Oh dear. More doodling from the house idiot.Laws protect all of us not just "the guilty".The laws that protect the guilty also protect us. You cant pick and choose who will be protected under the law.How do you work that out when violent criminals are being given their freedom under the EU human rights laws. Unless you are a coloured gay mass murderer you have no human rights in this country
Actually ... I believe I'm right in saying that 'a right to a family life' is considered a human right the EU courts have considerable respect for. And ... they even apply that to terrorists, fighting extradition proceedings, from which they can expect justice. Have a terrorist argue that his right to family life will be ruined thanks to successful extradition, and EVEN the TERRORIST will receive a judgement in his favour ...
Thats pretty fundamental.
How's this for a self-defeating argument ??
Laws protecting 'the guilty', are surely bad laws, and those who implement them are complicit in the consequences.
The solution is one of reform, to make that phenomenon as unlikely to happen as possible. I'm fully behind that .. aren't you ?
See a terrorist given the chance to settle in the UK because of one such bad law. That individual is a permanent threat to the innocent. Very possibly a deadly one. This, Tommy, CANNOT be acceptable.
The point of laws is to protect people, to serve their interests ... not to facilitate an enhanced chance of harm !!!!
I can see that sometimes this is frustrating but it is a necessary state of affairs.
As an example the government got worked up because they couldnt deport a suspected terrorist.
Why ?
Because we dont deport people to countries that practice torture.
I dont believe that anybody could argue against that law.It is a good law that protects all of us and discourages states from using torture.
Of course some bad people will also be protected by this law but thats just the way it has to be.
I wouldnt like to be tortured would you ?
Which should not matter if that person has committed a crime in this country. Far too many know they will get away with their criminal activities under the ECHR rulings, this is why France and Germany have a policy of deportation at point of crime, and then the criminals have to pay for their own appeals. Very few appeals in mainland European nations, but the Labour champagne socialists gave away our rights to do the same thing
What you ignore is that hundreds of thousands of people in this country are being tortured by the very people you are defending and supporting every day. But that is alright in your eyes as they are not being tortured in return, instead they are mollycoddled and lauded as princes and saints.
These laws protect you from the state. Even you.
