I do defer to the Lord Chief Justice's opinion. If he says something is an abuse of human rights, who am I to argue? [emphasis added]
CK, he said nothing of the sort -- at least, not according to your citation.
He simply noted the "concern" and said taht if a case is brought before the court, "the courts will rule on that." I believe the BBC entire interview with the justice (which I have not yet played) can be heard at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/interview/interviewoftheweekdec.shtml
(Your other link is merely to the opinion of a coumnist. Quick googling suggests that that gentleman is more given to sensational soundbites than to moderate and balanced thought. [E.g., Jan. 12, 2002: "Inching back towards membership of the human race" ... "power-mad, tendentious and anti-democratic"])
