HUMAN RIGHTS GONE RIDICULOUS

So a convicted killer cannot be deported out of sensibilities towards his 'Human Rights' and stabbings and shootings are becoming so common in our cities that it is no longer shocking.

A procession of Government ministers line up on our screens to tell us 'something must be done' and that we 'need more laws'.After the grotesque ruling in favour of the murderer of headmaster Philip Lawrence, allowing him to remain in the UK so as not to breach his 'human rights', we even had the ludicrous 'Justice Secretary' Jack Straw berating the role of the Human Rights Act in the ruling.

Could this be the very same Jack Straw who introduced the Human Rights Act whilst Home Secretary?

They can use all the spin and tough talk they like, but it will not hide the fact that they have created the monster and are unable to slay it, having simultaneously tied their hands behind their back with the Human Rights Act.

The time has come to scrap this Human Rights Act that has become a criminals' charter and a licence for lawyers to print money.

LEARCO Chindamo is the young thug who was jailed for murdering headmaster Stephen Lawrence in 1995 and who is up for parole after serving a 12 year sentence for the murder. He is of Italian origin and holds an Italian passport.

Only last month, Gordon Brown told the British people in no uncertain terms that foreign criminals held in British prisons would be deported on completion of their sentences.

He told one hell of a porkie.

Because Judge Henry Hodge (husband of Culture Minister Margaret Hodge), who headed the tribunal looking into the deportation case, has decreed that Mr Chindamo will not in fact be deported if his parole application is successful, because his 'Human Rights' would be violated if he were.

The truth of the matter, however, is that it isn't the Human Rights Act which precludes Chindamo's deportation, but EU Directive 2004/58/EC, which guarantees 'the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States'.

This EU law takes precedence over the Human Rights Act in British Law. It does not class Chindamo as an Italian, but as a European citizen who cannot be deported within the EU. This makes a total farce of British immigration and criminal law, as it makes clear that the EU has ultimate control over who can and cannot be allowed to remain in Britain.

There is overwhelming national revulsion at the prospect of this young Italian being released back into British society and rehabilitated at British tax-payers' expense. Increasingly, as more and more criminals of foreign origin are released back on to the streets of Britain it will become obvious that our elected government has no power to do a single thing about it!

Except - withdraw from the European Union and claim back control of our own borders, our own legal system, our own country, our own neighbourhoods and ultimately our own lives.
