The furore and muddled thinking in government and the media following the outcry from the widow of murdered headmaster Philip Lawrence over his killer being allowed to stay in England at the end of his sentence is predictable and insulting. Cue the sound of many chickens coming home to roost.
It is not a matter of human rights it is a matter of EU law as the killer's solicitor amply explained on Channel 4 news last evening but the waffling immigration lawyer Iain MacDonald QC on Radio 4 Today this morning at 0709 was at a loss to make coherent, denying a connection with freedom of movement. Home Office Minister Tony McNulty was similarly all at sea yesterday saying his department would dispute the ruling. The interview with the distraught widow in the prime interview spot on that same programme at 0810 - was equally a disgrace. Listen to both from the programmes 'Listen Again' facility linked here. (The interviewer of Jack Straw presently underway as I finish this post is making a better job at grasping the essence, Jack Straw is floundering and obfuscating).
Ministers and lawyers know perfectly well why extradition is now impossible. Milan and London are in the same monstrous non-democratic jurisdiction with the present farce of the human rights charter and human rights legislation being paid lip service while the power grab, promoted by all three political parties in England and the broadcast media promoting the conspiracy as it enters its final stages. When that is complete see how long our freedom of movement and other rights are removed - without the power to periodically remove our rulers human rights are a meaningless concept.
Our country has been sold out just as our parliament stands at risk this Autumn. There is no longer a UK therefore to suggest extraditing a convicted member of the duped masses on the basis he carries the passport of one ex-nation-state rather than another is complete farce.
Confusion reigns in the printed media as well, read the Daily Mail from here or worse the Telegraph's Home Affairs Editor from here.
Good news for once, the Daily Telegraph petition for a referendum on the EU Reform Treaty, has today passed the fifty thousand mark, read from here. Readers of this blog I feel sure have already signed up if they are going to...... but how about your friends and family?
