops escorted him at speed to the North London hostel.
He will remain there for the coming weeks but was allowed to leave at 5pm by himself and got into a Vauxhall Zafira people carrier.
The radical cleric, from Ilford in East London, sat next to a woman wearing a burka in the back seat.
There was also a hooded person in the passenger seat and a white male driver.
Choudary returned in the same car shortly after 9pm, carrying bread and milk in the Aldi bag with the slogan.
But he refused to answer questions while walking down the road to the door — as a member of the public shouted: “F** Isis.”
PREACHER OF HATE: How Choudary became the face of radical Islam in the UK

Choudary has been one of the most high-profile faces of radical Islam in Britain for years, leading groups under names including al-Muhajiroun, Islam4UK and Muslims Against Crusades.
Several people who attended Choudary's rallies and events have been convicted of violent attacks, including the pair of al-Qaida-inspired killers who ran over British soldier Lee Rigby and stabbed him to death in 2013.
Until he was charged under the Terrorism Act, the firebrand preacher gained attention for headline-grabbing activities that provoked outrage but stayed on the right side of the law.
They included protesting outside the US Embassy on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks and burning memorial poppies on the annual Remembrance Day honoring slain service members.
But he ran into trouble in 2014 after his name appeared on an oath circulating online that declared the legitimacy of the "proclaimed Islamic Caliphate State."
Choudary said the oath was made without his knowledge.
The judge who sent him to prison in 2016, Mr Justice Holroyde, told him at the Old Bailey: "You show no remorse at all for anything you have said or done and I have no doubt you will continue to communicate your message whenever you can."
Worried parents at a school next door earlier said they were upset Choudary had been moved in.
One said: “It’s hard to explain to my kids what all the fuss is about outside their school gate.
“How can you tell them someone like him is living next door?”
And within hours of his arrival, ex-cons staying there were already begging to be moved elsewhere because of the fanatic’s presence.
Hate posted on Facebook
A TERROR preacher arrested after the 9/11 attacks posted scores of sick vids celebrating IS on Facebook after the media giant repeatedly reinstated his account.
Abdulrahman Alcharbati, 32, of Benwell, Newcastle, was convicted of sharing the material after beating a 2016 ban by complaining. He will be sentenced in December.
WATCHING CHOUDARY: Protecting the public from terror
Police and probation services are equipped to manage Anjem Choudary following his release from prison, Theresa May said yesterday.
The Prime Minister said authorities have a range of powers to supervise the preacher in the community.
Choudary was convicted of inviting support for Islamic State, also known as Daesh.
Asked about the case at a press conference in Brussels yesterday, Mrs May said: "On the question of Anjem Choudary, obviously he's an extremist preacher.
"He pledged his allegiance to Daesh. He was convicted of inviting support for them."
She added: "If and when any terrorist offender is released, well-rehearsed plans are put in place to keep the public safe.
"The police, the prison, the probation service and other agencies have a range of powers available to them.
"They also have significant experience in dealing with such offenders.
"This includes the setting of strict licence conditions, such as restrictions on movement and internet access and stringent curfews, the breach of which could result in immediate recall to prison."
The measures are expected to include:
- Electronic tagging
- A night-time curfew
- Requirements to stay within a set area and only attend pre-approved mosques
- A ban on contacting individuals who he knows or believes to have been charged with or convicted of extremist-related offences without prior approval
- Restrictions relating to internet use and mobile device ownership
One told The Sun: “Everyone is trying to get through their bail conditions after prison.
“We’re worried his fans will make some sort of pilgrimage to the hostel and then the anti-terror protesters will come too and it will get nasty.”
Choudary, freed early because of time served before his conviction, will face strict conditions including a night-time curfew.
He is expected to wear an electronic tag and be barred from contacting anyone who has been charged with extremism offences.
Policing his bail conditions by MI5 and cops is expected to cost taxpayers £2million.
Cons in the bail hostel, who share bathrooms and kitchens during the day, are locked up each night. But they are let out during the day for work, shopping and family visits.
