King Unknown The First Outlaws Britain

Bad news everyone! Apparently, the Government can put you under house arrest, close down your business and deny you cancer treatment but they can't deport the Beast of Benghazi. 

It's against his umantites, innit?

The Beast wants safe haven but Rwanda doesn't count... for reasons. 

And that's why conservatives are racists! I'm willing to bet not one in a thousand of these morons could explain what's actually wrong with Rwanda. Nope, we're just meant to accept that it's full of.... those people. 

They never quite say what they mean but, then again, why would they have to? It's not like they need to appeal to actual voters. The Labour Party - aka the former People's Party - only campaigns in one constituency these days: Judgesham-on-sea. 

Meanwhile, the Cuckservatives refuse to draw the obvious conclusion from a Labour Party afraid even to state clearly what it believes. Like I keep saying, the left doesn't rely on judges to get its agenda through because its policies are popular. 

Besides, as the saying goes, justice must not only be done, but must be done behind closed doors with zero transparency. 

At least I think that's how it goes. Still, at least it's a reminder that for all the 'Putin supports Brexit' talking points, it always seems to be the Eurocrats that are down with Mother Russia. 

The only real issue I have with talk of 'foreign judges' is that it presupposes there is such a thing as a 'British' judge. 

Nope, all the judges round here are clearly proud citizens of the Republic of Davos.  Meanwhile, just like the Rwandans, we're barbarous, primitive natives needing to be civilised by our betters. 

Send The Bill To Shami

Who'd have thunk it: an Islamonazi lunatic not cooperating with law enforcement? Honestly, it's getting so you can't trust anyone these days.

Mind you, I haven't checked the latest reports from the courts this week. Are we sure they haven't found a human right to abscond?

 In related news, liberals won't trust a country GP to keep a pistol round the house becuase that would be dangerous.

Cops Gone Wild, Civil Liberties Freaks Gone To Sleep

Like the lady says, it's a good job she wasn't a bloke.

Let's check the scorecard here: the police are trying to blackmail a legitimate news organisation, while whining about 'unfair, naive and irresponsible reporting', meanwhile they're sending out letters accusing innocent citizens of kerb crawling.

This is the perfect example of the moral bankruptcy of both the human rights industry and Cameronism.

It should hardly need to be stated - except it passed most libertarians by - that if the Philosopher Kings on the bench can create absurd new rights at a stroke, they can just as easily sweep aside real ones. This is how we ended up with a country infested with lawyers, but where the police can still demand this:

It informed the car’s owner that her Volvo estate had been sighted by officers and added that officers needed to speak to her as soon as possible to ‘confirm that you have not committed any offences.’

...At which point the ghost of Matthew Hopkins has just slapped himself atop the head shouting 'why didn't I think of that'?

And then there's The Dave....

Hey, we were told that Culture War was passé, so ten minutes ago, squaresville. The Dave would ascend the throne and the lion would lie down the lamb, and with one bound Jack would be free.

Oops.

The Dave is in Number Ten, but staggeringly enough, it turns out the loonies have not in fact folded their tents and retired to Tuscany. Nope, leftist fanatics are still using public services to impose their own crazy agenda, after all. Guess we do need to fight the culture war after all.

Independence Day!

Who's have thunk it? 'Non-partisan human rights organisation' Human Rights Watch has just been caught taking a bung from Spectre No 1 himself.

Yep, that guy.

First They Came For The Homicidal Lunatics....

Further evidence for my theory that when hipsters claim to oppose paedophiles, they actually mean it in the purely abstract sense, rather than in the sense of opposing any predator that's ever actually existed.

In the same spirit, I would now like to out myself as a libertarian. Yes, indeed: I strongly believe police officers should not be allowed to randomly machine gun passers-by from their squad cars.

Still, that does raise one question for our hipster friends: in so far as Roy Whiting was convicted for a sexual offence against a child, got a slap on the wrist, moved on up to actual homicide, but is still allowed taxpayer's money to play 'Find That Loophole' just what does it take for our sofitikeyted pals to agree that yes, indeed, he is beyond the pale?

America The Beautiful

Now this is the way to handle liberals! You can almost imagine the dialogue:

Liberal Whiner: Having to wait for the executioners to find three veins is cruel!

Real American: OK, you win! We'll just kill him more slowly with the one drug then.

Liberal Whiner: Doh!

UN Scrapes Barrel

The thing I can't work out is this: if the US is so evil, how come the charge sheet is always so completely bonkers?

Reliable Witness!

