I know he wouldn't think they were stupid questions. If you click on the purple silk cross icon where all the followers are listed (Twitter profile) you can let me have your email address privately if you want. I think this will work, not sure how else I could contact you.<br /><br />Kind regards, JulesJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194966950654510250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-1372193080203628842010-11-17T13:33:11.916+00:002010-11-17T13:33:11.916+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194966950654510250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-68037697054386079142010-11-17T01:52:41.082+00:002010-11-17T01:52:41.082+00:00I would like to ask if there is anyway of me askin...I would like to ask if there is anyway of me asking some private questions? stupid silly questions.<br /><br />I am facing crown court trial shortly and there is so many questions I want to ask about prison life it is scary.<br /><br />I understand if you can't<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-9106900224774713692010-11-16T21:39:25.442+00:002010-11-16T21:39:25.442+00:00No they were violated.

No one shall be deprived of his liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure prescribed by law:"<br /><br />Now it is very clear that this is a right. It also states he is being deprived of his right. Or in other words, the state has permission to violate the right in certain circumstances. <br /><br />This means that criminals no longer have the right to liberty. Meaning that they do not apply equally to all, and therefore are not universal. Which is the premise I am arguing against.Tallguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-86314306301570215882010-11-16T18:44:01.374+00:002010-11-16T18:44:01.374+00:00@tall guy.

&qu...I would like to correct the second sentence. <br /><br />" Firstly, that human rights are inviolate and universal - they apply to the most despised as well as those most lauded."<br /><br />Um no. Very much no. Indeed laughably no. Or at least not from a legal perspective, which is what matters here, as the ECHR is a legal document not a moral document. It is important to make that distinction, something which this piece fails to do. <br /><br />The rights are not inviolate. The fact that Ben is sitting in a prison sell is proof of that, as Article 5 can be violated in prescribed circumstances, namely in his case conviction by a competent court.tall guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-65471058977900042092010-11-16T16:54:04.388+00:002010-11-16T16:54:04.388+00:00To Anonymous #2: it doesn't seem to me that we...To Anonymous #2: it doesn't seem to me that we should be imprisoning people for non-payment of a tax anyway.Jonathan-Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282408223758612187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-48153144920502306542010-11-16T10:59:32.823+00:002010-11-16T10:59:32.823+00:00Hi,

(and rightly so). No taxation without representation. Either someone is a member of society or they are not, and I believe we ALL are, prisoners or not.George Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840845595111346900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-11372113223450374602010-11-16T10:30:07.392+00:002010-11-16T10:30:07.392+00:00Couldn't they just make it part of the sentenc...Couldn't they just make it part of the sentence?
