Jordan is an ally in the war on terror and therefore there should not be a problem.

Hamad Lone, London, England

This judgement seems to give a guaranteed exit-proof basis for asylum in the UK.
So why doesn't the government (tough on crime etc) just say "No"? What can this court do to the UK?
Surely when a judgement is at such odds with the safety and quality of life of the citizens of a country (how would 2 million extra asylums seekers to house and feed be managed, or 10?), the European Court has some responsibility? How about requiring their ditribution around Euope especially France?

Paul, Havant, UK

It seems to me the main danger to our way of life consistently comes from our own Government and various EU entities .

Benzo, Nr Chelmsford,

The European Court may be correct - nobody should be subjected to torture. So why is Abu Quatado still in Britain torturing us ?

Rodney Barker, Lincolnshire, UK

Well, this is crazy, but at least they're not allowing Hezbollah's chief propagandist, Ibrahim Moussawi, come and do a talk tour in the UK...oh, wait, that happened yesterday...

Timmy, York, UK.

The European Court of Human Rights is part of the Council of Europe. The UK were a founding member of the Council of Europe following World War II in 1949.

The European Union is a separate organisation (which the UK didn't join until 1973). It has its own court (the European Court of Justice), which is not a specialised human rights court unlike the ECHR.

Other commenters please get your facts straight before criticising the EU!

Ian, Oxford,

All Euro countries have a problem with Islamic terrorists so why can't we all get together and change these laws. Put the law on the side of the innocent European and not on the side of terrorists who have a mind set no more advanced than the Knights Templar.
These rights were drawn up in pre Islamo-facist times and now need to be amended to suit .
The Blairs and co in their arrogance did champion these rights believing that nothing would happen in the UK, but past events have proved them wrong, so these rights must be removed.

Gareth, Swansea,

What is upsetting about this story is not the fact that the terrorist suspects will have to be dealt with in accordance with the rule of law in the Europe, but the statement by the Home Office that "the Government is disappointed at the ruling" safeguarding our basic human rights (whether a European national or not).

Christian, London,

I agree with Barry from Christchurch. This dreadful government of Britain is making its decent people leave as they become sickened by its laws and actions.
The point is simple - Labour, and some Conservative politicians, sold us down the river to these European bureaucrats. The middle class is becoming disenfranchised with very little voice. Either you stand up and take to the streets or Labour will force the middle class into extinction or to leave.
Like a lot of Britons now living abroad, if it comes to a fight I'm coming back - with some scores to settle

Richard, Kiev, Ukraine

Does this give the green light for foreign terrorists to operate in Britain? After all, the worse that can happen to them is to languish for a year or two in a British jail before being released and being put on the dole?

Perhaps Britain needs to declare it's independence from the EU? How can a court in Strasbourg, France decide what is done in the UK? Did we elect them? Are they accountable to us? No! But we will face the consequences of their rulings anyway.

But what ever right? Such idiocy will become even more common when we sign up to the European Constitution.

Phil, Oxford,

The British Electorate have never voted for EU membership, and should not therefore be bound by ANY of it's rules!
Deport ALL foreign criminals, no excuses!
There is obviously a very sinister ,hidden agenda as to why the EU wants thousands of foreign criminals and murderers resident in Britain.

Clive Burghard , LANCING, ENGLAND

Hate to disappoint you Arthur but the EU has nothing to do with this - the European Court Of Justice rules only on the European Convention on Human Rights which Britain signed up to years before they joined the EU and which has zero connection to the EU. So you may want to stop reading the Daily Mail and try and get your facts straight.

joe bloggs, oxford, UK

I think its time the european governments to put limits in the juridiction of this court.The human rights must be protected but other public goods such as security must be protected as well.Its not acceptable a court to make decisions with political dimensions.This job is for the elected governments.

haris, athens, greece

Lunatic decisions by the European Court of Human Rights and we cannot even vote on whether we want to have that court deciding our fate ! So now we are obliged to give care, protection and material support to Islamic fundamentalists who want to kill us. Can we really wait for an election to rid us of this absrd and dangerous government.

Sean, Coventry, UK

Dont you just love the EU.

Arthur, Newcastle,

So there you have it...

Some Joe from some country insults his King/President/Dictator then leaves on the next people smuggler express to the UK. Once here he applies for asylum on the grounds that if he were to return home he would be tortured by above head of state... or its agents.

Bingo, Joe now has a 100% chance of never being shown the door no matter what he gets up to here, including ploting terrorist acts... or insulting our Queen/PM/Blair.

John Pickworth, Blackpool, UK

Just anotehr reason why we need to leave the EU, its holding us back at ever turn.

Mr w Jones, Liverpool, England

It looks like Britian will have to find a litlle rock in the middle of the ocean to put them on. St Georges in the south atlantic comes to mind. You could just release them and leave them to fend for themselves. I wonder if seal and penguin are Halal. Or you could just put the very expensive Chunnel to some good use. Just stick them on the train to Paris and don't let them back in.

Callum Roxburgh, Jakarta, Indonesia

All though we welcome the decision of the court we would also like to point out that there are those who are not represented’ and are kept in Anonymity to the public’ which suspected terrorist are treated with little or no human rights here in our very England’ and I would challenge the government to show that we are ourselves are in fact hypocritical in ignoring that we have acted in the very manner to which we accuse those regimes of depriving suspects of the means of litigation and trail bellmarsh and other prisons have been the hell and psychologically damaging environment endured by those held without trail in Britton and are facing great injustice and violations on a level unacceptable to ordinary citizens’

Idriss, manchester, Uk

What about the human rights of innocent victims of these potential evil murderers? It proves that these European judges do not live in the real world. How can the 'war on terrorism' ever succeed if terrorists are given human rights that are denied to their victims? It makes a complete mockery of the justice system.

sarah, middlesex,

this is all so wrong. What about the rights of ourselves and our familys to be safe from this evil. THIS MADNESS MUST STOP. Is there no way we can deport them anyway and deal with the consequences from Europe later.

keith, chester, uk

How much longer is Britain going to have The European Court on Human Rights run the country.
I think the government should just resign and let Brussels run the place. The other thought is put on trial for treason greasy Jack Straw, he was one of the
trio that took great delight in introducing this catastrophic rubbish into the country. The other two who should also go down are the Blairs.

Barry Holmes, Christchurch, New Zealand
