that's next week. patrick mercer is a member of parliament of the conservative party and a former shadow minister for homeland security's been a frequent commentator on defense and security issues patrick thanks for speaking to r.t. now even very outspoken on the human rights act on how essentially is allowing foreign criminals to stay in the u.k. on the grounds of human rights what does that say about britain are these as a britain has surrendered far too many powers to the european union. is interpret ing the the rules and regulations in the strict strictures of europe in a much more proper but in this way in this case and helpful way the most of the members of the the loopholes the foreign criminals can exploit to stay in the case is that making britain a target do you think i think if you look at foreign nation. attitudes

towards the united kingdom particularly issues like terrorism for instance. london widely called in french circles londonistan for the ease with which jihadists etc can live prosper or indeed in place in particular in london and also in britain i think it's worth also remembering that forty percent of america's external intelligence efforts are directed at the united kingdom and iraq because clearly because of the actions of a majesty's government but because of actions of his loyalists fundamentalist cetera inside this kingdom directed at the us now if we have that if that is the case of this is just the way that we are regarded it was seen as being a soft touch for insurgents for four malcontents or ones or rather yeah i mean i just that is terribly unhelpful to this country surely that's a concern with the olympics coming up you could argue it two ways of course you can say well the recently these people here they don't want to spoil

a good thing. more for their. right britain of course is going to be targeted and she's labeled as the little satan on the islamist web sites and all those sorts of charming places i read so much and so much of. britain's a target she's been attacked before her soldiers sailors and there are under every day attack in places like afghanistan pakistan. of course we remain a. very high on the terrorist list of priorities so how does the government get out of this situation now and obviously human rights have to be respected but of course where do they draw the line i think is very important that human rights of course have to be respected and that's one of the reasons why our servicemen and women are dying abroad at the moment to make sure that that nations that don't respect human rights or i beg pardon or rephrase that are not nations but causes that don't respect human rights or we fight against that sort of narrow mindedness human rights are crucially important but there's a difference between the human rights of those who would endeavor to kill british

citizens and the human rights of british citizens what greater human rights is than the right to life he or she who would try to take your life away from you must be dealt with realistically and must be dealt with sensibly we must bear a gate from the front from from the strictures of the human rights act and we must replace it with a bill of rights as the current prime minister promised before the last election is the case of the government be hamstrung by europe or is this too weak to stand up to the e.u. . i think things have not been made any simpler by the fact that we don't have a conservative government per se that we have a coalition albeit a conservative led coalition but a coalition the liberal democrats of course have set their face against any tinkering with the human rights act and therefore individuals like myself who. campaigned on the fact that we would have a british rule a bill of rights i fear are going to be frustrated for some considerable time how

damaging are these directives from europe and. we recently just had another with the e.u. threatening to sue the u.k. if it doesn't relaxes welfare system for migrants well i mean you're a skeptic so i'm afraid you're you're not going to get any any warm words of praise for me about the european union it is damaging to the united kingdom we are a sovereign nation and sometimes one wonders home sovereignty will still show was european history has a place to hold we do need to have a referendum on our continued presence inside of the european union other all our entire persons all the terms of which we find ourselves well again this was part of the conservative manifesto before the last election given what's happening in the new euro zone crisis the financial crisis do you think this is the best nor has his has sounded forceful even the concept of europe well i think the concept of europe for concept of europe is constantly evolving and constantly changing i think that's

a healthy thing what i hope is that britain in the same way that we very sensibly stayed out of membership of the euro itself i hope that we could send you to be skeptical about off the earth revolved the following the recent riots across the case the police were criticized for not acting more forcefully is this a case because the respect for human rights has gone too far do you think. human rights is a question of a balance between the majority and the vocal minority. the rights of the individual are preeminently important we live in a democracy believe in a civilized democracy where individuals are allowed to live their lives or should be allowed to live their lives and safety freedom to speak speak what they wish will say what they wish and to an extent do what they wish the trouble is that because of influences such as the human rights act because of the influences of of what i would regard as the. as the less sensible members of the of the saloon

