I watched Shami Chakrabarti, the human rights lawyer being interviewed on last night's Newsnight . Obviously she believes the Human Rights Act is sacrosanct ( the taxpayer probably funds all her cases) and meets any suggestion to amend it with smug pious disdain.
I'd scrap the whole Act . We managed perfectly well without it before it was passed into law in 1998. We had and have adequate laws that more than defend our human rights if we need them defending . Has anyone on here used it to defend their human rights ? Probably not, but the Telegraph knows a few :

It's not the lack of police that led to the atrocities , it was the Islamist scum that perpetrated them assisted by an Act that defends a terrorist's and/or extremist's human rights rather than the rights of a victim blown to pieces in Manchester or stabbed to death in London.
Whilst I'm on with Ms Chakrabarti , like all Corbyn's apostles she's against Theresa May's plans to bring back grammar schools and describes them as a form of “segregation”. All well and good I guess and very new socialist , until you find out it doesn't apply to her own life. Her own 14-year-old son goes to Dulwich College, a highly selective independent school in London, where fees start at £18,000 a year.
Labour has been conning the working classes for generations , but this lot take it to a whole new level.
