Human rights

under a sea of obscure laws and ‘uman rights. Not surprisingly this has created an ocean of opportunity that is now promoting a brand new source of riches for these privateer gannets. Floating accommodation, which will no doubt develop into their next legal piracy campaign. I dread to think of the numbers of them brushing up their life jackets and briefcases to scramble on board for their latest money grabbing cruise.

As usual the thing that once more emerges from the actions of these despicable con merchants is that they yet again find themselves in a win win situation. Lawyers of course never lose. Well it’s about time they were curbed. From their persecution of our brave servicemen, to getting murderers and rapists released back on the streets, most of these people are not interested in justice, all they are concerned with are their own self­centered ends ­ and the human rights laws are a licence for them to print (tax payers) money. Well I think that these ‘rights’ should be resolved during trial.

Judges should have the power to decree human rights ‘denied’ or ‘minimal’. Lawyers receiving legal aid remuneration from the public purse should also have their fees capped at a reasonable level. Weed out the ambulance chasers and those without any moral conscience whatsoever and their ill­gotten gains could be put toward the branches of law and order that put the law abiding public first. Not as a means for lawyers to buy another villa in the south of France!

Many thanks for all your recent letters. Particularly those of you who have sent such kind and caring messages concerning my recent accident which resulted in a broken shoulder. Wonderful attention from our local hospital services. Thank goodness it didn’t happen in the UK. Mix their NHS problems with their money grabbing union leaders and lawyers and I’d probably still be waiting for treatment.

Keep the faith.
