What she should have said is: "We're going to take urgent steps to repeal this legislation and start sending people like this back to their country of origin. The interests and well being of the ordinary people of this country, whatever their race, culture or religion are far more important to us than any possible risk to these inidividuals in their home countries."

But, of course, that's too much to hope for, isn't it?

its quite simple to me, the safety of suspected terrorists is paramount, whilst the british public can go get stuffed.

I wasn't really referring to any particular piece of legislation. I was being more general really.

Well, while you're here perhaps you'd care to comment on it?

I would agree with most of the comments. He should be deported.

I have news for Teresa May...disappointed doesn't cut it.......they are illegal......that means they have no rights........no rights to be here, no right to appeal.
And as for monitoring them to ensure that they aren't 'naughty' again....well, I don't trust them to do that right either.
As Wyn so aptly observes, it is going to cost money to monitor them......something that is going to be in short supply in the coming months(remember we have bills to pay, debts to service)....so where is this money coming from then? You guessed...our pockets.
Send the blighters back to where they came from and let them take their chances......either that or give them 28 days to find a country that will adopt them.

Yeah, I know, an honest politician - a contradiction in terms.

I'll be very interested to hear our new PM's comment on this situation (if he makes one at all).

Margaret Pilkington · 18-05-2010, 16:49

Party manifestos should be legally binding.
I'm sure I read somewhere that the Tory party wanted to repeal the Human Rights Act.

Whilst ya said they have only recovened parliment, this post is the reason fer my thread title, cos i honestly believe, just as labour did -they will do beggar all about re-pealing this. come on Cameron make me eat humble pie!

Margaret Pilkington · 18-05-2010, 16:58

I think we should all be e-mailing Teresa May...she says that public safety is her top priority....how can this be so when a court recognises that this pair are still a danger to the country, but Teresa May is not willing to challenge the SIAC ruling?

Margaret Pilkington · 18-05-2010, 17:01

Theresa May MP

And just in case you feel like dropping her a line to tell her how 'disappointed' you are with her performance so far......above is her website address.
Click on the bit that says 'get in touch'

Should be hilarious as the Libs were Dead against repealing the act.

cashman · 18-05-2010, 17:51

just been on news Theresas NOT appealing.

what a surprise.

Margaret Pilkington · 18-05-2010, 18:06

Yes Cashy, that is why I put the link up to her website...so that folk can express their disappointment...and ask her where the money is coming from to monitor these two would be terrorists....after all she really does want us all to be safe......if that wasn't so serious it would be funny.
