Why can’t woman on benefits, owing £3,500 rent be evicted !!!

Because her eviction could be contravening the European Convention on Human Rights (EHCR).

Well I bloody well want to know how that works.

I used to be housed by the local council. I had an agreement which required that I pay the rent. If I didn’t pay the rent I would have broken that agreement. And because I broke that agreement I would have been evicted.

Well I have moved on from there, I am not on benefits and work for my salary, out of which I have to pay my mortgage.  What I do know is that should I fail to pay that mortgage for any prolonged period of time the bank would seek my eviction from the property and not a court in this land would stand up for me on the basis of the ECHR.

What I also know is that my human rights are being trampled daily under the guise of the ECHR.

Not only am I paying for my home but I am paying for this womans home and thousand like her.

I am sick to the back teeth of this country funding all the dead beats and scroungers via all kinds of benefits.

There is endless talk of fixing the benefits culture in this country but I tell you it isn’t happening fast enough. It isn’t being helped by the legal “experts” who misuse the ECHR so often that its becoming valueless. The ECHR is no longer fit for purpose.

I believe that we as a country should resign our membership or what ever we have to do to prevent ourselves from being hog-tied by this useless piece of legislation.

After so much time and public money has been wasted on this guy. Finally a judge steps up to the mark and says he should be extradited.

Of course he should.

Do we or do we not have friendly relations with the Sweden.

Assange and his lawyers have wriggled and squirmed, even claiming that good old catch-all, Breach of his Human Rights. They also claimed that the crime of which he is accused  in Sweden would not be considered a crime in this country.

Let him fight his case in the Swedish courts, not in ours and not in the newspapers.

The Yanks have hired a ferry to get their people out of Libya while the Clameron Twins dither.  Just like a scene from  Yes Prime Minister, Cameron is off on a jolly round the middle east and Cleggy says he “forgot” he was running the country during his absence.

Where is the ferry to get our people out ? In fact where is there any sign that our government is doing anything. Did the powers that be not see that guy on the news last night saying that he had basically been told by an embassy official that it was up to him to get himself out of Libya

This is just the scenario when you expect your government to step up to the mark.

Why is there any delay in deporting this person ?

He has admitted that he lied and that his only intention was to earn money to send back to his family. He did not need asylum. The fact that he lied to his friends, the UK Border Agency, MP Jonathan Edwards and just about everyone else just reinforces the Border Agencies decision as being the correct one.

The only assistance this guy needs is to get him on a plane back home.

BBC News – Deportation battle student Ahmer Rana’s identity lies.

So the government has done an about-face on the sale of our nations forests.

Should we applaud them for having the strength to reverse their decision in the face of public out cry. Or should we perhaps be questioning the sanity of a government that actually thought that it had the right to sell off the nations property. The forests don’t belong to the government, they belong to the nation. The government is just the custodian and the Forestry Commission their  management team.

This government is in slash and burn mode as they try to fix the economic problems that the labour government bequeathed to us all. I think we need to watch them closely so that they don’t jettison any other national treasures while the red mist is obscuring their common sense.
