Common sense could overwhelm political correctness in Britain. Let's hope it does before it's too late. By James Slack in the Daily Mail, with thanks to Olivia:
Britain might quit the European Convention on Human Rights, Charles Clarke has said.The former Home Secretary said there was public anger that the courts appeared to give the rights of terror suspects a "higher priority" than preventing possible bomb attacks.
On pulling out of the convention, Mr Clarke said: "It's completely underestimated as a possibility, I think it could easily happen.
"If the court is not seen as upholding the interests of the public then the public will say "no thanks"."
Good news, go for it.
That is precisely what UK must do!
'might' is the operative word.
Wait and see if it happens, politicians are always making promises they don't keep.
Good for Britain-I hope they follow through.
It is hard to do the right thing when your hands are tied up by the likes of the European Convention of Human Rights....Political Correctness is the bain of society...I say goodbye and good riddence.....
Tony Blair is due to quit as Prime Minister this year, so there'll probably be a leadership contest, although some people are acting as if Gordon Brown is the heir apparent.
Those who are up for it will be trying to raise their profile. For example Gordon Brown has got a lot of attention this week going on about some remarks which were made to an Indian contestant on 'Big Brother'. I reckon Charles Clarke will be a contender so he is saying all this to raise his profile too.
Other challengers, maybe Jack Straw?
More government spin probably. If they do leave the convention on human rights they will probably bring in a new law making terrorism compulsory.
The evidence shows that this government is attempting to dismantle Britain on all fronts. They have systematically passed laws designed to put the public at ever greater risk so that they can introduce ever more draconian laws.
Do you think the government doesn't know what happens when they release terorists, murderers and rapists onto the streets? And what possible reason could they have to disallow the identity of a known terrorist to be published? Human rights? That's a joke.
Follow the money trail, that's what drives this government. If there is enough money in it they see the killing of innocents as acceptable.
"And what possible reason could they have to disallow the identity of a known terrorist to be published? "
The identity should be shown , you might just discover the true identity of the cab driver of the cab you have been using, or the identity of the store clerk in your neighborhood...you might just discover just how close to death you really are.....
We've been saying "NO Thanks" for the past seven years.
Hmm... don't get too excited. This is just a fish thrown to the seals to distract them from all the hullaballoo surrounding that creep Blair... 'bout as much chance as this happening as Ian Paisley converting to Catholicism
If you ever wonder how far into the Confusion Hole the human race can sink, buy an airline ticket and go attend an EU conference. These people are seriously stupid.
Herr Karl must be beaming with pride in his grave.
I would like to assert that a vast number of people in the UK have no love of political correctness or respecting the 'rights' of suicide bombers. They see all this for the pile of steaming manure it really is.
The problem is the tint that the media put on everything, especially our friends at al-beeb. As if anyone gives a damn about a few petty comments made by a mindless F-list celebrity on a program specifically designed to be provocative!
Forget the BBC and stalinist rags like the Independent and the Grauniad, who represent the opinions of air-headed college lecturers and jobless lefties who make up for their lack of intellect and reasoning capabilities by constantly 'protesting' about anything and everything. These people are completely and utterly out of touch with the average Brit on the street, treating him with contempt and condescending scorn as soon as he dares suggest that islamic radicals should be brought to justice rather than being given a pat on the back and a fat welfare packet...
Attention : American.Western Politicians.
Learn from mistakes from India and do not repeat it .
For years the ,Bangladeshis have been ,migrating ( illegally) in India . Certain politicians encouraged it becasue for them it was a voote bank. Taking advantage of this, the Islamic mullahs secretly but slowly have increased in numbers and now influence the vote during elections(and deny violence even thought its obvious).
A certain poilitical party in India, denounced this and asked all illegal immigrants to be deported becasue it seemed obvious this was a national threat.They were called RACISTS and Non secular.The same is happeing to you. If you oppose the wrong thnig, you are RACist but they openly call for jihad and still termed as moderate muslims.
Have you ever seen a big Muslim rally because of their suicide bombers killed innoncent people.
But do a little security check on them at the airport and they suddenly have the time and voice to protest as if someone was killed.
But politicians either ignored it unkowingly or for sake of power vote bank.
Today this small threat is ballooned up into a big one as these people are bieng used by jihdists to recruit and create mayhem in India because they just cannot see the econmic growth as well as democratic values flourishing.
Today this minority is no longer a minority and threat.
For temporary political gains,the national threat was bieng breeded and now has started rearing its ugly head
Your UK/American politicians are repeating the same mistake. They are allowing future potetnial national threat by allowing free immigration for Muslims,justifying it as politcally correct and secularism.
First step: Stop immigration. I will suffer myself as a result of this because although I am a hindu,my skin color and looks can be easily mistaken for a muslim. But still I support total immigration laws or else you are just digging your own grave.
We need to understand one thning. Islam hate all non Muslims and for them the only way out is to kill them. How can one reason with someone like that.
I am sorry to say but you Westerners are people who live in different world and have no idea how much hate these muslims have for you. I have met Muslims in your country (who have mistaken me to be muslim and thius opened out to me) who would like nothnig but to harm and damage and probably kills peoplewithout thinkinig twice.I remmber once i was walking on the road in Montreal and a group of Guys asked me why i never visit the mosque or donate for islamic causes. They were under impression that I was a muslim. The moment they came to know I was a hindu,they changed their words and said they were just kidding and not serios. But deep below I knew it was not that
Stop Immigration . (Even though others may also suffer although they have done no wrong). If they want sharia law and islamic state ask them to stay in one and not make one of your country.
I hope you guys understand the extent of hatred they have for you.
