When criminals are convicted of certain crimes they should lose all rights, and anything that the authorities deem necessary to be used in preventing further such crimes and acts beneficial to the victim's relatives should be put in force.

Liberty with the help from human rights legislation should not support the criminal's friends and family.

Where will it end? Soon it will be used to fight for the rights of the criminal's friends and family because they are put to the inconvenience of losing their future wages/benefits potential, the opportunity of not being able to provide them with children etc, not to mention their inconvenience of having to travel to visit them in jail.

Oh Dear AOG you seem to be under the impression that Human rights are there for the masses. They are there to protect criminal scum and their families, tut tut, you really need to get "on message"!

I think pretty much everybody is aware that you would like to see anyone you think of as a criminal tortured to death over red hot coals.

Probably left wing "traitors" too.

Do you not have any new perspectives to offer? or is this an elaborate "Turing Test"?

Let's hope that common sense prevails (for once!) and they and Liberty are told where to go - in short, sharp jerky movements!

I only pray that my taxes aren't helping to fund this outrageous venture. That would really p!ss me off!

Anyway, why don't the people involved stop to think for a second about the real victims in all of this, i.e. the relatives of those murdered by the subhuman scum Joyce and Amos!

Greater Manchester Police are exceptionally bad at catching criminals. Burglars in this region have a 91% chance of not being caught.

So it was understandable in this case that they wanted everyone to know they are finally caught a couple, and put it on a big poster.

Not sure how this helps in detecting or solving crimes, and it rings more of gloating. Still, the thousands of pounds this poster cost to produce and site would only otherwise be wasted on putting officers on the beat.

I know this will upset a few, but when someone commits a crime that justifies a custodial sentence, then for the duration of the sentence, thay should lose all rights. except the right to be alive.

They are in prison to be punished, just taking away their liberty, in nowadays Britain, is not a big deal, and most, re-offend on release.

let them know they are being punished, enough so they won't want to re-offend and be jailed again.

This is not about the rights of the criminals, but the rights or their relatives, who have not been convicted of any crimes.

Excellent use of bold there, Lonnie - but have you really thought that through?

You'd remove all rights, apart from the right to life? Does that include the right not to be raped by prison guards? The right to sanitation as opposed to sleeping in your own excrement?

Or was it actually a nice-sounding blanket statement that wouldn't work in reality?

Perhaps not convicted, in the true sense of the word.

But their crime is, they could have disowned them.

First off, surely, these people, by committing the crimes they have, and being found rightfull guilty, would have put their families into the spotlight, even for a short time, so maybe the families should sue their criminal kin.

Sweep2k, your twisting things, these people didn't give a thought for the rights of their victims, or the victims families, so while they are in prison, no 'Human Rights' at all.

If you don't like that Sweep2k, tough, you've probably never been on the end of a sadistic attack, and then watched the perpetrators walk free from the court.

I have no sympathy for this tupe of scum, and really, as there is no doubt of their guilt, if there was any kind of justice, they'd be dead now.
