It's about time that somebody did it!

[naomi24]

hereIam, I think she will - I think she must.

[dannyk13]

I also think that she will,she is only talking about parts of the act that would interfere with our security.

[naomi24]

Yes, danny, that's right.

[hereIam]

Well, I hope so naomi.

One doesn't have to rip up human right laws, merely amend them so they only cover true human rights; and ensure where human rights exist they are enacted in the way that best fits the needs of society.

[ummmm]

When you have people preaching hatred on the streets of the UK on film then they should have no right to appeal.

[jim360]

Which parts are those?

[naomi24]

Jim, the parts that stop us tackling terrorism. Did you not read the link?

[Peter Pedant]

well skim the link Jim
there is nothing in the Words of Truth that specifies which bits of the Human Rights Act is preventing the police for example acting on Italian tip offs that there was a terrorist loose

oops excuse me - it was nothing to do with the act
it was stupidity and inanition on behalf of those tasked with protecting us

normal night on AB then
