Britain left to count cost of European Arrest Warrant

In the EU and Britain today citizens are able to be arrested and held for trial by any other Euro country in the EUSSR.
It doesn't matter if the offence you are accused of is NOT a criminal offence in your home country you can and will be arrested.

How long before we see British Nationalists and Patriots being arrested for commiting FREE SPEECH CRIMES, NATIONALIST CRIMES, PATRIOTIC CRIMES ?
The sort of crime would be for pointing out that IMMIGRANTS are commiting HATE CRIMES as defined in British and EU Law against the INDIGENOUS.
WE see the MAD Mohammedans demanding the beheading of non-believers, screaming HATRED and ABUSE at BRITISH SOLDIERS ON BRITISH STREETS yet they are allowed to continue without a single arrest, a single court case. They burn our symbols of rememberance of our HEROIC FORFATHERS who gave their lives up so readily for OUR FREEDOM and OUR SECURITY and are protected by the Police who duly arrest any Indigenous Britains for trying to do something about these disgusting acts of HATE from the BARBAROUS MOHAMMEDANS.

We know that MOHAMMEDANS who are resident here are travelling around the globe to fight in ISLAMIC WAR ZONES, fighting against BRITISH SOLDIERS in AFGHANISTAN and formerly in IRAQ, collecting thousands upon thousands of pounds every week in their British Barracks, commonly known as MOSQUES, and using this money to undermine OUR COUNTRY, using this money to pay for TERRORIST TRAINING in Foreign countries, to enable them to travel and to live in their country of choice for their training.

Yet it is US the INDIGENOUS BRITISH who are targetted by Foreign Governments, Police Forces and Legal systems aided and abetted by the TRAITORS IN PARLIAMENT.

HOW LONG BEFORE THEY COME FOR YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR POLITICAL BELIEFS ?

Britain left to count cost of European Arrest Warrant


Many are accused of trivial crimes overseas such as possessing cannabis or leaving petrol stations without paying. No evidence need be presented in British courts of the alleged offence and judges have few powers to resist the person’s extradition.

Those affected can spend long periods in jail here and abroad for crimes which might not even be prosecuted in this country.

They can also be seized for offences which are not even crimes in Britain.

Although the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) was intended to operate in the same way in all 27 EU states, The Sunday Telegraph has established that many other European countries have given themselves “opt-outs” or conditions to protect their citizens.

It comes after this newspaper first highlighted concerns last week over the way that the warrant system was being used in Britain.

Holland will not extradite Dutch nationals under the EAW unless the accusing state agrees that they can serve any prison sentence in a Dutch jail. The Belgians have opt-outs so that the warrant does not cover abortion.

Abortion and “abetting abortion” are crimes in some EU states, including Malta, Ireland and Poland – Europe’s most active issuer of EAWs.

Birth control campaigners fear they could be targeted by antiabortionists under the EAW, even simply for running a British-based advice website accessible from abroad.

France appears reluctant to extradite its own nationals under the EAW and has stated in the past that they will not be extradited.

Europe’s largest country, Germany, has imposed a “proportionality rule” stating that only those accused of serious crimes can be seized under a warrant. The definition of serious is not given, but it would exclude large numbers of the trivial charges dealt with by the British extradition courts.

One Kent motorist, Patrick Reece-Edwards, spent weeks in a British jail awaiting extradition to Poland on a charge of possessing a forged motor insurance certificate. When he was finally extradited, the matter was resolved by the payment of a civil penalty with no criminal record.

So many people – mostly Poles – are extradited from Britain to Poland on minor charges that special fortnightly military flights are operated for them from a London airfield. The hundreds of trivial requests are also a serious drain on police, prison and court resources.

Britain has no such opt-outs, and campaigners say that British judges are too cautious in applying the overriding requirements of the Human Rights Act.

Karen Todner, one of Britain’s leading extradition lawyers, said: “It is typical of us not to have given ourselves proper protection.

“British judges apply the EAW treaty to the letter and these massive injustices come about because the Government hasn’t thought this through.

“There are a lot of quite simple things we could do now to mitigate the harm done to British citizens, which could be done quite quickly through a simple administrative decision.”

British citizens sent abroad under the EAW are also at a serious disadvantage. Since foreigners are regarded as flight risks, bail is often refused and pretrial detention, even for minor crimes, can last for years.

Almost 44 per cent of prisoners in Greek jails are foreigners, according to EU figures, compared with just 14 per cent of those in British jails.

