which of these rights would you care to do without?

• The Right to life
• The Right to freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment
• The Right to liberty and security
• The Right to freedom from slavery and forced labour. 
• The Right to a fair trial
• The Right to no punishment without law.
• The Right to respect for your private and family life, home and correspondence
• The Right to freedom of thought, belief and religion
• The Right to freedom of expression
• The Right to freedom of assembly and association
• The Right to marry
• The Right to protection from discrimination in respect of these rights and freedoms
• The Right to peaceful enjoyment of your property
• The Right to education
• The Right to participate in free elections 

These rights are all currently under the protection of the Human Rights Act.
and yet now, these rights are under threat. The Conservative government considers them a threat. superfluous to the legal system.

imagine if any other country in the world was to take away protection of these rights by law. that country would be condemned, and considered really very backwards.

the media  is ranting and slathering like a rabid dog over the human rights act. I've evens seen it described on occasion as "the hated human rights act"
hated by who, exactly? who hates having their right to a fair trial protected by law. or their right to freedom from slavery, or their right to freedom of religion. perhaps they consider their right to participate in free elections, and vote as they see fit to be nothing more than a massive inconvenience. perhaps they would rather it were legal for them to be denied an education, or that they think it would be fairer if they could be arrested and imprisoned for disagreeing with the government in power, and to have no right to meet with others to protest against injustice where they see it.

the human rights act is there to protect us all, and yet, there are those that would like to see it abolished.

anyone in favour of this really ought to think about the enormity of what dignity and freedom they could be flushing down the toilet.
