Justice Secretary Jack Straw loses right to block release for prisoners
"The Justice Secretary lost his last power to block the release of dangerous prisoners from jail yesterday when the Court of Appeal ruled that it was a breach of human rights.
Three judges ended the 40-year power of ministers to reject recommendations from the Parole Board for the release of prisoners".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
