The Government Took My Babies

[Bobert]

Some of you may remember the time Declan went onto Vincent Browne (I think) and made the point of the Charter of Fundamental Rights giving the EU the right to take children as young as three into care for "educational purposes. For the record, here is what he was talking about;

CHAPTER II. FREEDOMS
Article 6
Right to liberty and security
Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person.
Explanation
The rights in Article 6 are the rights guaranteed by Article 5 of the ECHR, and in accordance with
Article 52(3) of the Charter, they have the same meaning and scope. Consequently, the limitations
which may legitimately be imposed on them may not exceed those permitted by the ECHR, in the
wording of Article 5:
"1. Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be deprived of his liberty
save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure prescribed by law:
(a) the lawful detention of a person after conviction by a competent court;
(b) the lawful arrest or detention of a person for non-compliance with the lawful order of a
court or in order to secure the fulfilment of any obligation prescribed by law;
CHARTE 4473/00 ket/GBK/jrb 9
JUR EN
(c) the lawful arrest or detention of a person effected for the purpose of bringing him
before the competent legal authority on reasonable suspicion of having committed an
offence or when it is reasonably considered necessary to prevent his committing an
offence or fleeing after having done so;
(d) the detention of a minor by lawful order for the purpose of educational supervision or
his lawful detention for the purpose of bringing him before the competent legal
authority;
(e) the lawful detention of persons for the prevention of the spreading of infectious
diseases, of persons of unsound mind, alcoholics or drug addicts or vagrants;
(f) the lawful arrest or detention of a person to prevent his effecting an unauthorised entry
into the country or of a person against whom action is being taken with a view to
deportation or extradition.

Oh, you prat! This lie has been comprehensively dealt with on a thread that you previously contributed to. What's the matter, Bob, want to repeat the big lie once again?
