the lunatics have taken over the asylum....

[stokemaveric]

ian huntley is suing the prison authoroties for £20.000 after the recent attack on him for failing in their ''duty of care'' towards him...he is GUARANTEED £10,000....the world has gone mad......

[tamborine]

His corrupt solicitors will keep the lot !

[Kathyan]

If someone is sent to prison, they should leave their human rights at the gate!

[joggerjayne]

They should insist on giving it to him in cash.

See how long he holds on to £10,000 in a confined space with a load of hardened criminals.

[Bbbananas]

Sorry folks - can't write too clearly - my screen is all smeared now from my spitting... in rage, anger, disgust, despair.
I'll just get a cloth.....

[zzxxee]

absolutley shocking !!!!! and its tax payers money that will be his compensation payout we should all refuse to pay our taxes !!!

[piggynose]

isnt this what he wanted? attention, surely if you choose to ignore him he will be forgotten. plus what was the source of this news? tabloid press, or ?
by the look of things, old wounds have returned. is it huntley mania now?

[VHG]

Much as we may not like the idea, we do have to protect prisoners from each other.

Otherwise you would have anarchy in prison, with gang warfare, and prisoners murdering or torturing each other (and dont say "good" as not every prisoner is like Huntley).

If the prison guards were not doing their job, and a prisoner is attacked, then the prisoner does deserve some compentation.

[missnemesis]

Unfortunately in today's society it does seem that the 'human rights' of the criminal take much more precedence than that of the victim/s. I think that you forfeit all claims to rights when you are convicted of a crime and sent to prison.

Personally I would have fried that b ast ard thus solving the problem of him being assaulted on the inside!

[missnemesis]

Given what he is inside for VHG would you have protected him from this attack?

I certainly wouldn't have, infact I would have held him down while they did it. Perhaps then he might have bled to death and saved the taxpayer from having to feed and clothe him for the next however many years that he disgraces Britain with his presence!

[piggynose]

is missnemesis a judge or ? how many people are wrongly convicted every day?

[flip_flop]

Are you suggesting Huntley was wrongly convicted piggynose?

[Oneeyedvic]

agree with VHG - although he committed a heinous crime, we have a responsibility to criminals - otherwise we become a country who have human rights that we despise.

If (and only if) the prison warders did fail in their due care, then they should rightly be castigated. Prison is not (and should never be in my opinion) about retribution.

[stokemaveric]

oneyedvic lets put in perspective then shall we?...the parents of huntleys 2 victims only recieved £11,000 compensation....would you call that fair??what about the victims and their families human rights?? they were taken away in huntleys house were they not...when he murdered them....

[flip_flop]

Prison most certainly should be about retribution. People are sent to prison as a punishment for their crimes.

Rehabilitation should only be a corollary to the punishment.

[youngmafbog]

What do you expect when the lefties have been in power for so long gradually eroding our power and giving it to our Bruxelles rulers.

You reap what you sow.

[Quinlad]

I blame Bottler, Noo Labour and the EU.

Sorry - 'the eeyoo'.

[jno]

and I thought it was the British down the ages who'd led the demand for human rights, in instances such as Magna Carta.

But apparently it was Brussels.
