Another stall-setting rant by David Davies confirms his credentials at righter than right.
Most of it is Tory-paranoia boilerplate, but it repeats surely the most stupid of all Tory policies, the repeal of the Human Rights Act. Apart from the obvious implication – in the headline of this post – it also is supremely pointless. Unless the Tories also want to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, the Convention will still bind Britain, it will just be harder for people to exercise their rights, because they’ll need to go to the European court every time. The Tories – they don’t mind you having rights, they just don’t want you to exercise them (unless you’re rich enough to afford expensive lawyers).
