High Treason in the UK and the ECHR

It occurs to me that when the two Islamists attacked and murdered Drummer Lee Rigby, they actually committed treason.  They, by their own words, killed him because he was a serving soldier from the British Army.  And they committed this murder within the realm of HM Queen Elizabeth.  Surely that qualifies this as the crime of treason?

I thought, until just recently, that treason was one of the few crimes left, to which capital punishment could be applied.  However, it seems that a combination of acts passed by the last Labour government, including signing-up to the 13th protocol of the much-despised European Convention on Human Rights in 2004, means that the death penalty cannot be used as either a deterrent or as a fitting reward for these jihadists.  Yet another 'green light' for terrorists from Labour.

Much has been already written about how the ECHR and its application by British judges flies in the face of common sense and decency.  Much also has been said and many hands have been wrung by Conservative politicians about the need for reform of the ECHR.  It seems to me that it is a fundamental obligation, maybe even the fundamental obligation, of government to protect its people.  How do we square that with a government that seems powerless (or is maybe unwilling) to repeal legislation that puts the British people at daily risk?  How many innocent British people need to die before appropriate action is taken?

We have had Tony Blair 'apologizing', in 2006, for the UK's role in slavery and have seen other 'political apologies' made by various politicians but not one of them has ever apologized for signing-up the UK, to the alien ECHR or for keeping us as signatories.  

To say that the ruling elite is out of touch doesn't even come close. 

On the ECHR, the elite do not understand that the feeling of national impotence is not acceptable.  Westminster can no longer make laws with any expectation that they will have any force - every legal-aid financed lawyer (and that is almost all of them) salivates at the prospect of challenging laws passed by their own democratically elected representatives.  (Is that maybe a bit treasonous, on their part?)

On the EU, Labour at least recognizes the potency of feeling among the people and their demand for a referendum but Labour leader Ed Miliband has advised his followers (do we call them milipedes?) to abstain from the vote on the EU Referendum Private Members bill that is going through parliament.   The Conservatives are at least pushing this bill but, to David Cameron's shame, this isn't being put through as a Conservative government's measure - mustn't upset his Lib Dem 'allies' (though they seem to have no such sensitivity).

On immigration, all three main parties tread warily.  The liberal media and the so called equality industry (tax payer funded) jump on anyone that suggests perhaps we have got immigration wrong.  I am not against immigration but I do believe that pandering to immigrants and not requiring them to integrate into the existing indigenous population has been clearly wrong and I think that significant numbers of people believe the same.  Without I hope, sounding hypocritical though, Britain has reached a point where we cannot sustain increased immigration given our current economic model.  Rather than 'allowing' cheap labour in from other countries, shouldn't we be getting the workshy in our midst, off of welfare and into these jobs?  I say 'allowing' because in some cases, we are not authorized to stop people from the EU coming here.

On Welfare, Labour is so out of touch, it is not even funny.  The only people that they can count on are the direct beneficiaries of their 'Labour is the Welfare Party' policy.  The Conservatives spout on about austerity and the need for fiscal prudence but the minor cuts that they have made have been ineffective in reducing the overall debt burden of the country or its rate of increase.  I really can't fathom why the Conservatives don't go ahead and commit to deep cuts in public spending that the biased BBC, the Guardian and other 'lefties' accuse them of.  I think that the 'people' get it.  They understand that under Labour the UK overspent on a massive scale.  Those of them that are in work (in the private sector) understand that budgets have to be balanced and met and that when either the company's that they work for or they themselves overspend, a period of belt-tightening must follow.

On the environment, most people recognize that the punitive green taxes that are being imposed upon people, driving many old people into 'fuel poverty', are simply unnecessary gesture politics.  These policies will come home to roost when the lights start to go out in the coming years.  The despoiling of the physical environment, with useless wind turbines continues, and power stations are being closed at an unhealthy rate and not being replaced - 'brown-outs' loom.  Instead of addressing this with the urgency that people need, the elite are struggling to come to terms with the reality that the so called science behind all of this green scam has been repeatedly found to be false and falsified.  By the way, have you noticed how now that global warming' isn't actually occurring and people, even blinkered scientists can see this, these green fascists now call it 'climate change'.  We used to call that 'the weather' and just accept that it was changeable!  

Woolwich from a distance

The UK newspapers will splash the photograph of Drummer Lee Rigby across the front pages today.  You will see someone who was, by all accounts, a decent person and good family man who was proudly serving his country.

