This is getting beyond a Joke

[DaveyWallis]

To withdraw from it or supersede it with a Bill of Rights would be incredibly difficult. Once it's in the legal system it's almost impossible to get it out.

It was in the Conservative manifesto in 2010 but they had to put it to one side as part of the coalition agreement if I remember correctly.

There is an argument that to repeal it would result in being thrown out of the EU. That is too big a decision to make by any government without a referendum.

Blair really f***ed us up with this one.

I honestly think that in about another 20-30 years people will look back and say that the Blair Government was the turning point when the UK really changed for the worst, possibly with no return.

Terrorism
Immigration
Economy
Europe
Illegal war

Thanks Tony.
