Carstairs State Hospital want to transfer murderer who cut off man's head and used it as football.

Dear All

Sometimes you wonder how some people got their jobs.

Gregor McGurk is a murderer who cut off his dad's head and kicked it around a car park in broad daylight.

Now, this guy is taking his first steps towards freedom.

Since the murder he has been in the maximum security State Hospital at Carstairs which houses some of the most violent and worst people in Scotland.

This is the best place for him and the community.

Now because of cost cutting, a source at the State Hospital said;

"There is a policy of moving people out of Carstairs at the moment and the number of beds is being reduced”.

This is one area that the SNP Government needs to address as a matter of concern before a serious problem develops.

Carstairs bosses have now recommended McGurk's transfer to the Rowanbank Clinic in the grounds of Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow's Springburn area.

It is understood the full extent of what McGurk done to his dad, he;

bludgeoned him with a cricket bat

sawed through his throat with a serrated knife, possibly while he was still alive

then booted the severed head around like a football.

And the bosses of Carstairs want him transferred to a place he can effectively walk out the gate?

I don’t think the people of Springburn will be overjoyed will that prospect.

Sticking a guy like that with a history of extreme violence in a high violent crime and drugs area!

And the move follows concerns that, under the European Convention on Human Rights, patients kept in an "excessive" level of security could sue the Government.

That is bullshit, under the convention there is an opt out in Article 8.2

“There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others”.

This is another abuse of the Human Rights legislation by well paid idiots who cannot or will not read the law properly.

This guy is locked up because he represents a serious threat to public safety.
