2/17/13, "May slams judges over deportation," UK.msn.com
"Home Secretary Theresa May has accused judges of "subverting" British
democracy and making the streets of Britain more dangerous by ignoring
new rules aimed at deporting more foreign criminals.
In a scathing
attack, she vowed to introduce primary legislation to restrict the
human rights of offenders after a minority of the judiciary decided to
"ignore parliament's wishes". But she warned the delay in getting that
onto the statute book would inevitably mean "more victims of violent
crimes committed by foreigners in this country".
MPs approved new
guidance for judges in July last year making clear the right to a family
life - set out in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights -
was only qualified. The change was designed to end a string of cases
where it was used to justify granting foreign criminals the right to
remain in the UK rather than being deported."...
