UK SOS! Our human rights are under attack

THE NEW CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT:

'Among Michael Gove's first tasks will be to scrap Labour's Human Rights Act' - The Telegraph


Michael Gove has been appointed 'Justice Secretary' and 'Lord Chancellor' to see through the new Conservative government's manifesto pledge to scrap the Human Rights Act; introduce a new UK Bill of Rights, and sever links with the European Court of Human Rights.

Law Society president Andrew Caplen responded yesterday:
'The Human Rights Act is a fundamental safeguard of many of our basic rights and freedoms.  We will be pressing for the government to retain it.'
