End of the road for Human Rights in the UK

Scary Big Sister that wants to watch and monitor our every conversation, Home Sectary, Theresa May will get her long dream fulfilled if the Conservatives get into power again after the next general election, the scraping of the powers of the European Court of Human Rights. Today Justice Secretary Chris Grayling announced that the Conservatives would introduce it own bill of rights to replace European Convention on Human Rights, a convention that British Lawyers had a major hand in crafting to protect and define the rights of the people of every nation in Europe.

Under Conservatives proposals, after the next election, it would introduce a British Bill of Rights and Responsibilities that would allow them to be ultimate source of legal authority in the United Kingdom. In effect this would allow them to make up there own rules on what is and what isn't a human right and define how the bill is used, for example there are limitations on the use of the new bill meaning that not everyone will be able bring cases to protect their rights. It is clear that the purposed bill will do little to protect Human Rights in the same way as the European Convention on Human Rights, it would water done our rights and given Theresa May's surveillance state go on to threaten the people liberty and  freedom of speech.

The propaganda put out by the Conservative party makes it sound like the European Court of Human Rights is deliberately doing all it can to undermine British law and thwat the Governance of the country by sighting cases where the Conservatives disagreed with judgements against them but the truth is they have righted many wrongs. These include:

• Held the police to account for failing to investigate rape and human trafficking.
• Compensation for minors who were abused but ignored by social services.
• Upheld the rights of children to express their religious faith.
• Supported families fleeing domestic violence.
• Ensured the right to access to life-saving drugs on the NHS.
• Held hospitals to account when lapses in mental-health treatment have resulted in suicide.
• Given same-sex partners the equivalent rights and status as heterosexuals. 
• Ensured that inquiries into civilian deaths in Iraq at the hands of British troops have been independent. 
• Used to establish that failure to properly to equip British soldiers is a breach of their rights. 
• Stopped councils from misusing CCTV surveillance.
• Used against councils who have closed libraries.
• Stopped Councils that  have bypassed the rights of the disabled and the elderly.

These are some of the many things that the European Convention on Human Rights done to improve the country we live in, protect the rights of the individual and hold local and national Government account. They provide an outside body that the British citizen can turn to protect their rights. It isn't just the foreigners that the Conservative party would have you believe that are the people that benefit from European Court of Human Rights. 

Think before you believe the lies of political parties, any of them, and find out the truth for yourself. Not everything is black and white in this world even if some people think they are. Politicians of one country can be trusted with our Human Rights because they will abuse the powers as surely as night comes after day.
