Hear hear

"The public are sick to the back teeth of the human rights of criminals being put before the rights of decent law-abiding people, victims and taxpayers. The whole point of being in prison is that your liberties are taken away from you. What's the point of locking people up if this pseudo-court, with the help of Ken Clarke, is going to give them all their rights back?"

Well excuse me for pointing out the bleeding obvious, but surely the "point" is to point out that MPs giveth rights and MP's taketh them away.

Indeed so, but I suppose Davies is a back-bencher with not much clout.
