Shouldn't he be deported straight away?

Another young life is cut short, but the asylum seeker who killed her walks free, not only that but the 31-year-old Iraqi Kurd has been released on bail from custody while he makes yet another appeal to stay in the UK. He says it is too dangerous for him to return to his homeland.

In cases such as this why does this person still hold the right to protection through our courts? It is a pity that this little girl's grieving family don't get the same sort of considerations.

They have such rights, aog because of the UK�s continued adherence to the European Convention on Human Rights and the 1998 Human Rights Act.

Both these are deliberately vague and it is left to the courts to interpret them individually in almost every case presented to them. Precedence in the courts has decreed that, in practice, a person threatened with deportation has only to say that their life or safety is at risk if they are returned to their country of origin and the full panoply of the HR legislation swings into action to protect them. These rights are not trumped simply because they have committed serious criminal offences.

Meantime, our troops are not afforded such protection. They are forced to go to godforsaken holes, live in tents and risk having their legs blown off. At the same time the citizens of those countries can come to the UK, live in council flats and enjoy benefits whilst fighting deportation through our courts on Legal Aid.

Time and again this same question is raised. Time and again I or others provide the same answer. It will not change unless the 1998 Act is repealed, the UK withdraws as a signatory to the ECHR and (as a result) withdraws from its membership of the EU.

All three are unlikely in the extreme, whatever the result of the next (or subsequent) General Elections. So we�re stuck with it.

Of course his ooman rights come first.

Welcome to Blairs Britain.

It's another fine example of the legal profession being totally out of synch. with the views of the public. New Judge states the Human Rights Act is deliberately vague on such matters. It is not the act that is at fault then, it is the interpretation put on that act by judges.
