Pinoy murderer who will die in UK jail

[IainBusby]

IMHO European Court of Human Rights should leave us to deal how we see fit with murdering scum. Wouldn't be up for debate if murderers swung upon conviction

There's only 2 choices really now that were all signed up to the European Union, it's laws and conventions, we either go along with their rulings or we get the hell out, but I don't believe any government will ever give us the choice on whether we stay in or get out and that applies both to future conservative goverments as well as future labour governments.

I do not see that the practical solution is to jump from the frying pan, but rather to get the EU rules changed so that countries can opt out of the parts of EU policy/practice which they do not agree with.

I see no reason why any country should be controlled by the other countries in the EU when in comes to what happens in that country. The criminal law being one such area.

UK and Ireland amongst others opted out of the Schengen Agreement so why not do the same on other matters which the populace don't agree with?

I think the biggest problem is that hardly anyone in UK has or would challenge their MP on such matters and thus it all get by on the nod. If almost 100% of the electorate voiced their objection to a particular policy there is no doubt it would be changed.

But expecting most Brits to do anything but whinge, is a bridge too far!
