Seeing this headline in the Telegraph,
and knowing the BBC stance on advocating all Human Rights acts, particularly the EU ones, regardless of merit, I wondered how they would try to 'protect' it.
It appears in her statement denouncing the human rights act at the Conservative conference, Theresa May had used one example of an illegal immigrant who could not be deported because he had a cat.
So, along with all the left wing rags, the BBC were all over her to ridicule her statement, apparently proving that no such case existed.
In just the same way they ignore those stories that bely their agenda, when they think it serves them they go overboard to make news of it. A search of the BBC website showed at least 13 articles, some with video, have been run, that in effect ridicule her attempt.
THIRTEEN!
Fact is, the essence of what she claimed is true, but you won't read that on the BBC articles on the subject, although surprisingly the Guardian did run it. The case she is referring to is where the imbecile of a judge using the human rights law said this before deciding to allow an illegal immigrant to stay: The immigration judge said: "The evidence concerning the joint acquisition of Maya (the cat) by the appellant and his partner reinforces my conclusion on the strength and quality of the family life that appellant and his partner enjoy."
The judge added: "Canadian courts have moved away from the legal view that animals are merely chattels, to a recognition that they play an important role in the lives of their owners and that the loss of a pet has a significant emotional impact on its owner."
Here's what you'll see the 'balanced' BBC has on it:
