To those who didn't know, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and European Union have said that it is a violation of human rights to 1) give life sentences (forget about death sentences), 2) bar convicted criminals in prison from voting, and 3) deport criminal illegal immigrants with families in the country.
Imagine someone murdered your children in front of you. Now imagine that not only can you not seek the death penalty, but you can't even seek life in prison. Wow!
Some in the UK are upset about this, as they should be, but it seems like most of the government is going along with all of this BS. I used to respect the UK. I have very little left for it now (as a general concept. Of course there are many great individuals who live there).
The EU is a crock, and I see it more and more. And the UK has become a follower. It's quite pathetic what a century has done. It's like after WWII, people said to the UK, "You've owned much of the world for quite a while. But how would you like to have control of your internal affairs dictated by a government overseas?" Then, the UK responded, "Well that's a jolly good idea!" and decided over the next few decades to not only give up its colonies, but to also give up its own sovereignty and become a colony. That's how I think of the UK now.
To European countries that haven't joined the EU yet such as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Turkey and some former Yugoslavian countries, I say stay out...for your own good. The EU does not equal Europe. You might think that you're "cool" if you're part of the club, but I think it's best to stay out. Don't give up your sovereignty.