Hey, let's not be prejudiced here. Just 'cause a guy thinks mass murder is a ducky way way to spend an afternoon doesn't mean he'd stoop to lying, right?

Of course, not every case of torture excites the left...

Shocka! EUnuchs And Thugs Opposed To Air Power

EUtopias experiment with post-modern warfare continues. All of which means the left's latest talking point doesn't quite have the impact they might be expecting. It's like Sir Elton coming out of the closet.

Ditto, with the rest of these nations. Are we really supposed to be impressed with the news that Fourth World hell holes are trying to hobble western air power ? They're opposed to the use of ballot boxes too. When exactly did we start letting North Korea dictate allied strategy ?

But Simon Conway, a former soldier and the Director of Landmine Action, said: "Every time these weapons are used, they have killed large numbers of civilians."

The M85 killed 300 civilians when used in the Lebanon by Israel in 2006, while M73s launched by US helicopters were used in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Yep, they're using evidence from the Lebanon war. What could go wrong ?

Mr Conway said: "The Government needs to take a much harder line on these issues. We need to prevent these weapons from proliferating. We need to stop the arms race developing and the way to do that is if we come up with a strong treaty that stigmatises these weapons."

That'll do it! If only we'd manage to stigmatise sawing heads off, suicide bombing and flying aircraft into buildings.

But no: it turns out that the folks in Beijing somehow manage to go on, even in the face of whiny criticism from Eurotrash liberals. Indeed, this campaign is something of a smart bomb itself, perfectly targeted to hinder western powers, even as they leave the Republic of Insania's war-fighting capabilities intact. Or, to put it another way, the left's position is objectively pro-totalitarian. Again.

Terrorists, And The Liberals Who Love Them

People said my plan to lace cocaine with sodium penthol was stupid, but look what happened when we dropped a crate of the special snow at Channel 4 HQ:

We think it is an awful situation in Guantanamo but we had exactly the same situation here [i.e. the imprisonment of IRA scumbag Bobby Sands - DJ]. Let's remember we were doing this before Guantanamo.

Exactly the same ? The one thing you can't say about Bobby Slimfast was that he was held in legal limbo. He had his day in court - and this being the UK, doubtless 64 appeals and 14 retrials as well, all in civilian courts, with the full protections of the criminal code.

Apparently, it isn't the specifics of Club Gitmo that so offend the left after all. Civilian trials or no civilian trials, they're outraged that people can lose their liberty just for being murderous scumbags. All of which is by way of saying that there's no point trying to pander to the left's choir insensible. All that yammering about human rights is purely tactical. They're not defending principles, they're defending killers.

Lawyers Against The Law

At least they're honest:

But U.S. legal experts are increasingly converting their skepticism about human rights into a growing appreciation of its use, as environmental justice attorney Monique Harden puts it, “to break out of the chokehold of domestic law.”

Arrrrrrrr, Jim Lad, Phone My Lawyer

The most annoying thing about the whole human rights scam is hearing liberals claim to be upholding traditional British values. Really ? So how about checking out how an genuinely olde worlde problem gets treated under human right law.

I might be nitpicking here, but this isn't exactly how things were done in the old days.

For The People!

These libs - they're all about the civil liberties:

Music fans who repeatedly download songs illegally should have their internet connections severed, the manager of U2 has said.

Paul McGuinness, who has managed the best-selling group for 30 years, attacked internet service providers for failing to clamp down on illegal file-sharing.

Yep, liberals will be right behind Club Gitmo, just as soon as we start sending pirate CD sellers there.

Outrage D'Jour

Secret courts ? Profiling ? The media gagged ? Law-abiding people held to account for crimes they could commit at some time in the future ?

It's like every pretentious BBC script ever come true! So how come Shameless Shami hasn't ordered Liberty to go to WHINECON ONE, latte Libs aren't chaining themselves to the railings outside the Westminister Asylum and Harold Pinter isn't penning a play about it all ?

Ah, well, you see, it's like this...

Hey, forget the rest, in so far as Liberals claim to be so horrified by the prospect of family break-up that they won't allow us to deport murderers, the humbug meter just jumped off the dial.

Anyone remember the Forest Gate Kittens ? A source had provided technically accurate details of a bomb said to be held at an address occupied by a family with multiple criminal convictions, including firearms offences, and known to have Islamofascist sympathies, but the Left was enraged that the police hit the address. Apparently, police searching an address is a sign of the impending dark night of fascism, except if they leave with all the kids in the house.

