If only we'd enjoyed human rights in the UK before that day... Oh.https://twitter.com/jackofkent/status/649867686248357889 …

@JuliaHB1 Have you actually ever read the Human Rights Act? -
@JackofKent I realise that you are the legal expert, not me, but protection of our human rights in the UK does not require ECHR. -
@JuliaHB1 Again: have you actually ever read the Human Rights Act? Simple yes or no. -
@JackofKent have I read every single word of it, no. But what diff does that make to the fact that our human rights don't depend on ECHR? -
@JuliaHB1 If you have read it, which actual provisions of the Act do you disagree with? -
@JackofKent I don't disagree with any of the rights contained in it, I just dispute that we only have them BECAUSE of the HRA. We don't. -
@JuliaHB1 Not asking about substantive ECHR rights, but about the HRA: what parts of the Act do you think need repealing? -
@JackofKent nothing! I just think it's ridiculous for great legal minds like yourself to claim/imply that human rights were invented in 1998 - 4 more replies
