Yeah, I'm worrying about "international jurisdiction" too. I'm worried about how both major parties in this country meekly accept the "jurisdiction" of an overseas court who, as far as I'm concerned, should have no say in the way we conduct our affairs. I'm worried about how each successive government "nestles in the pockets" of the ECHR and the EU and surrenders more and more of our independence as each year goes by. People are hailing the decision on these scumbags as a great victory, but is it? We're allowed to send them packing because some court in Strausbourg has given us permission? Personally, I think we should have told the ECHR to stuff it (in diplomatic terms) and shipped 'em out years ago!
