Prisoners' human rights

Having listened to BBC 5Live's Nicky Campbell's pathetically meek interview of John Hirst, I was relieved to find that Andrew Neil actually challenged the man convicted of manslaughter



Also here is John Hirst on the Jeremy Vine radio show being interviewed by Jeremy Vine and Paul Staines (Guido Fawkes)



Finally here is John Hirst's recent celebratory video

As John Hirst is seen smoking cannabis in the above video and he admits this in the Jeremy Vine interview (at around 4:30), can I suggest that the police arrest him for this crime.


Should prisoners have human rights? Of course they should. But why give them the vote. Can I suggest that just as the UK has not signed up to Protocol 7 - crime and family, that we remove ourselves from whichever Protocol or Article is enforcing this decision.

Tony Blair's signing up of this country to the European Human Rights Convention was a huge mistake and one that only a lawyer could have thought correct. We are so far down this slippery slope that I fear there is no way back. What next, the European Convention on Human Rights includes the right to marriage...


As an afterthought, Article 9 of the Convention on 'conscience and religion' provides a right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This includes the freedom to change a religion or belief. This option is very much against the tenets of Islam where to leave Islam is covered by the crime of apostasy and punishable by death. What will happen to the European Convention on Human Rights when Islam becomes an even larger minority religion in The Netherlands, France, Germany and the UK?
