"I don't know about the series, but your post reminds me why I think the Human Rights Act is so important. Totalitarian and authoritarian states - be they of left or right - always seek seek to transfer the rights of individuals to the custody of the state. The European Convention of Human Rights was the direct response to the atrocities that occur when the rights of all belong in the hands of a few. It enshrines the rights of the individuals and curbs the power of the state. In that sense, it is inherently a Conservative philosophy and indeed was drawn up by a Conservative lawyer. It saddens me when I read people talk so willingly of handing their rights back to the state. " Good in theory as long as the governments follow it,basically it is just another ideal that means nothing. Why does Corbyn not want to be in the EU because of this so he can set up a totalitarian state. If Hitler came to power and this existed do you think he would take any notice.If Trump was a European leader would he go along with it.Basically like most idealistic ideas it is ultimately bullshit | |||

Your rights are enshrined in the HRA. The UK is signed up to the ECHR. Membership of the EU is conditional on adherence to the ECHR, which is why Turkey will never join and why Poland is on the verge of being suspended. It is the tool to keep the fascists at bay. Is there a country in Europe leaning so far to to the right it would appoint a Trump to lead it? I think the USA is head and shoulders above anyone else at the Of course the Trumps of this world hate it - it constrains their power to trample over individuals. | |||

Is that not the point? Doesn't the law exist to treat everyone equally without bias? That means that even a criminal has the same rights other than those specifically suspended for a conviction. Even immigrants should be treated as humans, just like us. | |||
