David Cameron: burglars leave human rights at the door

[Peoplesoft bloke]

It's a shame that this thread died on the second post, because the topic is actually quite interesting. It's a massive statement to say that the human rights are left at the threshold. The Fritzels of this world would have a field day!

Except he said Burglars - not everyone. It's a meaningless populist soundbite designed to appeal to the hoardes of braying proles.

The topic was burglars and he said it about burglars, easy to extend to anyone who attempts to enter house with criminal intent - murders, rapists etc.

Maybe it was designed to appeal to "to the hoardes of braying proles" as you put it, maybe, however that beats some tulip of a law that appears to burglars and alike.

I think you were missing the point - my response was pointing out that any change to the law wouldn't favour Frentzel and his ilk. Cameron isn't proposing to change the law, probably because he realises there is no need.

I agree - it's complete tulip to get Frentzel into this.
