In stark contrast to the neutral regurgitation of facts on the Abu Qatadar case by international media such as RT, the Daily Mail are far more outspoken, quoting Cameron as saying: 'I'm fed up he's still at large in our country,' the Prime Minister said last month. 'He has no right to be there, we believe he is a threat to our country.' A more reserved BBC report backing the Government but only quoting Cameron as saying he's 'fed up' with the process.
Once again the sovereignty of the nation state here is called into question - while the protection of human rights are of course imperative, the coalition government are at the mercy of a body for which the majority of the UK population have not provided a mandate to govern. Whose rights are being protected by this ruling?
