It is the human right thing to do.

Michael Gove intends to abolish the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights, which will no doubt water down or remove the rights we have left.
These rights covered by the Human Rights Act include: Right to life, right not to be tortured or subjected to inhumane treatment, right not to be held as a slave, right to liberty and security of the person, right to a fair trial, right not be retrospectively convicted for a crime, right to a private and family life, right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, right to freedom of expression, right to freedom of assembly and association, right to marriage, right to an effective remedy, right not to be discriminated against, the right to the peaceful enjoyment of one's property, and the right to an education.

The Act also imposes a duty upon governments to provide free and fair elections.

Now why would they want to remove those rights? We should be worried, and we need to stop this proposed amendment to our laws.

im still reading through all the stuff you guys are posting in the comments and it is really clear how much everyone values these protections. ive been spending my time looking into exactly how these changes would play out in court and its even scarier than i first thought.

this is getting way bigger than i ever thought possible and it shows how many people are actually paying attention to what happens to our rights. im honestly blown away by the energy building up here and its clear we arent going to just sit back while this happens.

This odious slug tried to destroy out education system. He is antediluvian in attitude. Cameron has let him loose on our human rights so as to restrict them not defend them.
