Human rights or no human rights, this is taking things to the extreme.

First he gets written apologies, which offended him because they contained spelling mistakes, but that is not good enough, for now he is to claim thousands in compensation, to be funded through Legal Aid.

If it's anything like the instance when Huntley was attacked in prison and it was suggested that he would apply for compensation, the Home Secretary said at the time that that was very unlikely. I would hope he applies the same opinion here.

I wonder what chance of probation a triple murderer has who killed his victims less than 3 years ago?

[boxtops]

well yes Sandy, I would consider that point as well - I didn't spot how recent his sentence was!

Poor bloke, I mean, what's three lives compared to the spelling mistakes he has had to put up with? I think he should be released immediately and, how about a pair of cup final tickets as a sorry? I tell you, when I read about the hardships suffered by this fellow, It made me weep.

I wonder if this sort of nonsense takes place in the rest of the EU ?

[sambro]

stop reading the mail!!it makes everyone paranoid.

[AlBags]

I'd take a reprimand or the sack for refusing to apologise to that creep.
Shame he wasn't tried in Texas.

sambro Would you prefer that such things are not reported?

The Mail doesn't 'report' things. That's the whole point.

They have three or four stories that they present in every issue of the publication. These stories express a point of view they have already formulated, they simply use selected elements of different daily events to further advance that story regardless of any factual balance.

Simples. But not to be confused with reporting.
