The Brits: Terrorist Rights

lgf: Bin Laden's Right Hand Man Set for Life in Britain

In a blog article from Little Green Footballs, we learn that the 'rights' of an immigrant Terrorist ("One of the world's most dangerous terror suspects") has recently been held by British judges to supersede the rights of the British citizen to protect his country, and the world, from terrorist predations of Islamic radicals.

While I've goaded The Brits in the past because of their lamentable record on such issues of Yob Control, National Health Service and Firearms Control, all previous issues pale in comparison to this, the Nanny State's lack of concern for State Security.

Although I abhor the Brits' lack of realistic comprehension of the minimal requirements to sustain a Socialist State, this incident exceeds the limits of disbelief.

The security of the state being the primary goal of any government, one would seem justified in expecting that the nation-state which gave us James Bond as a model would be, at least, minimally able to comprehend that when you have Ernst Stavro Blofeld in your grasp, you would at least make an effort to retain control of your greater enemies.

Not so The Brits, who are entirely willing to use their prison system as dustbins for their own citizens, and in fact are widely known (publicized) to cite their natural-born citizens for leaving dustbins on the curb. Today, they not only cite their citizens for leaving their garbage cans on the curb, but the penalties for that offense are more strenuous then those for being a terrorist.

I give up. The Brits would be well advised to rescind all laws penalizing the private ownership and use of handguns, because they must perforce rely on the private citizen to defend their paltry nation against the predation of terrorists.

Lord knows that the British Government will provide no defense. Rather, the British Government is setting free Known Terrorists more frequently than they are arresting them ... and they subsidize them as well!

Notes to Brits:
  1. don't throw anything away;
  2. Get a Gun.
