TERESA MAY CALLS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ACT TO BE SCRAPPED

[peacetoff]

HOME Secretary Theresa May risked angering the Lib Dems by calling for the hated Human Rights Act to be axed last night.

Mrs May said she would "personally" like to see it go because of the problems it has caused.

Her comments will endear her to many infuriated by foreign terrorists, killers and rapists who use the law to avoid deportation.

But senior Lib Dems, including Deputy PM Nick Clegg, have pledged the Act will stay.






Uncomfortable ... Chris Huhne


Speaking on the eve of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, Ms May said: "I'd personally like to see the Human Rights Act go because I think we have had some problems with it."

"I see it, here in the Home Office, particularly, the sort of problems we have in being unable to deport people who perhaps are terrorist suspects.

"Obviously we've seen it with some foreign criminals who are in the UK."

The Lib Dems have long supported Europe-inspired human rights legislation.

Mr Clegg promised delegates at his party's conference last month that the Human Rights Act, which enshrines the European Convention on Human Rights in UK law, was "here to stay".

Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne even boasted his party will destroy the Government if it tries to scrap the laws.

He said: "If Conservative backbenchers persist in wanting to tear up the European Convention on Human Rights, then I can foresee a time when this party would be extremely uncomfortable in coalition."

Shami Chakrabarti, director of human rights organisation Liberty, said: "Modern Conservatives should think again about human rights values that were truly Churchill's legacy.

"Only a pretty 'nasty party' would promote human rights in the Middle East whilst scrapping them at home."

It makes you wonder why the tories signed the Maastricht Treaty.

The HRA was enshrined in it

They are against EU's expansion and the Euro yet those too were enshrined in the Maastricht Treaty.

Stupid fucking tories signing shit they don't want

[Guest]

shame the media blame the HRA for all misconvictions/deportations when it has nothing to do with the HRA

still the readers of crap newspapers believe the lies hook line and sinker

like the Bolivian the papers said stayed here because he had a cat...the cat wasn't the reason and wasn't even in the first 100 reasons

that would be too cruel to call someone a tory who isn't

I was just saying if you had a compiled a product signed for it then after 19 years you say you don't want it now

it smacks of absolute incompetence by those who formulated it

[lol just lol]

cameron citing the case of a prison van being driven a hundred miles

to transport a prisoner a hundred yards when he was happy to walk

and omitting that the privatized system and contractual obligations

means they are no longer able to do so




then putting it out there as a populist,simplistic bullshit,human rights issue to push through policy change,is a joy



i loves that guy

Cameron said something on TV today that was most poignant and contradicts your foolish labelling of him as an uncaring rich wanker politician.

He said "Ordinary people are frightened and live in fear of making the wrong decision in everyday matters relating to their jobs because they are shitting themselves about being sued because of this ridiculous act and judges interpetrations of it and that is very wrong" or something to that effect.

And he is so bloody right.