See, this is what I was on about here - except that in that case the mother actually was delusional - really mentally ill, rather than potentially suffering a made-up illness invented by a disbarred fanatic and diagnosed by an untrained quack. Other than that, the cases are identical.

Incidentally, this is why I disagree with Steve. The whole 'Human Rights' scam isn't despised just because it protects criminals, but also because it fails to protect the innocent. It's all the calories, none of the taste. Like I said at the top, here's your over-bearing state power right here, but no: the only law the human rights lobby consistently respect is the one about 'no enemies to the Left'.

Could it get sleazier ? Why, yes! Note the government's slippery non-denial denial. Hey, these are people who'll set the Competition Commission loose on mobile phone companies, supermarkets and airlines, but social workers abducting babies for fun and profit ? Zzzzzzzzzzz....

If nothing else, these people are potentially guilty of fraud, so why aren't the fraud squad carrying out dawn raids ? Actually, given that they're social workers, a noon raid would probably do just as well, still, why aren't doors being kicked in ?

This is what I was talking about yesterday. Once the administration of law is contaminated by the need to 'send the right message' - as our idiot Liberal friends would no doubt say - then all hope of justice is lost. I guess the only way we'll get members of the Liberal Cult interested in claims of State-sponsored child abduction is if we can find proof they're sending the kids to Guantanamo Bay.

The Dialogue's Poor, The Characters Are Repulsive And The Plot Doesn't Make Sense

Thanks to the indefatigable JulieM, I find out that we're in for another round of kabuki theatre. Yep, another scumbag is exploting human rights to beat the system, and the government is just shocked - shocked! - by the whole thing.

In other words, a Liberal government is shocked that a tribunal stuffed with Liberals uses Liberal laws they themselves introduced to allow a scumbag to escape justice. Honestly, it's like an Alzheimer's joke - there are probably civilisations in the Pegasus galaxy that have heard how our Liberals use the human rights angle to protect scumbags.

Say what you like about Lady Thatcher, but at least when she privatised stuff, she didn't claim she was being forced into it by nasty old bureaucrats. Meanwhile, the Great Clunking Fist wishes us to know that he'd love to help but, like, it's out of his hands, init ?

It'd be hard to top Nu Lab's political amnesia for sleaziness, but you-know-who have managed it. The Tories are equally outraged, and equally short of actual policies....

But wait - Mr Tory would like me to point out that they're thinking about considering a possible review of the Human Rights Act. True, but even if the HRA was ripped up tomorrow, the underlying legislation would still be in place, so we'd still end up with the usual suspects scoring huge legal aid fees for helping scumbags avoid justice.

That's not even the best of it. Even if a successful scumbagectomy could be performed, in so far as Italy is in the EU, this low-life has the right to jump back on the next plane. But find an MSM outlet that will point that out.

In other words, wacko Liberal activists are using Liberal legislation to pursue Liberal objectives, the Tories say they're appalled, but not to the extent of doing anything about it, and the EU has managed to screw things up beyond repair anyway. But remember, if you don't vote, the Reverend Dale will be mightily upset!

Yes, I Can See An Overlap

While popular Leftist blog 'The BBC' takes out an onion for those British residents in Club Gitmo- none of whom were, technically speaking, resident at the time they were captured - we need to check out the comments at B-BBC for the real story on them.

Same ol', same ol'. Still, it did amuse me to see this on the BBC's page:

Libyan-born Omar Deghayes was granted refugee status with his family in the 1980s.

He grew up in Brighton, was privately educated and studied law at British universities. Amnesty International said he wanted to be a human rights lawyer.

Well, quite.

Liberals Scraping Bottom

Just remember, when Liberals complain about torture, this is what they mean

Nothing

Who says the government can't get people freed ? The BBC has been pushing this story all day and always next to reports from Iran. I guess they're trying to suggest an equivalence between this scumbag and the Iran hostages.

A lot of folks would call this moral equivalence. I wouldn't, I'd call it moral nihilism. If you can't see the difference between professional soldiers and a guy who thinks blowing up the No 27 is a fine way to make his point, then your moral compass is terminally twisted. If nothing else, can these people stop yammering about 'atrocities' ? If setting off a bomb on a crowded train is no big, then sure as hell nothing the British Army has done in Iraq rises to the level of evil.

But, of course, it's all tactical. If nothing else, the Iran hostage crisis has proven just how bogus all that Liberal moralising really is. The Red Cross, Amnesty International and all the rest of the caravan of fools have suddenly been struck dumb. Liberal morality turns out to mean whatever they claim it means. We always knew the Left was full of it, and now they've been exposed.
