Is he still here?

Abu Qatada came to this country on a forged passport in 1993. (We can't blame Gordon Brown for this one!)

Fifteen years later, after how many attempts and how much money spent by this country, he is still here. Why?

The answer is the Human Rights Act and judges jealously guarding and observing every possible way in which to exercise power.

Where is the common sense? This man arrived fraudulently and illegally. In normal circumstances he would have no right here, and other countries would not accept the situation.

This was predicted when Blair signed the act and committed us. Those who read the wording realised that rights depended on the fact that European Union could redefine anything which favoured or did not favour the Union, and leave it to unelected and unaccountable judges to do the dirty work. Promoted by the barely democratic in Brussels and enforced by the unaccountable judiciary, we no longer are masters of our own fate.

There is support for the act - especially among those who profit from it - the human rights industry, extremists, immigration cheats, and others, but the vast majority of us must put up with the danger of violence and fraud, and show tolerance of illegality and other things.

People like Abu Qatada who certainly do not intend our good, and who have spent millions of pounds of our money in avoiding the penalty of their wrong-doing are casting a sneer at us.

It is an affront, and they and the Human Rights Act should go. The concept of justice has been damaged in this cynical way, and democracy has lost much of its meaning.
