In the news today there are criminals murderes, rapists, paedofiles etc receiving more compensation than their victims, because of parliment and the government enforcing the ECU (human rights act).

There is no justice whatever in criminals directly receiving compensation for perceived 'slights' under the Human Rights Act.
What they should do is pay FULL compensation to their victim PLUS the FULL cost of the police catching them and prosecuting them PLUS their board and lodging in prison.
THEN they can keep what's left over for themselves.
If they don't get state money (i.e. compensation) they they should work whilst in the nick and get paid Union rates for whatever they're doing and have all he above costs deducted from their wages. They stay in prison until they've paid it all off. If they don't work then they stay there until they're dead. There you are, a self-financing justice system.
That is the only way that some of these gits will ever be made to see the true cost of their greedy, selfish, often lazy, drug induced, anti-social activities.

My favorite subject. The criminals have too many rights. We live in society, if you usurp your rights or take away other people s rights you should lose yours. The only right criminals should have is the right to restitution. My dad use to say the only right they need is the right to choose their last meal. When you commit a crime and are found guilty, all your rights should be suspended until proper restitution is made. When restitution can't be made you should suffer the same treatment as you have given others. THe bleeding heart society along with the criminal lawyers have totally skewed the system, that is why criminals have more rights than the victims. All criminals should be give a FAIR trial, sentenced and that sentence upheld. No parole, no time off, no pass, they have no rights remember. If you don't like to have to live like that, don't do the crime. Ole Saddam had it very close to right, make the punishment fit the crime. I bet no one got paroled over there.

Tony Blair must be the weakest P.M in history, the only thing we can do is look at what the other parties intentions are on this crazy system and vote Tony and his cronies out.
If they get back in for another term we will be in for a lot more silly laws to our cost.

sometimes you just have to break the law, but that doesnt mean you should be punished forever for it. in some cases i dont think its wrong for someone who has broke the law to be compensated for a life of problems afterwards
ps. a criminal is someone who IS BREAKING the law, not "has in the past"

I share your unhappiness with such a mad situation.
It is interesting that someone can burgle your house (You pay for possessions, insurance, the alarm, the police).
If you hurt them you have to pay them.
They are often paid benefit money as well.
And who pays for their prison life and court costs?
When are these worthless dogs going to behave like men and stand on their own two feet instead of hanging off society's teet like little babies who can do nothing for themselves?
