Human Rights Act

The Human Rights Act 1998 gives further legal effect in the UK to the fundamental rights and freedoms contained in the European Convention on Human Rights. These rights not only impact matters of life and death, they also affect the rights you have in your everyday life: what you can say and do, your beliefs, your right to a fair trial and other similar basic entitlements.
Most rights have limits to ensure that they do not unfairly damage other people's rights. However, certain rights – such as the right not to be tortured – can never be limited by a court or anybody else.
You have the responsibility to respect other people's rights, and they must respect yours.

It is immaterial of the persons Race, Religion colour or creed, the human rights act is there for all. The principle is worthy when applied correctly & judiciously, sadly in the UK it is so abhorrently enforced by misguided, over zealous self serving whining bigots so steeped in their own self importance & to the detriment of the victims, that it has lost its validity.

Far to much weight is given to the first paragraph (As this suits the bleaters cause) that the second & truly relevant paragraph is conveniently forgotten, left aside or just plain ignored ! as I have stated elsewhere you break the conventions & rules of a society you therefore forgo any claims to that societies leniency & protection.

How dare someone stand forth & plead for "Their Rights" when they have totally disregarded the rights of others & brought misery, despair & loss to someone else or their Family. As to those who represent these scum ! They should share the punishment of their defendants on the rare occasion when justice is properly served ! Or maybe be held responsible for said defendants behaviour over a specific period. Perhaps then they wouldn't be quite so keen to support these creatures !
