As a footnote to this conference with all its dubious promises of nothing today but maybe a lot more in a few years.
The other thing that gets me is the Conservative party's desperation to get rid of the human rights act for the UK.

They keep telling us, when discussing overseeing policies and what are seen as snooping policies,when they are being considered or brought in, that if we have nothing to hide then we have nothing to fear.

What then is their hidden agenda that they almost obsessively want to quit the human rights act.
What is it they would like to be able to do and not have someone saying you cannot do that it is wrong.
Now okay, a lot of things are wrong and sometimes downright daft as to the Human rights but nonetheless it is a protection too.

This lot say a UK bill of rights is called for and while I could easily support that,I would only support it myself were it a full Parliamentary bill of rights and not a single party's or single Govts. creation.
Any UK bill of rights, for me, must have the support of all the Parties elected to Westminster so that all voters and all citizens have representation to its content and creation.

At the very least,if agreement from all Parties is not possible then I would settle for it being passed in Parliament with at least two thirds of all the MPs elected to Parliament, not just from MP's in the chamber at the time.
So with at least 434 MP's supporting such a UK bill of rights.

A UK bill of rights should be discussed, planned and created by every Party with MPs from the whole United Kingdom.
It should never be,or allowed to be, a solely Conservative creation or indeed solely Labour's or another Party's creation too.
