UK: Killer Wins £241K After Prison Rights Breach Ruling
The Spin
Pro-government narrative
The government defended this case in court as required and paid a modest £7,500 compensation after losing a legal judgment on prisoner segregation practices. The Separation Centre remains essential for protecting staff and other prisoners from dangerous radicalisers, and commitment to human rights conventions requires reviewing whether applications create barriers to national security.
Government-critical narrative
Lammy handed nearly £250,000 in taxpayer money to an Islamist killer who executed two men and took a prison officer hostage. The Ministry of Justice folded instead of appealing this absurd ruling, prioritizing foreign court dictates over officer safety and British interests. This shameful surrender to the ECHR coddles extremists while ordinary citizens struggle.
