I believe you're referring to the Human Rights Act 1998 however, the
ECHR, has been ratified gradually over the past 50 years or so already.
The Human Rights Act 1998 was intended to incorporate anything that had
been left out and to uphold the commitment of the UK to the judgements
of the European Court of Human Rights. Hence, it would force the UK to
be bound by those judgements. I wouldn't quite go as far as to say that
British citizens had previously had no rights whatsoever prior to the
Human Rights Act 1998. See the case of R v Secretary of State for the
Home Department, ex parte Brind (1990) for more details on this.

No, the emergency legislation did not infringe the rights guaranteed by
the ECHR but instead the procedures and rights under the Police and
Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1985 regarding detention for a prolongued
period without the warrant from the Magistrate's bench.

They only have a majority when the back bench Labour MPs agree with the
government's policies.

They only have power of delay for up to 12 months. The exception is
Finance Bills where they have no power of delay. Under the Parliament
Acts 1911 and 1949 the legislation has to be reintroduced in the House
of Commons at the next session of Parliament for the House of Parliament
to have the Bill approved by the Monarch without the approval of the
House of Lords. Due to the time constraints in the House of Commons and
the expense to the tax payer Bills that have been delayed are not
usually re-introduced.

However, if such a thing did happen then the Queen's Privy council would
be able to pass an Order in Council to uphold the constitutional right
to elections preventing the Bill from being approved by the Monarch
(Royal Assent).

Beyond that, the European Convention on Human Rights has direct effect,
both horizontally and vertically and is binding. The rights regarding
elections and the death penalty in the ECHR will still be applicable as
to such time as the UK government withdraws from the ECHR and repeals
all ratifying legislation.

Beyond even that, the UK is bound by EU law which issued the Human
Rights Directive 1995 which required that all member states and states
requesting membership of the EU must sign up to and ratify the ECHR.

The fact that there are strong economic and political reasons for the UK
to remain in the EU would therefore result in the UK Government not
attempting to breach the ECHR or EU law.

Beyond even all that, the UK is bound by United Nations resolutions
regarding elections.

The armed forces would frogmarch him out of 10 Downing Street and off to the
Tower.

Hee hee, put thumb screws on him too!

On a serious note, I forgot to mention that constitutional law governs
elections and therefore, the removal or change of elections must be
approved by the people in a referendum as in all major changes in
constitutional law.

The constitutional monarchy, Desmond (and Karlos)

This means that the loyalty of the armed forces is ultimately to Her
Majesty, not to a concept of nation embodied by the individual who is also
their commander-in-chief.

Therefore, there is no conflict for the armed forces if the government
attempts to seriously abuse its position, and this makes it impossible for
the government to get away with doing so - quite unlike the situations in
France or the US.

The British constitution although not written is made up of etiquette
and common law. Just because the British constitution isn't written as
it is in other countries doesn't mean Britain doesn't have one.

Of course, Mark. It's always necessary for the monarchy to keep the
rabble in line. And what better way to do so, then application of military
might on the very people they are sworn to defend?

There is no 'my thread,' desi. That's your problem... that 'ego' of
your frightens you, like the other words I've mentioned. I believe it
was Cicero (regardless, it is not 'original'), who remarked "At the feast
of the ego, everyone leaves hungry.." So do not presume you have
any special insight to add here, which would dominate the discussion,
and everyone would remark how brilliant and insightful you are, when
most of your comments are recognizable 'meaningless drivel.' Take
it backchannel if you expect privacy. And I'm actually not trying to be
rude to you here. The fact is you're just insignificant to both me,
and this present argument, since you have nothing exceptional to offer.