You might also see photographs of his murderers.  They are under-arrest and receiving treatment for gun-shot wounds in separate NHS hospitals, in London.  We can but hope that the NHS lives up to recent form (Mid Staffs)  and finds a way to end their lives, just as these two men so brutally ended the life of Lee Rigby.

You may see a photograph of Anjem Choudary.  He was the former leader of al-Muhajirou.  'Former' because this hate-filled organization is now banned.

What you won't see, is Anjem Choudary under-arrest.  Nor photographs of any of the other Islamic extremists that preach hate and violence towards their host or home-country populations.  Neither will you see politicians or read quotes from them advocating the arrest and detention of these people.  Instead you will hear all of the usual politically correct twaddle about 'this is not representative of Islam and Islam is a religion of peace, etc.'. 

Here is what I want to happen. 

Since the security services seem to have some knowledge (names and addresses, etc.)  of these hate-filled individuals, let's get them rounded-up (I know that sounds awfully reminiscent of Nazi, Japanese or even Boer war times but...) All of these that are not UK citizens - deport them - immediately.  If there is any faffing around about Human Rights or Immigration Tribunals, from the usual suspects, pass a quick law to overcome the issue and then deport them.  Parliament did this for so called 'dangerous dogs' so why not for a far greater menace?

For all of these, do not consider that they have any 'right to family life' of other such PC twaddle.  Lee Rigby no longer has any 'right to family life' - these monsters and their supporters, took that away!  So deport them and their families. 

The remainder should only be UK citizens, review their citizenship status and if at all possible, revoke this and deport them and their families.  If they were not born in the UK, then deport them! Simples!

Review all that are receiving state benefits and subject them to a very rigorous review of eligibility.  Then assign either DWP personnel or Police resources to follow them and monitor their communications 24/7.  It is not as if the police are doing anything to actually clean-up other crime, anyway.  So they won't be being diverted.

Prosecute those Imans that preach hate towards the West and our way of life.  The Police and the Crown Prosecution Service find time to chase after anti-homosexual hoteliers  and Social Services go after UKIP supporters, surely they can target those that would kill us on the streets of our cities and towns?

Re-establish controls on the UK border - if the EU protests or says a word - tell them to go to the hell, where these killers will end-up!

Until such time as Muslim community leaders consistently stand-up and speak for their community and say 'we condemn this violence and we will support all efforts to eradicate it and, we unequivocally support the actions taken by the democratically elected UK Government' then exclude them from any and all discussion forums on how to solve the problem.  Their constant equivocation - "yes, we condemn this but you have to understand, that our young people see what is happening in Iraq/Afghanistan/Palestine etc. and ...." is seen for the hollow words that they represent.  They need to continually say 'we condemn this act and those that carried it out'. 

Until they do, they are part of the problem, not the solution.  Make them suffer - no funding from the state, in any form, national or local, nor the National Lottery for their community, none whatsoever.  And do not allow them to receive overseas funding!  It is time to wake-up and to stop fulfilling Lenin's 'prophesy' that the 'capitalists would sell him the rope, with which to hang them'.  In this case UK taxpayers are funding this fifth column of murderers in our midst, and their fellow travelers.  Time to stop!

Some might accuse me of being 'hate filled' or promoting a hate 'agenda'.  I will plead guilty to hating anyone that kills innocent people that are going about their daily lives - and I mean anyone.   This post, if it is anything, is a 'rant' against the UK politicians who, just as on so many other issues, ignore the will of the people. 

Get a polling organisation to ask this question. 
        Do you think that the UK Government should immediately deport Abu Qatada to Jordan
        and then ignore any sanctions imposed by any UK or European Court?  Yes or No

I would expect an overwhelming Yes result.  I would also expect the UK Government to ignore the result.  The UK Government, as with other Western governments, do not represent the people that elect them, they rule over them in what they believe is some kind of paternalistic / maternalistic way, because 'they' know best.  It is precisely this pandering to political correctness that has led us to this state, where we care more for minorities of any sort, than we do for the majority, except that is, one the minority is one and he is a soldier serving his country.  Then the government and the system dives behind platitudes and wrings its collective hands. 

For the UK Government, Condemnation is a just word in the dictionary that comes between acquiescence and cowardice and can be trotted out in a 'template' speech to hide the fact that really, they don't give a damn and have no plans to do anything concrete to correct the situation !!
