Cameron - Burglars have no human rights

Conservative Home reports what will be a massive clanger for David Cameron to drop on the politics show, the tory leader saying...
"The moment a burglar steps over your threshold, and invades your property, with all the threat that gives to you, your family and your livelihood, I think they leave their human rights outside."

This is the sort of rubbish that the tory party will lap up, but reading further in, it's obvious he doesn't know what he's talking about. Do they lose this human right perhaps?
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.

So, if a burglar enters your home you have the right to hold then as long as you like and force them into your servitude. 
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

So, people are allowed to torture burglars now. Great, I'll get the rack out.

There are many other examples, but I won't go into all of them. The point is, Cameron should be more careful about what he says, saying something like that chimes in many ways with UKIP and the BNP. 

Maybe the quote has been taking a little out of context by Montgomery, but if it hasn't this is worrying news indeed