the liberal press and the liberal establishment that those who would seek to disrupt society are the by deeds words or actions inconvenience and danger the majority of and endanger the majority of society unnecessarily so how many people did we see protesting say in the student riots before christmas well i don't know how many were but clearly a tiny tiny minority inside the country were they were they protesting legitimately for the most part absolutely of course they were should they be allowed to continue protesting of course but not violently now the police must protect the majority from the violent or the disruptive minority that is as much a part of my human hating hue or human rights as to say that once a man or woman is arrested they should be treated decently by the police of course they should but it's a question of balance it's a question of proportionality now the police god bless them please please

understand i only big supporter of the police force have been so lambasted by the loony livid conduct of the last government that when we have things like the g twenty protests the death of ian tomlinson etc well i'm not saying that things won't go wrong by the police of course they were but this nonetheless has colored. so much of the police approach towards these sort of problems that we have a. institutional nervous breakdown from the police in these in these cases and helped by the fact they don't get robust and stringent support from politicians including those of my own party most of them done the right thing how should they dealt with them they should have dealt with the rights with due proportionality i'm not saying i wasn't there and i'm not a police officer and i'm not going to start making specific indictments about policeman but those in my experience of dealing with riots which i regret to say is considerable most view is that once someone starts being violent there are very

very very few options left you as a member of the security forces other than meeting violence with proportionate and measured violence we didn't see enough of that. water cannons potentially possibly i don't i wouldn't i guess i wouldn't talk about the sort of weaponry and i wouldn't i wouldn't specify the sort of weapon all i would say is that imports of this country things like water cannon things like plastic bullets are used almost were i would say without without thought of course or use with thought but in northern ireland violent extremism violent disorder is dealt with extremely robustly by the police service and all the and i don't see why we treat our rich thugs in a different way from the way that we treat english thugs let's talk about afghanistan now it could be argued ten years on the gulf between the western arab world's a bigger than it was before now you're a former member of the armed forces what would you say was it was the campaign

wrong to begin with would it veer off course afghanistan is a difficult place i think that if there was going to be allied of allied intervention in afghanistan we should have learned that particular from the british experience in the past if you go into afghanistan you go with limited aims and you go with a limited time period in mind to get to enter afghanistan in two thousand. two with no clear mission statement with no clear limitations upon when the allies were going to withdraw or indeed what their aim was is very very difficult particularly for a former military man to understand can anything good command of a achieve anything positive that i think i think there is plenty of positive things that are being the being achieved that first and foremost as we got to stop talking about afghanistan as if it is as if it is the kernel of the problem it's not it's a regional war and it stretches from the borders of iran to the borders of russia and encompasses the nuclear armed country of pakistan the presence of our troops in afghanistan or should i say more properly on the afghanistan pakistan border is as

much about maintaining the relative stability of pakistan and the relative stability of pakistan's nuclear arsenal as it is about reestablishing afghanistan as a relatively civilized country what's the best possible outcome here they've promised to withdraw troops by twenty fifteen is that likely will it be met and where will that leave the country it was an extraordinary statement by the president the united states saying to his enemies that whether he had won or not he would be withdrawing his troops can you imagine at the altar conference they are allies deciding that their announcement to hitler would be that by month x. or of year x. that they were to what the outcome they'd be withdrawing their troops i don't think so it was. just to the left the third go with the rest of it i don't personally see every american every professional realized soul leaving afghanistan between two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen numbers will

leave for school infrastructure to be able to be rolled down but there's going to be live presence in afghanistan for the foreseeable future why was that and so damaging. well you can look no tenet of military strategy or operations at the operational and strategic level allows you to say to your enemy this is when we're going to surrender that's not war patrick thank you thank you very much indeed. for australia i do want to tell you new zealand no wait until you see the film on

more in less than fifteen minutes in the meantime to me next with the latest sports news. hello there welcome to the sports sunday ten hour six cents for joining us this hour and in this book. as you was in it finished the latest russian premier league and with the same two point advantage over to come oscar off to both sides when
