I don't see Gordon Brown repealing the Act?
If you don't want your Human Rights protected by statutory law then that's fine, go and live elsewhere and live under a legal system that isn't lenient on criminals. You'll find that there is far more injustice under those legal systems than under this one.
Yes people bang on about human rights, but for the most part they are unsuccessful. Nobody is going to accept that its unreasonable for a child witness to give evidence via video link, it is generally accepted that children, especially those that have been through traumatic experiences, are bound to give some impartial evidence and yes, even somewhat fabricated. But no judge is going to accept that that child is unreliable because at the end of the day, children don't just make up evidence that disgusting and naturally the effects of nightmares, stress and blocking out the memories lead to those problems.
It's not a problem with protecting human rights! It's a problem with sick people thinking they don't deserve to go to prison. You aren't going to solve that by taking away the Human Rights Act. They'll just find another technicality to fight.
