OT EU Arrest warrents.
What do you all think of this email I had sent?
Scandalous Surrender of British Citizens’ right to a fair trial Hello All.....I wanted to alert you, if you were not already alerted and alarmed, to the current application to British Citizens of the "European Arrest Warrant". I ask you to forward this E-mail to any or all of your choice AND to contact your MP recording your alarm, demanding a suspension of the application of this Law, pending a Review, (currently proposed by David Davis MP). This Law permits the police of any EU Country to demand the extradition of Britons accused of crimes, misdemeanours allegedly committed in that country......see front page "Sunday Telegraph" 22 August 2010. Currently on average 3 British Citizens a day are being extradited under this atrocious provision. This legislation was passed by the Blair Govt, with Blunkett's support a couple of years ago. Blair of course needing to ingratiate himself with EU to secure all their perks subsequent to his vacation of No 10.: Blunkett’s naivity being adequate explanation, I guess his dog had more sense. Crucial is that :- (i) no prima facie case has to be made in a British court, and (ii) a British court is FORBIDDEN to examine the outlines of the case. If EU Country, or the US demands, the Briton goes. [Recall Blair, in the House of Commons, when the “NAT West 3” issue of extradition to US was raised... "There is nothing I can do".. and he was the PM of the UK!] Britons are especially vulnerable travelling in those bastions of social justice, Bulgaria, Rumania, Greece and Italy, (and wait until Turkey is in!) ..where incarcerations for a year or more, under vile conditions, ill treatment of accused and defence witnesses, are common. And these for trivial motoring offences as well as other alleged crimes quite clearly NOT committed by the accused. How do you disprove the assertion of a Bulgarian Traffic cop that you were not speeding, nor did you pass through a red light? The cases cited in The Sunday Telegraph (q.v.) are so numerous and so horrifying that our Govt MUST suspend and then amend this. On that depressing note, we wish you all good fortune and advise you to travel carefully...but do also make some noise. Roger & Mo Skinner = |
To about the same effect as Defra trying their damnest to close down all rhododendron nurseries in the UK because of Oak death, whilst the Dutch just ticket a plant passport to everything that passes through holland whether its checked or not! Its just the English way, it has always been the same!
