Re: Question for Graham Jones re Amy Houston
I have just done a Radio Interview after today's news. Mr Mohammed should be deported and the judges have the powers within the EC HRA to deport him.
Cameron (and the media) seems to think that the HRA is EU meddling. In fact the EU have not signed up to the HRA.
The HRA is a European Council agreement with 49 European countries signed up. Some of whom have been criticised previously for HR's abuses.
British lawyers I am told wrote the Act but we were a late signature to it. Turkey of all places was one of the original countries to adopt the act and they clearly have had HR issues. I am sure Mr Mohammed would without doubt been deported from Turkey.
As one of the worlds leading democracies it would be a big decision to pull out. Especially when the Act says Mr Mohammed can be deported and that Mr Houston, and everyone else has at least equal rights.
I finished the interview by stating that is the judiciary that are out of touch. The UK Border Agency also feel there are strong legal grounds under the act to deport him.
I just wonder whether judges here are trying to prove some liberal point?
