Ive heard Rupes and Andrew Cowan have a consortium waiting in the wings to buy the club

The European Convention on Human Rights was drafted in the 1950s as a response to fascism. Each right arose, phoenix-like, as a rejection of a particular evil. The ECHR enshrined classic common law rights such as the right to be treated humanely and to a fair trial. It also included rights that were responses to particular fascist evils, such as the right not to have family or religious life interfered with by the state.

This is where the law is an ass A terrorist is released yet this guy gets two years for being given a present by the Iraqi Army Sgt Danny Nightingale was sentenced to 18 months by a court martial for illegally possessing the 9mm Glock – given to him by the Iraqi army furious military wife whose SAS hero husband has been jailed for possessing a war trophy pistol said the Army “hung him out to dry”. Sgt Danny Nightingale, who has served his country for 17 years, was sentenced to 18 months by a court martial last week for illegally possessing the 9mm Glock – given to him by the Iraqi army for outstanding service. Now the special forces sniper’s devastated wife Sally claims he was betrayed and that the family face losing their home after his pay was stopped. She said yesterday: “I had to tell my two daughters – Mara, who is five and Alys, who’s just two and a half – that daddy wasn’t coming home. “I cannot bear to tell them that he’s in prison and will not be home for a long time. “Danny has been hung out to dry. He is a hero who has been betrayed by the Army and the Government.” Danny will be discharged from the Army and get a criminal record. Even his former comm*anding officer in Iraq blasted the sentence. Lt Col Richard Williams said: “His military career has been ruined and his wife and children face being evicted – this is a total betrayal of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country.” Danny had planned to fight the charge but pleaded guilty after he was warned he could face five years in prison if he lost. He was given the Glock in 2007 after serving in Iraq fighting al-Qaeda and planned to donate it to his regiment as a war trophy. But he came home in a hurry when two friends were killed there, leaving colleagues to pack up his equipment – including the pistol. And when he collapsed during an SAS fundraising trek in 2009, experts said he suffered severe memory loss. Last year, he was living in a house with another soldier whose estranged wife claimed he kept ammo there and police found Danny’s Glock in a raid. Sally added: “Two expert witnesses said it was completely possible that his brain injury meant that he never knew the gun existed.” Danny’s legal team aims to appeal. His lawyer Simon McKay said: “I consider the sentence to be excessive and the basis of the guilty plea unsafe.” Its amazing this country, We live in the UK where it is OK for Muslims to burn our flag, shout abuse at our soldiers, and we free Clerics who public speak on the UK streets calling for Muslim brothers throughout the world to kill uk soldiers, and we jail our SAS heros.

Spot on Badger "the authorities have time and again proved to be incompetent and as such the lawyers have been able to exploit this incompetence"

I uphold the principles of innocent till proven guilty as mentioned on the saville thread . The hr act is an ass and there are many cases of it being used for the wrong purposes . It's used in employment cases notably grievances of one kind or another

Mr green I. The conservatory ? I thought the krankies were swingers

Yes I have a number 70 and 80 prog s

Badger No I am not a better legal expert than SAIC , but you know exactly where I am coming from . The HRA has been abused and distorted on many occassions. even a couple get compensation under the act becuase they were told they were having a boy or a girl and infact the had the opposite this compenstaion was done under the said act. I judge from your comments that this lovely caring man that you appear to be defending should not be deported. So tell me do you think he is innocent of the alleged crimes he has committed or do you think the Jordanians etc have made the story up. Do you feel sad the Capt Hook was recently deported. In my opinion which is not worth a great deal qatada should not be in this country nor should other individuals who committed similar atrocities

Okay Badger im referring to the misuse and miinterpreation of the human rights act. Any body can use it to postone court ruling for what ever they want to use it for, there are lawyers out there who use it to get rich, Yes there are genuine cases that need to be protected. but it appears to be a bit of a free for all. You say Norwegians dont use torture which is probably correct but Assange has used the same arguments etc to avoid deportation to sweeden , still the could thiong about him holed up in an embassy in london is the folk that stood bail for him have now lost it.

