QUOTE 1: "Punishment is the way in
which society expresses its denunciation of wrong doing; and, in order to
maintain respect for the law, it is essential that the punishment inflicted for
grave crimes should adequately reflect the revulsion felt by the great majority
of citizens for them. It is a mistake to consider the objects of punishments as
being a deterrent or reformative or preventive and nothing else... The truth is
that some crimes are so outrageous that society insists on adequate punishment,
because the wrong doer deserves it, irrespective of whether it is a deterrent
or not."
QUOTE
2: Our
sovereignty has been taken away by the European Court of Justice...Our courts
must no longer enforce our national laws. They must enforce Community law...No
longer is European law an incoming tide flowing up the estuaries of England. It
is now like a tidal wave bringing down our sea walls and flowing inland over
our fields and houses—to the dismay of all. [Introduction
to The European Court of Justice: Judges or Policy Makers? (London: Bruges Group,
1990)]
