Abu Qatada – the law at work

Not so long ago I made myself a little unpopular by posting a blog

Human rights are bigger than Abu Qatada

The law must be bigger than Abu Qatada. Once we ignore human rights for him we open the door for governments to ignore human rights for us all.

The tories are attacking human rights again

Once again the home secretary is attacking article 8 of the ECHR. She claims to do so because of concerns about immigration and deportation but that’s not the real issue.

I’d also planned to [...]
