26 Reasons we need to scrap the Human Rights Act

Because whose rights are we actually defending?

Another day, another newspaper headline about an illegal or foreign criminal that hasn't been deported because of a whacky judicial decision.

It is relentless. From a son not liking chicken nuggets back at home to a woman who became a ‘terrorist’ so would likely face a prison sentence if she was deported. It feels like anything can be manipulated into a spurious defense of human rights - meaning someone who has no right to be here, ends up being given the keys to the Kingdom.

I did an audit of recent deportation headlines… and what I found really demonstrates quite how much this erroneous and dangerous legislation is being abused.
