The Kintyre Forum

A prisoner who was due in court refused to leave his cell,saying it infringed on his human rights.

Prison officers were powerless to remove him, and had to attend court without him.

Where is it all going to end??

When are the politicians going to have some moral backbone and repeal the idiotic Human Rights Charter??


There used to be a saying "only in America",not true anymore.

The court proceedings should go on without him.. It should be his right to go to court or not, but if he doesn't, he should be in contempt of court and have some extra time tacked onto his sentence.

Hang em high - hang em high

If he demands to be hung high, so be it

inmate somewhere in the states is suing the jail because the jail was too easy to escape from, which he did, by trying to climb down a 40 foot wall, fell and hurt himself so now suing the jail.
Lawyers who take this kind of case should be disbarred.

i sympathise with the prisoner, i hate leaving my cell too, i'm in mysel just noo
