Any thoughts on this?Liz Truss, the newly appointed UK Lord Chancellor, told BBC radio 4 that the government is ‘committed’ to scrapping the Human Rights Act (HRA 1998) and replacing it with a “British bill of rights.”The Human Rights Act came into force in the UK in 2000, it effectively enshrines the protections in the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.
Many conservatives have long opposed the Human Rights Act, particularly since the Strasbourg Court protected prisoners’ rights to vote and refused several deportation orders. The move to scrap the act formed part of David Cameron’s 2015 election manifesto but since then the political landscape in the UK is barely recognisable.
Activists’ Concerns
Human Rights activists argue that Britain needs the “HRA 1998” more than ever citing widespread division and uncertainty in post-Brexit Britain. Many are wary of replacing the Human Rights Act with a “pick and mix”- bill, written by civil servants and politicians.He faced considerable opposition from a cross-party parliamentary committee, which warned that the proposed bill would undermine the UK’s international legal standing and “unravel” the constitution. A report from the committee stated:
“We urge the government not to introduce domestic human rights legislation that would jeopardise the UK’s participation in this important area of EU cooperation in the fight against international crime.”
Irish justice minister Frances Fitzgerald asked Michael Gove to consider Northern Ireland, citing Strasbourg’s external supervision as “an essential part of the peace process” without which the Good Friday Agreement could be in serious jeopardy.It is unclear what the British bill of rights would look like. Drafts, due to be published before the EU referendum, were delayed. A consultation on the future of Human Rights is now to be published “in due course”.
The Equality and Human Rights commission said:
“We welcome a debate on such an important issue and look forward to contributing to the development of ideas but would not support a reversal of the leading global role Britain has long played in protecting and promoting human rights.”

As long as the UK upholds its commitments on Minority language rights, I am fine with it. One of the few reasons I could think to be in the remain camp was that very issue, and to strongly encourage my sister to vote remain.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

I can understand that people might like their sovereignty, but this strikes me as being unbelievably petty.

A complete hijacking by the elite. Unelected bureaucrat's legislating law. A huge transfer of power to a government more right wing than Thatcher.
Additions will most likely include everything that got booted in the 'snoopers charter.'

I think I'll wait and see what the replacement will look like first.

I am extremely concerned about a government that has not even been elected making changes to human rights laws (or any laws for that matter), especially a TORY government.
We already know Theresa May is a lying, conniving bitch. Why she is even allowed to make any alterations before an election is held is beyond me... if it were up to me she'd have been banned from government for the last report she falsified.

Not really. A good chunk of those didn't actually want to leave, a good chunk will be dead by Friday due to old age, a large chunk has no fucking clue what the fuck they voted for. And a large chunk doesn't give a shit how many civil rights get shredded as long as they get to kick out all the Polish plumbers and all the Pakis peddling curry. Originally Posted by dribbles

Brexit. The dumbest thing a European country voted for since 1932.

The clue is in the name, a British Bill of Rights has nothing to do with the European ill conceived Human Rights Act. Originally Posted by Djalil

It's torries writing it, that's all you need to know. The same people (May included) who have doctored multiple government reports to influence legislation that suits their own conservative agendas. Originally Posted by Aeula

I think its definitely right to review current human rights legislation. I don't believe prisoners should vote and foreign people who commit crimes should be subject to deportation depending on the severity of the crime.

Um did you miss something, British Independence Day was June 23rd, it is not a European country anymore. 17 million dumb people you say? Wow you must be a clever one. Originally Posted by Mihalik
