O?T Tories to Change Human Rights Rulings

[gm_gm]

This could potentially be the best legislation in the last 50 years!

It would effectively stop people with beards and hooks for hands claiming millions of pounds in freebies form us while at the same time preaching about blowing us up.

The legal people are going to hate this.

They make a shed load of cash dealing with human rights cases.

And the biggest snout in the trough is one Mrs Cherie Blair - now let me think back, who was it that signed us up for this in the first place ...

I know his jokes are sometimes a bit iffy but I don't remember jolly_roger threatening to blow us up?

[jolly_roger]

guess who's first on the list?

British lawyers drafted it following WW2 and it was supported by that famous liberal, Winston Churchill.

Now the Tories literally want to take away human rights a populist move supported by people who take their human rights for granted.

You are correct John, thats why it needs to be changed, its 70 years out of date. 70 years ago we had gas street lamps, outside toilets, coal fires and TB.

No they don't, they want to bring in a British version. ie one that suits us, our culture and our country, not a bleeding hearts charter that eurocrats and parasite lawyers get rich on.

And Tony and his cronies gave away our right to self determination on human rights issues to a body of unelected, unaccountable and remote judges who know nothing about Britain, it's people or it's values.

So you are saying that British judges are elected, accountable and in touch with the lives of the majority of British people? The first two are news to me whilst the third is certainly not a universal property.

How did the UK give up its right to self determination when it enacted the human Rights Act? Our Supreme Court is required to take account of ECHR rulings, but not to blindly apply them.

We will be in the company of Belarus and.. er.. that's about it, if we bail out of the ECHR.

This is populist nonsense and a reaction to the fact that the ECHR has sough
