Dear All
Human Rights as we all know are important, regardless of class, colour or sex, people have the right to be treated equally and fairly.
The other aspect of human rights is the right for the state to protect its citizens.
Article 8.2 of ‘The European Convention on Human Rights’;
‘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’.
It is not the Human Rights legislation that is the problem in the UK but the people who clearly don’t understand the law and the concept properly.
It is even more baffling when a Judge such as Mr Justice Collins gets it wrong.
Alphonse Semo is a convicted rapist who has won a High Court battle to be allowed to stay in Britain so he can get married thereby escaping deportation.
After he raped his victim he threw her on a rubbish tip when he had finished with her.
Such an individual is clearly a danger to the public and should be deported after finishing his sentence and permanently banned from entering Britain.
The only bit of sanity in this sorry mess came from High Court judge Mrs Justice Nicola Davies who refused an application last Friday to let him get married as she observed that the application was 'an attempt to obstruct the process of removal'.
Semo then appealed again and Mr. Justice Collins came out with his bizarre decision to allow him to stay.
The Semo case sums up the problem with human rights in how the European Convention on Human Rights works.
Once married Semo will claim status as a European Economic Area national entitled to free movement within EU member states, including the UK.
Yet again the Labour Government has badly let down the people of Britain on the subject of immigration.
Their refusal to engage in a proper immigration debate which must be EU wide will allow more people Alphonse Semo to walk the streets of Britain making a mockery of the law.
The actions of Mr Justice Collins have made society weaker.
The European Convention on Human Rights gave him the means to act properly, he chose to not to.
Article 8.2 is clear and Semo represents a threat to public safety.
Actions like this fuels racism and plays into the hands of the BNP.
Yours sincerely
