Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
One of the biggest factors in this fiasco is a case of "too many cooks" etc. Too much publicity, too much media involvement and too much public opinion/hysteria without knowing any of the facts beyond what the papers and T.V moguls tell us. I mean, everyone of us is an expert fair-minded intellectual, well informed on international law, justice and world religion are we not? .( (Apropos of not much....There are more Jedi Knights ( about 7000) than Jews in the north east of England..and some 5000 Rastafarian worshippers of Haili Sellassi in England and Wales.says a recent survey.., proving little except our one-ness in all things)Hoboh wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 3:55 pmBut, But, but well according to J'Abbott anyway we should all hang our heads in shame, it's all our fault.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 3:37 pmAbsolutely no reason why she should be here now...

The basic facts tell us ,at the bottom of it all, a young girl leaves/elopes this country by choice with two friends (old enough to handle air travel across international borders, passport control and finance but not apparently savvy enough to know what they are at?) to be a jihadi freedom fighter, rejecting all our laws, rule and standards ( which at times do border on the lunatic level regarding human rights etc. ) in favour of marrying and raising children in an environ of hate and murder/manslaughter, guns bombs and religious lunacy. We should be taken to task for that? In the most impartial manner possible, the whole thing is utterly beyond ridiculous. That may well be a fair description as to what Britain has finally become in the year 2019 .
Let the authorities handle it, that's what they're paid for is it not?

And let us explore this concept of child: in one culture, someone who is 15 cannot, legally, vote, buy alcohol, and have sex. In another culture they can be married and bear their own children.
So when a child/adult fxcks off, sticking two fingers up at one culture, while being encouraged by the other culture, manages to get into deep shit, drops three children, then becomes an adult in both cultures' opinion, why are we talking about her as a child????
She's a fxcking adult, literally! She's made her own bed, and she can lie in it, literally!!!

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
Tango - I think this is something that should be debated openly as it is a highly complex issue and also raises some important issues beyond the simple facts of the case itself.
She was 15 when she left, and by definition a child. She was obviously influenced by someone to arrive at her beliefs, which opens the issue of grooming. There’s an argument to say she was a victim long before she set off for Syria. That happened in the UK, on our watch and involved a failure in our systems to safeguard. Should we be taken to task for that? Well, whatever your opinion on her, surely that’s something that needs to be acknowledged and looked into to try and prevent similar in the future?
Given the severity of what she’s ultimately done (arguably treasonous) and her lack of remorse I understand some people will want the harshest punishment possible and will feel that she should always have the accountability for her actions. I however feel that should be decided in a court of law, not by Sajid Javed. I think once we revoke one persons right to a trial before punishment, we start on a slippery slope. I know you mention human rights bordering on the ‘lunatic’, but I just don’t think a government can pick and choose who to apply them to. I believe human rights to be absolute principles.

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
As in the terrorist who just appealed against solitary confinement for such rights despite threatening his guards with attrocities? (Last couple of days or so). I believe in the law, but also common sense application of it.

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
I don’t know the ins and outs of the case, but I believe in his right to have his case heard by appeal if that is a right open to others in his position. At that point if appropriate it can be declined or upheld. If we start picking and choosing who is eligible for basic human rights, we enter really sketchy territory.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 5:59 pmAs in the terrorist who just appealed against solitary confinement for such rights despite threatening his guards with attrocities?

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
As I said above, common sense application. The bloke broke the law, was found guilty and jailed. Whilst today's prisons aren't exactly The Bastille or Alcatraz, they aren't supposed to be Butlins either. The judge sentenced him to pay for his crimes, not re-write the law to suit himself and his comforts. .jimbo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 6:13 pmI don’t know the ins and outs of the case, but I believe in his right to have his case heard by appeal if that is a right open to others in his position.

Which is why a basic principle of human rights being an absolute and applied evenly is necessary. Human rights aren't things we can just waive when we like and IF that is what we do, then ultimately we go down an incredibly slippery slope that I'm positive you don't want to travel down.

My reading of the point was that the criminals may have shown little regard for the human rights of the victims of their crimes?

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
Unfortunately it is a reflection of a society fed on a Daily Mail/Express/Sun/Torygraph diet and the self perpetuating nature of social media. People follow others they agree with and become giant echo chambers rarely exposed to real debate or discussion.jimbo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 1:05 pmThe discussion has moved a fair way from the original topic, but I do find it fascinating that adhering to human rights can be seen as controversial!TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 12:47 pmA whole legion of ambulance chasing defence lawyers and the inmates of our numerous prisons might possibly disagree...?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 12:31 pm

That is why such extreme views as "human rights aren't a good thing" have become legitimised in recent years.

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
If so then the very fact they are in prison is because they violated someone's human rights. That is the corrective/disciplinary action. But that does not take away their own basic human rights.jimbo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 1:07 pmMy reading of the point was that the criminals may have shown little regard for the human rights of the victims of their crimes?

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
I know less than Jimbo about the case (i.e. nothing). However, as I understand it, a prisoner attacked a guard and was handed a term in solitary confinement. He claims solitary is a violation of his human rights. So the question has nothing to do with the terrorist or this case but rather whether solitary confinement is cruel and unusual punishment for a violent or disorderly prisoner, and thus a violation of his human rights. I believe that solitary confinement has been used in prisons for a considerable time and I have never heard that it has been judged as a violation of human rights assuming it is for a limited term as punishment. If the guards had got together and beaten the crap out of him that would be a different question.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 12:31 pmYour common sense might be someone else's lunacy.....https://www.theguardian.com/society/201 ... l-measuresTANGODANCER wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 6:20 pmAs I said above, common sense application.

Re: Boiled eggs and Caliphate soldiers.
If you are tried, convicted then sentenced, your human rights should be limited to the very basics because plainly you have chosen to bugger up someone else's rights and dispensed with any of your responsibilities.