Stain . Sadly One part of me does say that if its the only way to get some of these judges and lawyers to see sense in the stupitdy of their decision. I hope they do not but those that have made that judgement have now put many people living here at greater risk. What would happen if brevik was to escape and comne here and pleaded his human rights would be infringed. Jundges and lawyers would know doubt try to justify his life woulf be endanger if he was sent back to Norway The law is an ass at times and this judgement is just plain stupid

What is up with our legal profession . The police arrest someone for a photo that was posted on a social media site showing a burnt poppy . Now this guy is about to be released because his human rights will be infringed if he is sent back to Jordan . Do these law people not realise he killed innocent people . He has lost his rights for the murders he has committed . Now it will cost the tax payer millions to keep him here . I hope he commits another crime of here killing people . Then these Mamby pamby lawyers might wake up to real world on the stupidity of their judgement . I hope he doesn't commit murder but if its the only way to make the judges/ lawyers to wake up then so be it

Bexy Your not a c**T by any stretch of the imagination. but you sometimes come across as an argumentive old git much like my self LOL

aintforever wrote Maybe he is related to or is friends with someone who had a family member gunned down by the British army? Of course the IRA do murder innocent people or soldiers. So are you saying the prison officer who was shot by one of the many IRA factions was not gunned downed but accidently shot as they were shooting rabbits etc. Im somewhat offended by your comments thats what British Soldiers did out here in Ireland? I i

I will not call him a c*** but he is a hypocrite and needs to do some history lessons As for bloody sunday a certain Mr McGuinness was there stirring it up, he had blood on his hands , I have never heard a formal apology from him or adams for all the atrocities they were involved in. Some folk need to do their history on the events that led up to bloody sunday , there was massive provocation occuring between both sides. I know I was doing my second tour of duty in derry at the time

As skintsaint and others have said wearing the poppy is not about british servicemen , its about others that were killed in the wars including irish folk on both sides of the political divide. While cameron and co may have apologised for the evens of bloody sunday > I hear no apology from the footballer re all the IRA atrocities they committed, And who can forget the Omagh rememberance bombing. Clearly he has. And I wish Rio ferninand who shut the F**K up

I should read the op comment but Scottish water are going to ask us users if we are willing to pay more for a better service . What the **** if we had a service in the first place

Here I sit cleaning my medals for the rememberance parade. Tomorrow wearing this season shirt . Is our loss of form etc anything to do with us not wearing traditional red and white stripes ? I remember the year we for relegated we suddenly changed to red sleeves . Only a theory but I do not like the minimal stripes on the shirt

I have nver been fond of the BBC in recent years , (see previous threads about the BBC) seems my suspicions about their own agendas are now being confirmed. BBC should reportthe news not create the news. Sky are just as evil. The report that Messham had apologised for mistaken identity was only reported by sky some time aftermessham spoke. and all they could say was it is allegedly being reported that messham had made an apology . Really Really shoddy journalism.

For the first time in a few weeks I really believe we will win tomorrow . Saints are on the up

They were not aggressive against Albion . In fact at times the were like pedestrians in west quay on a Saturday before Xmas

Your being sarcastic pap ? Either that or you have a wry sense of humour . I think the BBC are shutting bricks for releasing his name . Good old news night

@BBCBreaking: Alleged victim Steve Messham apologises to Lord McAlpine for "mistaken identity" in historical Wales child abuse case http://t.co/Ufxy0GAm Sorry to say it but has Mr Messham scored an own goal? re his apology for mistaken identity? Will he be a creditable withness for any pending trial in the future. Better to say nothing to the press let the police deal with all the allegations Sky are not reporting Mr Messhams apology but instead are now reporting this individauls claims http://news.sky.com/story/1009280/care-home-abuse-victim-tells-of-sex-parties. Its is very very sad that youngsters have been abused but let the police investigate not the media. PS has Schofield been suspended yet?

Bletch I think the stuff on the various social media was suggesting that a number of names being bandied about re child abuse were were gay allegedly. I have seen as you no doubt names on here who were openly gay and have been accused of the abuse. No doubt the list that schofield had showed similar names that are bandied about on here. Welive in a sad society and if people are guilty then let the letter of law deal with it . not social media forums . Too many innocent people have had their lives ruined by malicious and false allegations. Just look at school playground antics which fuelled bullying in schools.

Just listened to radio Scotland they had Peter Tarchel on getting his comments about Cameron's remarks about witch hunts and gay folk . Well done Peter . But for the BBC they are clearly trying to make Cameron out as anti gay . I suspect the list that schofield had was about former dead folk who were known to be gay and allegedly abused children .

Your wish is my command pap http://news.sky.com/story/1007965/jimmy-savile-was-yorkshire-ripper-suspect
