What about their Human Rights?

The media is full today of the news that nine terrorist suspects have been arrested, their plans to blow up various London landmarks and cause mayhem and terror in the land having been discovered. Amongst their proposed targets were places such as the London Eye and the Stock Exchange, as well as various individuals.


Personally speaking, I'm glad that they are now incarcerated safely for the time being, and that they have been refused bail, but the question remains, 'What about their Human Rights?' After all, they are probably all nice people given the right set of circumstances to judge them by. Not only that, I'm sure that they were only planning to create an atmosphere of terror and to destroy property and kill people as a result of their desire, just like their fellow Islamic Fundamentalists, to turn the United Kingdom into an Islamic State. 


Given that the UK is generally seen nowadays as a soft touch by criminals and terrorists of all persuasions, and that the Human Rights Legislation, irrespective of the purpose intended originally, appears to be designed to be in favour of the criminal element and against the victims, I wonder whether these people will actually be punished at all. Oh dear! Cynical old me! I guess that my cynicism comes as a result of the way that we have seen these people treated in the past, since the EU controlled our legal system and insisted on the ridiculous Human Rights legislation being incorporated into our Law books.


Perhaps, just perhaps, we might one day find that our government has the sense to abandon the malpractice of Human Rights that we constantly find paraded before the judiciary today, in favour of a real Bill of Human Rights that truly ensures equality and common sense. 


At one time, way back when this nation had an identity of which it could be proud, unlike today, those who planned acts of terror were charged with treason and then treated to the punishment that such treacherous behaviour deserved. Unfortunately, today they are more likely to be given a slap on the wrist and then allowed to live out their lives gratis of the Benefits System, supported by the very tax-payers whom they deigned to make the target of their treasonous endeavours.


I wonder just how long it will be before the cry of 'What about their Human Rights?' will be heard. Sadly, I suspect that it won't be too long.
