Personally, in my opinion, 'Human Rights' is a hackneyed little phrase which is all too often pulled out of too many 'Hats' like white Rabbits whenever anyone with an axe to grind against DEMOCRACY or GREAT BRITAIN needs any old reason to justify their stance.
I am sick of hearing and seeing the phrase. |
As in the English parliament, we have no idea just how overtly corrupt our govt is, however as Orgreave proved covertly there is a dark side to our 'democratic' establishment.
The Human Rights Act is legislation and as such voted and passed democratically.
It is fundamentally important.
