Comments on: Friday’s Rant from the Soap Box in MY living room… https://catskidschaos.com/2015/05/15/fridays-rant-from-the-soap-box-in-my-living-room-11/ Cats, kids, coffee and chaos Fri, 15 May 2015 19:58:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mrs Tubbs https://catskidschaos.com/2015/05/15/fridays-rant-from-the-soap-box-in-my-living-room-11/#comment-48134 Fri, 15 May 2015 19:58:49 +0000 https://madhouse.chocolateboxstudios.co.uk/?p=8209#comment-48134 The withdrawal from the Humans Rights Act was in the manifesto and the Daily Mail and their ilk have been running white noise against it for a while. Frankly I find the whole idea that the government decides what rights you have and when they can get set aside appalling.

We also have an EU referendum to look forward too. No doubt as they gear up for that one they’ll be keeping quiet about the amount of foreign investment and jobs we get purely because the UK is seen as a gateway to the single market. And the fact that the arrangement they’re proposing we move to is the same as Norway – we don’t pay EU subs (a saving), but we still have to enact EU laws (but have no say in how they’re drafted). The stupid … it burns …

I have also been ranting about the general election on my blog!

Me too! I worry that we will be allowing dreadful things that happened in history to happen again! Thanks for commenting!

The Human Rights Act is there to protect the most vulnerable in society and it mean that all human beings are (supposedly) equal – it’s so that atrocities like Auschwitz never happen again, right? Every civilised society should adhere to the Human Rights Act. And for a nation, such as ours, who played a crucial role in things like abolishing slavery to withdraw from it seems quite archaic! I dread to think of the consequences of this!

Controversial policies are always scary! Please feel free to rant anytime, I’m interested to see the comments on this post!

Surely nobody would actually allow this happen, I hope
