| IRA man's family meets Orde |
| 2004-08-23 |
| The family of an IRA man who died during a security force operation at a County Armagh police station in 1987 is to meet Chief Constable Hugh Orde. Patrick Kelly was one of eight IRA men killed when troops opened fire during an attack on Loughgall police station. Erm, I believe this was the SAS.. His sister Mairead, who represents the relatives of those killed, said they were still trying to find out what happened. "We did have a successful judgement in 2001 that the men's right to life had been violated, under Article 2 of the European Convention," she said.

What happened was your Feinian scum of a relative was shot to mincemeat whilst trying to kill policemen. The men's right to life had been violated - I think they forfeited that right when they picked up an AK47 and decided to use it.. Grrr. |

| #8 I think it's time for a convention on human responsibilities, or is that too radical? |

| #7 Armagh used to be known as bandit country. I travelled through there in the 80s and early 90s. My NI friends used to tell me not to travel through there at night, for fear of carjacking. IIRC, the Provos even possessed some anti-aircraft shoulder fired missiles, which concerned the Brit forces. |

| #3 Howard - here's an article about the Tories' new proposals. "Tories target compensation claims New restrictions to combat the "compensation culture" and restrict people's ability to sue for damages are being proposed by the Conservatives. Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said public bodies such as hospitals and schools pay out billions a year in unjustified claims. On Monday he is expected to set out plans for limits on liabilities for directors and organisations. He also wants to scrap parts of the sex and race discrimination laws. Mr Davis said the laws positively encourage people to sue. The increase in claims for compensation is the result of a greater emphasis on people's rights as opposed to their own responsibilities, he said. ... The European Convention on Human Rights was adopted into UK law in 1998 under the Human Rights Act. It meant that citizens no longer had to take their case to Europe to enforce rights contained in the convention but could make challenges in the British courts. It meant that citizens no longer had to take their case to Europe to enforce rights contained in the convention but could make challenges in the British courts." Faster, please. |

| #1 Haven't the Tories been mooting the notion of scrapping the European Convention of Human Rights in the UK, if they get elected? About time, if you ask me. What a load of crap. |
