Human Rights And Wrongs
Following on from yesterday's EURSOC post on how Britain seems to be the only country in the EU that applies European legislation in its entirety, The Sun runs a feature on the most prominent abuses of the European Human Rights Act.
Gun-toting Afghan hijackers hold up a plane at London's Stansted airport: Under the EU's Human Rights Charter, the government was prevented from booting them out.
A Somalian cop killer who can't be returned to his home country, despite committing serious offences in Britain. A gang of Islamist terror supporters baying for the blood of infidels in central London - the police were unable to break up the demonstration for fear of abusing the rights of the protestors (a motorist who argued with cops over their tolerance of the jihadis was threatened with arrest). Actually, we thought that, at the time, the police used the excuse that they felt breaking up the jihadi demonstration would cause more trouble than the parade itself was causing - Human Rights came into it later.
It's all here. The Sun is demanding Gordon Brown overturn the Human Rights Charter with a parliamentary vote. Will he dare?
