The Human Rights Act may not be perfect, I'm sure most of us have had occasion to criticise it. Just pause for a moment to imagine what sort of illiberal dog's dinner the government will make of reforms. One and a half weeks is not sufficient for interested parties to scrutinise the proposals. This should be undertaken with care and over a much longer time, with greater publicity and openness. Besides, I don't trust the buggers.
We ‘had’ a Bill of Rights. We ‘had’ rights and responsibilities enshrined within The Common Law.
The Human Rights Act was ‘only and entirely’ a means (by Bliar et al) to restrict, redistribute, reduce or remove those hard-won rights. A PC mask over the stealth imposition of ‘socialist’ ideals and the destruction of Britain (notice how in reality most was used to undermine independence and force 'global norms' on us?)
Leaving the EU was ‘supposed’ to lead to a ‘bonfire of legislation’ returning us to ‘what we had before’.
This ‘reform’ is nothing more than window-dressing concealing the continued acceptance of the erosion of ‘real’ rights.
