The reported finding by a judge that an electronic tag must be removed from a terrorist suspect on the grounds that his human rights are being breached because he suffers from delusions that the tag is a bomb is as perverse as finding against the tax authorities because the person they accuse of tax evasion suffers delusions that George Osborne is Dracula.
This blog is in favour and fully supports the Human Rights Act and sees it as a valuable safeguard for citizens in a country without a codified constitution. Like any set of laws it is open to interpretation and requires measured judgement to be effective. There will always be idiosyncratic judgements, which is why there is an appeals process, and when they occur it is a mistake to call for a change in the law. A look at how judges are selected and appointed might be more to the point.