ROTFLMAO -- 'rights' COME from 'the government.' What the
government provides, they can certainly take away. The
government cannot abrogate what it doesn't give, of course.
But that simply implies one is left with NOTHING in respect
to 'rights,' if presuming that it hasn't come from the government
to begin with. Because they ALL comes from the government.
Nature provides no 'rights.' Only man does so. Or perhaps
you'd like to explain the 'rights' that exist from nature which
are provided to the starving child in Africa, that are presumably
the same 'rights' that those enjoying comfortable lives in the
industrialized hold. The government cannot abrogate the
'law of gravity,' but 'rights of man' do not exist as a 'law of nature.'
They only exist as 'a law of man.' And those 'laws' can
certainly be abrogated. So, yes, desi... you have the 'right
to gravity,' and no government can 'abrogate' that 'right.'

But then I don't think France or the USA has a
democratic government. Western Democracy is
a great big con trick, its a better con trick
than that of communist centralised democracy
(which wasn't) but the 'people' do not rule and for
that we must thank our lucky stars.

Forget it, man. It was a *whoosh!*, except that he'll claim it wasn't,
because the ANONYMITY (or otherwise) of his 'handle' does not cut to the
TRUTH of what he has to say, and the OBSCENITY present in the post's of
THE GANG only serve to indicate that when he calls into QUESTION the
morality of the DP, especially (but NOT ONLY) in relation to the
square of the HYPOTENUSE, then Apate could ONLY have been trying to
indicate, through the ONLY medium available to her, i.e. the feral
APOSTROPHE, that this was nothing other than and let me be VERY clear
in case THE GANG should doubt his word as if he had one, that this was
clearly A LIE BY DESI, and that when CICERO made his BLATANTLY
oblique insult, that no one took it seriously, because the AT0MIC
weight of hydrogen had not yet been DETERMINED to be in EXCESS of 7.5
raised to the tenth power, and that EVEN IF a comparable SIN wave had been
able to be PLOTTED, there can be no doubt that this was AN ATTEMPT TO RAPE !!

In other words, he doesn't have a clue.

It might have been similar but it wasn't the same. Another has
flamed me a number of times for saying that 'the people' are not
fit to rule and therefore elect representatives to do it for them.

Sounds like desi being 'pseudo-intellectual.'
Rationality in Desi's posts - Hiroshima August 1945.
Anyone other than me see the distinct resemblance?
Anyone still wonder why I refer to them as 'mindless drivel'???

Repeating... ROTFLMAO. You apparently make these things up as you
go along. Individual people cannot provide 'rights.' That's a form of vigilante
thinking. Since it presumes I can give you the 'right' to kill another. Of
course, you oaf... once you refer to 'the people' in the collective sense,
their 'rights,' are derived from the governments that exercise authority
over the subjects (citizens), which are this 'collection' of people. No one
person decides 'rights,' nor can a collection decide 'rights' unless it is
governed. Even the Crips and the Bloods know this. These governments,
as you say, codify it into law. But that law can be as easily changed as
it was codified. There is nothing that cannot be abrogated by the government,
even if it has been written into law. My point is that there is NOTHING
eternal about any 'right' or any 'law.' Now if you define 'whim' as meaning
it cannot be done in a trivial manner, of course not. Except under
some extreme forms of government. But if you imply it CANNOT
be done, that's not true. Thus, 'rights' don't exist in a sense of
'an absolute right.' Nor does the law come from 'the people'
in the sense of 'must come' or 'the entire collection,' since much
law comes from those we appoint to make law, and the law they
make comes from THEM.

Sure... that's why you call things you don't understand
'pseudo-intellectual.' But that's cool... You've shown yourself to
be bi-illiterate. Ignorant in two languages (I love it). And I think
every time you say 'silver bird' I'll say 'bi-illiterate.'

Through all the 'mindless drivel' that desi now provides (which I'm afraid
nothing short of an exorcism could help), one thing stands clear, and true
and undeniable -- Desi hates victims. He hates the Mother's of victims.
He hate them with a ferocious, white-hot., blazing intensity. The victims
are not those murdered, but those who the state would execute. There
are no individual murderers in desi's world... only the State can murder. And
the Mother of the son, who is no longer considered murdered in desi's
topsy-turvy world, has no right to grieve -- since that makes her perverse,
and makes her the thing that desi hates (and fears) the most -- a 'deathie.'

