Each country and culture is different but the Human Rights Act doesn't suggest protecting any rights that differ greatly in any EU country, they're just rights any human being should have regardless of where they are from.

You can't be a relativist and say every culture/country is different and turn a blind eye to other countries and what they do and then complain when things like the Holocaust or other genocides and massive violations of human rights occur, it just creates double standards and that is why we have agreements about human rights in the EU in the first place.

I care about the interests of this country and the people in it, but I think it is a bad attitude to life to just ignore what is happening in other countries.
