It is beyond all comprehension that people think this is an exciting idea. Well, who am I kidding? It's not really, but Jesus Christ we really are sleeping walking into a dystopian nightmare. This deplorable **** is about to be gifted a carte blanche landslide mandate to dismantle our public services, sell them off to the highest bidder, and rip up people's long-fought for rights in the name of anti-terror. I think some people forget that the concept of human rights are universal, they're not dealt out like treats to children when they've 'earned' them. Either we all have them, or we all don't. It's like yesterday when people were banging on about Sadiq Khan 'defending' a 9/11 conspirator. Funnily enough, he was a lawyer and that was his job. Yes, even the most reprehensible people are entitled to a fair hearing. It honestly scares me that people think otherwise.
This election is a living nightmare, and I couldn't hate this country and its people anymore than I do now. Seriously, get me the **** out of here.

Indeed Jack, it really is frightening.
I just got back from being in Durham, and I overheard some guy going on about this human rights thing. He was all for scrapping them...his reason
'They are something forced upon us by europe and only benefit terrorists'
There are actually people who think like this. Gavin just kind of glared at me so I didn't set him straight. I mean, its fair enough having the view that this is a good thing IF you understand Human Rights. But this guy clearly didn't. And a hell of a lot of voters won't either...these rights were fought for and we are going to throw them away for nothing, just because May has put the ****ters up people about terrorism. Its kind of..look there don't look here isn't it. Just when she was coming under fire for cutting funds to security services and such...she throws out this gem.
