So the European Court..?
of Human Rights is now telling the UK that to imprison a murderer for a whole life sentence (i.e until he dies) is a breach of his human right.
I note that there is no mention of the human rights of the victim or victims, whose lives were so brutally cut short.
It's past the time when the European Court stopped interfering in our affairs. It was because of them that it took 10 years to get rid of the terrorist Abu Qatada.
Perhaps we should bring back capital punishment.
Hang murderers like we used to and the E.C.O.H.R wouldn't be able to complain about whole life sentences.

Ok, what you wrote wasn't exactly true.
All it wants is the judgement to be reviewed, this ruling effects only 39 criminals and it doesn't in any away mean any of them can get out.
All they want is for it to be reviewed occasionally, like ever 15 years!!
As its the Home Secretary who decides, no one is getting out.
We wrote the ECHR in 1953!
As for hanging, we git rid if it because of the errors we made, not because of the ECHR.

When a person is banged up for a real life time, it seems only reasonable to review their case about every 15 years or so. This does not mean they will be allowed out, it's just a review. In any event, no matter what any court either here in UK or the EU may say or think, public opinion in UK counts for a great deal when it comes to reviewing the cases of someone who has murdered a child or children. You know who I'm talking about. Such a person or persons cannot be allowed out because the reality is that there are already probably more than 100 potential executioners just waiting to hack this person up. Far safer to keep them inside.

That is not what the judgement says. The ruling is merely that it is a breach of human rights not to allow a whole life sentence ever to be reviewed - and before 2003, it could be.
Capital punishment was abolished for very good reasons, not least that it is impossible to review the case of an innocent person who was hanged.
As for Abu Qatada, you presumably believe that torture is an acceptable way to obtain evidence. Try moving to the USA where they believe that it is, at least in the case of waterboarding in Guantanamo Bay. I'm sure you'd be happier.

All the ECHR are saying is that prisoners with full life tariffs should be allowed to have reviews, not that they have to be released like certain papers like the DM are saying, it won't alter the fact they will stay in jail - one prisioner has had at least 6 reviews for crimes he committed in 1966 and is still in jail..
