Quote:this country needs to grow some balls and tear up the human rights bill and the eec court of appeal and send all these terrorists back to the countries wanting to try them for convictions and start building some 6ft by 6ft cells for prisoners with nothing in them exept straw for bedding and lock em up for 23.5 hours a day,it would save the country billions a year to build hospitals and lets face it -if you done a year or two locked up like that ,would you want to re offend as soon as you were released ?
What a load of bollocks. The human rights act is a simple and fantastic piece of legislation, however interpretation and implementation of that act has not always been perfect. I think those who rant about human rights legislation seem to forget our recent history and our long struggle for a just society.
As for certain cases relating to alleged terrorists living in the UK, whom we are told are apparently a threat to the UK, I agree the UK needs to grow balls. If these people have committed crimes in our country, if they are indeed a threat to this country, then they should be tried in this country. It's about time the UK stopped trying to export justice to dodgy dictator lead states with no or barely functioning legal systems. Yes there are people taking the piss out of the UK becuase the UK does not have the balls to do what it should be doing. It's shameful.

Look don't kid yourself. This story is of little consequence, but I'm sure certain politicans and newspapers will try and use it to draw out attention from the real issues that are effecting our economy and effecting us all. If you wanna start building homes, schools, hospitals, invest in infrastructure and get this country working again, then we need to go after the tax dodgers, tighten up the tax laws on buisiness and make sure everybody is paying their share as well as replacing the minimum wage with a living wage. That's why we are getting shafted, that's where the real money is, but hey as long as people are dumb enougth to get distracted by rants about votes for prisoners and benefits cheats etc etc, well nothing will change and we'll just get shafted more and more.
Doh!
