Calls to leave the ECHR will double after this, and no wonder:
A double murderer who took a prison officer hostage and demanded the release of hate preacher Abu Qatada has been awarded a £240k taxpayer-funded payout. Fuad Awale was transferred to a special separation unit for dangerous convicts after he and another convict ambushed a jail worker and threatened to kill him. Awale used Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) to claim his segregation - designed to prevent him harming officers and radicalising inmates - had breached his right to life.
What Home Sec would be idiot enough not to appeal thi...
David Lammy, the Justice Secretary, has now agreed to pay £7,500 compensation and £234,000 legal costs after the convicted killer stated he had suffered 'severe depression'.
Oh. Of course. I forgot.
The High Court has ruled in favour of Awale's appeal to the ECHR, with a judge saying there had been a 'significant degree of interference with the claimant's private life', The Telegraph reports.
I know what you’re going to say, Reader, ‘who was the judge?’ It was, of course, the judge who let Harvey Willgoose's murderer go free early, Justice Naomi Ellenbogan!
Robert Jenrick, Conservative shadow justice secretary, has branded the decision a 'sick joke'. He said: 'Labour are cowing to terrorists and the human rights brigade. They must introduce emergency legislation to carve these monsters out of the ECHR immediately. If they don't, we will as soon as Parliament returns.'
Now, it's being reported on Twitter that he'll 'only' see about £7k of that, the rest going to the bloodsucking leeches lawyers acting for him. But even that's too damn much! And yes, I get my news from Twitter now, and will do, until the MSM starts doing its job properly.
Tax the compensation at 100%.

If, or when the wholly owned CCP/Islamist Labour party allows it, I would hope that publicity is given to incidents like this in the run up to elections. This Christmas day, while over 50,000 small boat invaders were in heated accommodation, given three meals a day, unlimited internet access on their taxpayer funded mobile phones and laptops, an estimated 7,500 ex military personnel, who had served their country and Sovereign, and risked their lives in doing so, were living rough on the street. While the last lot were no better, the current batch of numpties are doing their best to destroy the social fabric of this country in order to placate those who hate us.