No, sport... I leave that for you... The 'Wanking Giant,' I believe you found
yourself named. I simply call them the way I see them. BTW -- I find
myself, and my wife does as well, disgusted by the behavior off the
'fans' in the Tour de France, since they shout "Doo PAY," "Doo PAY,"
(Drugs... Drugs), at Armstrong, who has NEVER failed a drug test,
while the Festina team, led by the popular Virenque, was thrown out
of the 1998 tour for drug possession. Rather uncivilized behavior, if
you ask me. Their manners have gone totally down the toilet since
1 Jun. Any possibility it is the neo-French influence?

Addition new meaning to the phrase 'None so blind.. as those who cannot
see.' Perhaps you'd like to see your Bin #3... the one holding your posts
which contain more than 'mindless drivel?' It's empty, you know. Turn it
upside down... bang on it's bottom... nothing but dust. Now. bins #1 and
#2... they're full as can be... and huge meatflies are feasting on the 'mindless
drivel' you've written that's ended up there.

But that's probably the reason you're obsessing so. So remind us
again of how you called the Mother of a just murdered child -- perverse?
I can guarantee that I'm obsessing about that bloodthirsty, and
sickening comment of yours. Do you kick dogs because they whine in
pain, as you 'morally' kicked her, as well??

Well, well, well... what have we here? Anyone see a touch of
the 'mindless drivel,' I talk about coming from desi. Do you kick
'them,' when they wait too long at a pedestrian crosswalk as well?

I know full well what 'drugs' are in French.. but that is NOT what
they are shouting, you moron. What they shouted is NOT
French... so I reported what they MEANT. Which is exactly
what you ASKED for. The report was on the newswire, and it
would have been silly to put it in the correct sound, because the
'correct sound' is NOT what they were shouting. Again, I see
you as bi-illiterate... ignorant in TWO languages. They were
bastardizing (you MUST know what THAT is) the French word
for 'drug,' by a moronic yelling meant to imply 'dope,' in the sense
of 'drugs,' I simply put it into what they MEANT. Again.. isn't
that what you asked?

Actually, the reporters got it screwed up as well, since they wrote
it that way yesterday, and in another report today, another reporter
said they shouted "Dop_AY! Dop-AY." I only report what I see in
the news. Since I didn't actually HEAR them. Armstrong remarked
after with "Perhaps that's part of the reason the people are so angry
on the climbs." "They would rather have a new winner every year,
a new winner every day, a constant evolution." So, you've simply
proved that you intended to demonstrate some 'pseudo-intellectualism.'
Still suffering from that bi-illiterate inferiority complex. You really
need to stick to 'French Feminist Literature,' where they don't
shout 'Doo Pay, Doo Pay,' or 'Dop_AY, Dop_AY.'

That isn't funny, Desmond. A Down's Syndrome sufferer
is not an idiot and even if s/he were it is not for you to imply
that s/he was.

What more can we expect in the way of 'sensitivity' from someone
who has insulted the Mother of a murdered child by calling her
'perverse'? And in his statement that he would immediately
release a proven pedophile murderer, if he had only the choices
of execution or such release. And his 'prayer' for escaped
murderers. Clearly, we have seen the face of 'evil,' here and before...
and his name is 'Desmond.'

Diminished intelligence is an awful long way from idiocy.
Down's Syndrome sufferers have been know to pass their
driving tests in the UK and hold licenses. If anyone
has had the pleasure of knowing a sufferer here, s/he will
know that they can be delightful company as well as
being able to hold a simple but reasonable conversation.

Desi doesn't 'like' them, because they are not 'sophisticated'
enough to lie, or 'cunning' enough (which desi equates to
'intellectual') to be duplicitous.' The most gratifying feeling in
the world is to feel the 'pure innocence,' that comes from a
radiant smile of coming in last... but trying. There are a
great many values that they hold... which we should wish
that WE hold. I wonder what the murder rate is of those with
Down Syndrome? Anyone ever hear of someone having Down
Syndrome murdering?