Jago Russell, the chief executive of Fair Trials International, said: “The human impact of an extradition is crazy. In its forthcoming review of extradition law, Britain needs to learn lessons from the likes of Germany, which have put much-needed safeguards in place to protect their citizens.”

You can guarantee that not a single MOHAMMEDAN TERRORIST SUPPORTER AND HATE CRIMINAL will be affected by this, if they are there will be a huge outcry from BRITAINS TRAITOROUS POLITICIANS and every stone will be unturned to save the MOHAMMEDAN HATE PREACHERS from being arrested under the EU ARREST WARRANT>

EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANTS - EAW

EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANTS

Arrest Warrants

Mr Raab: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many European arrest warrants were issued for UK citizens in (a) 2004, (b) 2005, (c) 2006, (d) 2007, (e) 2008, (f) 2009 and (g) 2010 to the latest date for which information is available. [23126]

Nick Herbert: The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service for Scotland are the designated UK authorities responsible for processing European Arrest Warrants (EAWs). Information is held on Part 1 cases (persons wanted from the UK by another member state) and Part 3 cases (persons wanted by the UK from another
17 Nov 2010 : Column 809W
member state). It is not possible to provide information relating to EAW requests for UK Citizens which are made between two other EU member states.

Between 1 October 2008 and 31 March 2010, SOCA received 191 EAW Part 1 requests for UK Citizens. These are broken down as follows:

Number

1 October 2008 to 31 December 2008

29

1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009

119

1 January 2010 to 31 March 2010

43


These figures do not include part 1 requests transmitted directly to Scotland.

Data on the requests made by EU member states in respect of UK citizens prior to 1 October 2008 are currently unavailable and could be recovered only by a manual examination of all SOCA case records. This would incur a disproportionate cost.

For information on the number of UK nationals surrendered to other member states I refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on 25 October 2010, Official Report, columns 64-66W, to my hon. Friend the Member for Witham (Priti Patel).

Figures for UK Part 3 requests made in respect of UK citizens since 2006 are shown in the following table. Data for 2004 and 2005 is not readily available and could not be obtained without incurring disproportionate cost.

IS THE EURO AND THE EU ABOUT TO IMPLODE ?

A leader in Die Zeit argues that European Council President Herman Van Rompuy "is exaggerating" when he says that the end of the euro would mean the end of Europe: "The European idea is more than a mere nine year old currency union [...] The European Union would exist even without the euro". In the Spectator, Irwin Stelzer argues, "The euro is almost certainly dead. Brussels would be wise to accept that."

Handelsblatt complains that "again we are saving Europe's banks". Writing in the paper, Dirk Heiman argues that there is a "need for a European bank rescue package and a bank supervision system with teeth and claws." The Economist's Charlemagne notes, "There is a limit to the EU's ability to sugar the medicine. It is hard enough to convince European taxpayers to bail out other governments; explaining why they should save other countries' banks may prove even more unpopular."

In City AM, Allister Heath argues, "There are many lessons to be learnt from all of this. The EU's treaties are not worth the paper they are written on, especially the nonsense about fiscal sustainability; the euro is a giant with feet of clay; monetary union will either lead to fiscal centralisation and destroy democracy in small countries or break up completely."

On the BBC's Newsnight Programme, Labour MP Gisela Stuart said that the eurozone bailout fund established in May "did not address the underlying problem of this political construct [the single currency area], which is that it doesn't provide for economic competitiveness."

With regard to the possibility of an implosion of the eurozone because of increasing pressure from the markets, she argued: "Nobody dares to think about it, but what will cause political problems will not be political decisions, but I think it will be the markets. And remember: Keynes always said that 'markets can remain irrational for much longer than you can remain liquid'."

On his BBC blog, Nick Robinson writes, "Could a British, Eurosceptic, Conservative prime minister have to pledge billions to save the euro from collapse? Will David Cameron agree to increased EU powers to avert a future crisis of the sort brewing around Ireland? The answer to both questions appears to be yes which may land the Tory part of this coalition in a very hot Irish stew."

On his blog, Conservative MP John Redwood argues, "The UK should make it clear that we are not part of any Euroland rescue or facility. We should say we do not think they can use EU disaster relief provisions to offer Ireland more cash. If Ireland does not wish to take any EU money, the UK should be Ireland's ally." The Mail argues, "This is one eurozone country we must help."

The sooner the Euro and the EU fails the sooner we can start rebuilding a prosperous, safe and free Britain again for our Pensioners our Children and our Grandchildren, if we don't do it what future do your Children and Grandchildren have ?

What sort of life as a Pensioner will you have ?

The EUSSR should be destroyed before it destroys us.
