"Taken from the Guardian: "The government is planning to “opt out” of parts of the European convention on human rights in order to speed up deportations of asylum seekers and protect British troops serving overseas from legal action" Looks like the Conservatives have found an easy scapegoat to lessen our human rights. Would you accept worse human rights just so Troops who have committed war crimes cannot be prosecuted? What's next? Our worker's rights? Can't wait for American style rights where we are only entitled 10 days off each year. " Similar to this is a US military person sentenced to 10 years for murdering a trans person, being mysteriously pardoned. The judge refused to comment on why, so we are left to assume Trump picked up the phone to make peace the all the "suckers" in the military... | |||

You do know that the humans rights convention was originally proposed by Churchill and written mainly by British lawyers? Churchill wanted to bring Europe together and protect individual freedoms from threats like fascism and communism. Such a shame that modern Tories want to throw away this great achievement that Britain led the way on. And I thought the Right was patriotic. | |||

"Amazing how this has psssed without a ripple. We have many conspiracy theories how anti Covid-19 measures are a clandestine move by the government to take away our rights. And here it is happening quite overtly and no one says a word." Apathy reigns supreme | |||

Which would be all well and good if the standards we were to apply are equal to or better than we currently have.. But they won't be..

" I think this has been a common argument for Brexit - Being able to apply our own rights and standards. But in reality company bosses, landlords, and the ultra rich see rights and standards as red tape. This will diminish our rights, but will make it easier for them to exploit the workforce and market. For example, we have great consumer rights due to being a part of the EU. We are given a 2 year legal guarantee on most things. I highly doubt we will get the same protection once we leave the EU. | |||

"Wales and Cornwall are both in the top 10 poorest regions in Northern Europe. They both receive a great amount of EU funding. The EU redirects funding to places where it's needed the most. All EU members make a contribution. Do you honestly think the UK Gov will match EU funding? Do you really think, given how badly handled Brexit and Covid has been, that the Government will be able to deliver such a budget? Even during a health crisis they have pissed millions away by giving contracts to dodgy firms who have either a personal or business connection to the party." Yep | |||

What was wrong with the human rights we did have? Did we have too many? Did we not have enough? If this was a key reason then I expect you to have a very good explanation. I wouldnt be surprised if, like many EU laws, the UK was actually quite instrumental in establishing our human rights in Europe. | |||

Each christmas the golf club sends you a pen so you moan and cancel your membership because then pen wasn't worth £600 but forget the rounds of golf you played and the social experience. You also forget that being a member entitled you to take guests which enabled you to take clients for a game which helped secure a new contract for your business.
