Have The Robed Strasbourg Worms Finally Turned?
Yes, I know, dashed ungracious of me, why look a gift horse in the mouth, etc!
And why have I kept my own counsel for several days on the ECHR appeal chamber’s declaration that some savages ‘had “placed themselves in an unlawful situation when they had deliberately attempted to enter Spain…
.
Spain has been beset by filthy savages for years..
…
…as part of a large group and at an unauthorized location, taking advantage of the group’s large numbers and using force.”
That’s a clear recognition of the facts, and the judicial conclusion, that “they had thus chosen not to use the legal procedures which existed in order to enter Spanish territory lawfully, ” is what we here…

The EU Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmstrom, said she was “very concerned” about Spanish police firing rubber bullets to deter migrants. She added that the actions of any EU state protecting its borders should be “proportionate”, and should respect fundamental rights and human dignity.
Invasion! So Brussels Stabs Spain in the Back!
…and most Spaniards, and most likely every honest citizen in Europe, have been saying for years.
Enter the lousy lefty lawyer.
“These people were deprived of a review of the expulsion,” said Gonzalo Boye, a lawyer who presented the original case to the court.
Better if a volley of gun-shots had deprived the savages of the ability ever to stage any further illegal incursions ever again!
So yes, of course I’m delighted with the ruling, and yet…
- – and this is why I took time to read and ponder before writing anything about it –
…it seems so much at variance with the mad, bad and dangerous record of rulings by that same court over the years…
Let illegal migrants go free, EU court orders..
…denying police the right to arrest law-breakers known to have violated border law!
.
..
…and don’t let’s forget one very recent ruling, when it declared war on free speech, endorsing that Austrian ban on anything that might offend Islamist fanatics…

…inevitably the thought occurs that a sensible ruling from that court is so out of character that those judges may find a way to reverse themselves if a similar case comes up.
Already all manner of powerful leftist pressure groups are in full whine mode, Enemy Within skunks like Wolfgang Kaleck, ‘the general secretary of the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights, which supported the men in their case.’
American readers might wish to check out Kaleck’s involvement in Gitmo matters, but now he’s all fretty!
…” it will be perceived as a carte blanche for violent push-backs everywhere in Europe…
Let’s hope so!
But before we sign off on this ( for now!)
Here’s what a quick toil through the internet brought up, in respect of whose clammy hand has topped up the coffers of Kaleck’s ECCHR!
Multi-year projects were made possible through the generous support of…
.
Yes, Sauron is in league with this pro-crimmigrant clique, as he is with so many others!

Me, too!
Not a phrase I like to use unless I really have to, but in this case your suspicions about the ruling are exactly the same as mine.
The ECHR judges have been hostile to both sense and sovereignty for years, but all at once they produce a judgement that chimes in with what any reasonable Spaniard, or Brit, must think. We would be odd not to wonder why.
It might just be that the judges have tumbled to the fact that ordinary people have a breaking point, and won’t put up with unelected elites misruling them.
Even so, like you, I wouldn’t put it past them to reverse themselves on a similar case in future.
The case for leaving their jurisdiction is still too strong to resist.
