A New Bill Of Rights -or- Why Human Rights Are So Dangerous
Cameron
is using the European Convention on Human Rights as the "problem" for
which his solution is to throw out the British Constitution. His
intention is to give the appearance of being anti-EU in order to
undermine Common Law and impose European style human rights legislation
in the guise of a "new bill of rights".
Of
course, in a crass attempt to appear that he opposes such a move, the
very man originally tasked with implementing a new bill of rights, Nick
Clegg, is pretending that it in doing what he is doing in the way he has
done it, David Cameron is "turning [his] back on a long, long British
tradition of upholding human rights across the world."
The Danger of Human Rights
The
European model of "human rights" is dangerous. It is a model which we
should be fighting tooth and nail to prevent taking hold in this
country. It is based upon the premise that as a starting point, humans
have no rights. The only rights that humans have at the end of the day
are those written in legislation, whatever the source of that
legislation might be.
To
reiterate, then: the basis of human rights law is that humans have no
rights except those the political elite decide to grace us with.
So
when commentators write that human rights "are not something that can
be repealed or taken away", this is a downright lie. When they say that
human rights "extend to everyone", they only do so within the scope of
the range of rights expressed in the legislation.
Common Law
Here
in Britain, we have taken a different view for centuries. This is a
view diametrically opposite to the European view. Here in Britain we
have unlimited inalienable rights. Or at least, the only limitation on
our rights is where we infringe upon someone elses. In other words this
nation is built on the presumption of liberty. We can do as we please
unless the law says we can’t. And by law, I mean common law. Not judge
led, jury led. And not Parliamentary legislation, better known as Parliamentary whim.
The New Bill Of Rights
Any
attempt to implement a new bill of rights is, then, a deliberate act of
fraud by Cameron and Clegg. They are playing a game of faux opposition,
not only between themselves, but with the EU as well. In doing so they
intend to remove our inalienable rights and replace them with very
limited, very transient "human rights". In doing so they intend to
create a "Bill of Rights" which just happens to have the same name as
the 1689 Bill of Rights. Their hope is that we will soon forget the 1689
Bill of Rights, and embrace their fascist alternative.
This must not be.
