What about OUR human rights?

Whilst watching "Question Time?" last night in Cantebury, the issue of Human Rights was asked by one member of the public, concerning foreigners who had committed crimes within the UK and were due to be deported back to their country of origin.
As im sure you can respect, i was most supportive of such a notion, but the question also emerged concerning those criminals who fled to this country fleeing from persecution in their home lands. Should we deport them back to such places?
Now most of the panel (including Simon Hughes and Ken Clarke) were not supportive of this measure because it would "affect their Human Rights", but myself on the other hand...I could not be more in favour of deporting a foreign criminal out of the UK.
In my opinion, those foreigners who commit crimes in the UK have already forfeited their Human Rights, especially if they have committed murder, rape, assult, e.t.c.
It has always been my belief that the number one responsibility of any government is to protect the people, and to protect the people, you have to do whats best in our interests, and not whats best for those who have no regards for our safety (or our country) whatsoever.
One man in the audience actually summed it up very well, stating "why are we so concerned about protecting their human rights? What about protecting our human rights"?.......couldnt have said it better myself.
But then, you do get the minute few who would rather see a foreign criminal kept here at our own expense, such as one woman (who seemed rather irrate at the gentlemans remarks) claiming "How can you say that about them.....they are still human.....they are still people"?
Im afraid not madame.......in my opinion...i regard anyone who endangers the lives of my fellow citizens as anything but human. This government gets so wound up about protecting foreign criminals human rights that it completely forgets to protect the human rights of its own people, and you dont have to be a genious to see that something is wrong with that.
But then the question still remains of where do you deport them? Well...in my opinion......as long as its not in Britain...i couldnt care less. Im not saying that we should deport them back to their domestic country (after all, two wrongs dont make a right), but none-the-less, as long as they are outside of our British borders, they are not my case to worry about. If you want to endanger our lives, you pay the consequences......deportation.
But then, saying that, you still have to ask yourself the question of "Why are they here in the first place"? After all, the European legislation towards asylum and immigration states that asylum seekers (fleeing from persecution in thier home country's) must claim asylum at the nearest, safest country to their domestic persecution........but since when did Britain become the nearest safe-haven for these people?



Should we deport foreign criminals back to their home countries?

The Da Vinci Code

I dont usually comment on recently released films, but after reading an article posted by Boris Johnson MP on the Da Vinci Code, i thought i might as well give my point of view towards the film (especially as im a confirmed Christian).
In all truth, i can understand why the Catholic church is fearing its release, after all, surveys show that over 60% of the adult population in Britain believe it to be true (which according to old Boris here, is about 7 million people in this country).
But being a Christian, most people would expect me to be completely against this book by author Dan Brown, believing that not only is it blasphemous, but also mocks the Catholic church by claiming that they have covered up the descendants of Christ who are supposingly living in France........not true.
In fact, when i have the time, the chances are that i will be visiting my nearest cinema in Newport (most likely with my girlfriend) and viewing this film which is supposed to be one of the best films of all time. Dont get me wrong, i cant exactly say that i agree with Dan Browns argument, i dont even believe that Jesus married Mary Magdalene (let alone had a child/children)...but then again, i also consider that Dan Brown (like the rest of us) is only human, and therefore (like most Christians in the world) conjure their own opinions to the meaning of the bible.
And im one of them. There are many situations in my life where i dont fully agree with the bible, such as its belief that all spiritual mediums are contradictory to God. Call me crazy, but i dont agree with this at all, as i regularly visit my family medium for advice and guidance in life, even though the bible forbids this...and i think its also the same with Dan Brown.
He may have his different opinions on the New Testament, but we cant judge him as being any less of a Christian as us......it is un-Christian to do that in the first place!
He may have created a best-selling book, which may have turned into one hell of a film, but lets not get carried away with this. It doesnt mean that his story must be added to the gospel...it simply means that, like most us, Dan Brown has differing opinions about the bible, and it is up to us whether we choose to believe it.




Does Dan Brown's book pose a threat to the Catholic Church and Christian beliefs world-wide?

The NHS Recession

As many of you may or may not know, i was recently forwarded to Cardiff University hospital on May 15th to have an inguinal hernia repaired (of which, is quite a serious proceedure and involves a long recovery time afterwards).
Despite the difficulty of this operation however, i was more than pleased with the turn-out of the surgery. The surgeons had done a fantastic job, and whilst staying in the ward over night, the staff were more than happy to give me the support and medical advice that i needed.
But even though the nurses were working day and night to make their patients as comfortable as possible, i was told by one student nurse named Kerry, that many of them were fearing job losses because of the NHS being several million pounds in debt, with excessive spending resulting in very little productive output.
Cardiff has not seen any job losses yet, but with its estimated £9 million short-fall, nurses are fearing job losses could soon be on the way (especially as the Royal College of Nursing has recently predicted over 7000 job cuts in the upcoming months).
But yet...our health secretary has the nerve to turn around and say that the NHS has experienced "its best year ever"!
Many of these nurses (including those who attended me) do a fantastic job looking after patients and keeping their wards on track...why should they have their jobs at risk because one socialist government can not utilise its spending plans accordingly?
Whats even worse is that these job cuts are set to only get worse, because as more and more worthless spending goes into the NHS, the more into debt that it becomes, with more job losses around the corner.
The most irritating part of this whole situation however, is that those nurses (in Cardiff University hospital and nationwide), who do fantastic work, may not even be there next year.......so much for Labour's promises of job security. Cheers Patricia.


How many more job losses will the NHS endure in the upcoming months?
