Thread: European Courts put Britain at risk from Terrorists

European courts put Britain at risk from terrorists, David Cameron warns - Telegraph

Should the European Courts be allowed to over rule our courts when someone has come into the country to seek asylum, then wants to turn on the country that gave them a safe place?

Should judges within the European Courts be allowed to change our laws to suit their needs, our laws were made to keep people safe, sometimes they don't work, I am the first to agree, however when someone is working against our principles, then our laws should not be used as a haven to abuse our system that could endanger others, because this is changing the system to suit your needs.

A simple word like pure, could be banned , because one person finds it offensive, it could be the most friendly jesture in the world. Sensible more mature people would look at words or judgements from a different perspective, a friendly multi-cultural world should really look within what is in front of them, before they decide to change the world to suit one persons needs.

I would rather be among the pure and kind no matter what our race, then someone who uses the tools of kindness against you.

Hello, Lorraine.

The rhetorical question at the beginning of your message reminds me of the question put forth to the Gibraltarians on the occasion of the 1967 self-determination referendum, roughly reading like this – in spirit if not in letters : "Do you wish to stay with Britain and retain all the political and economic advantages that it would represent, or leave and join the fascist state of Spain and remain under-developed for decades to come?"

In fact, the European Court of Human Rights (a part of the Council of Europe and entirely separate from the EU, by the way) is well aware of the necessity of striking a balance between human rights and the rights of sovereign nations: to wit, the fact that the vast majority of individual claims submitted to that court are rejected.

Conservative governments such as Cameron's, on the other hand, are usually much prejudiced in favour of the rights of nations, and they have their way of packaging the issues.

I would take the Daily Telegraph's report with more than one grain of salt. JR

they are scumbags who put everyones lives at risk.

Jaques,my point remains that we let people within the country that seek asylum, only for the benefit to turn society against each other.
At what point would you do that? If you were in fear of your life from another country you would infact try to get it across to the world the problems that you are having, you would not try to preach another system to the country you entered, you would infact try to change the unjustice of the rights you have moved from.
If you read the Long Journey, Not without my daughter, and many others I presume, they don't talk about the country they are in, they talk of the country they where in?
Cameron has a point, he looks to secure the people within.
The EU needs to reflect on this, don't get me wrong there is good and bad in all society, however, when you move the goal posts for entry, then you also need to move the goal posts to make the country a safer place.
