HOW the HUMAN RIGHTS ACT has taken away our inbuilt RIGHTS and LIBERTIES. * It's the paradox of our age -the more HUMAN RIGHTS LAWS we have, the fewer rights we enjoy. AND I BLAME CHERIE. by Tom Utley
[Daily Mail-Friday, November 16,2007]
How many members of the Cabinet ever dreamt in their days as student activists, that one day they'd belong to a GOVERNMENT seriously proposing to allow Britons to be imprisoned without trial for as long as two months. How many thought they'd find themselves voting to restrict the RIGHT to TRIAL by JURY? Or systematically building up a DNA DATABASE of innocent witnesses and victims of CRIMES -including 150,000 children? Did Jacqui Smith or Peter Hain, in their idealistic youth imagine themselves calling for compulsory IDENTITY CARDS or demanding that Britons should be made to answer 53 QUESTIONS about their travel plans before they could be allowed to leave for a day-trip to Boulogne? Did the young Gordon Brown see himself rising in the Commons to announce the most Draconian restrictions on FREEDOM of MOVEMENT in Britain's peacetime history - body and baggage searches at railway stations, exclusive zones for cars in town centres, a ban on underground car parks in shopping centres? OF COURSE NOT. Indeed, most of the Cabinet cut their political teeth at student rallies denouncing authoritarian foreign regimes for behaving in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY THAT THEY ARE BEHAVING NOW. This sort of thing could never happen here in Britain, they thought - except in Northern Ireland, where most of them blamed the Troubles on successive governments' refusal to surrender to the 'legitimate' demands of the IRA.
Outrageous No, Britain was a free country (for reasons they never thought very hard about) and so far as they were concerned, it always would be. What they wanted was the same liberties for everybody in the whole wide world. 'Freedom and democracy for all-regardless of race, nationality or creed!' And here lies the great paradox of modern politics: It ids precisely because their ambitions knew no national boundaries THAT FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY are under greater threat in these islands than at any time since the war. I BLAME CHERIE BLAIR. That may sound like an outrageous charge to lay against one-not-very-remarkable women. But the more you think about the restrictions now being placed upon us, the more you realise how much they owe to the accident of her choice of career. When Tony Blair came to office in 1997, human rights law was comparatively arcane preoccupation of a handful of specialist lawyers. The tragedy for Britain's FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY is that by the time he left No 10, it was one of the cornerstones of our CONSTITUTION.
[We believe the growth of the lucrative human rights business has no doubt many sinister possibilities in that many law firms are now amassing millions from the new scourge and no doubt POWER and connections that enable them to become another political arm of GOVERNMENT. Our suspicions were aroused recently on a particular matter but has yet to be confirmed. An individual could be targeted by the industry in a conspiracy to remove someone who is not afraid to reveal matters that the GOVERNMENT and intelligence services would prefer to remain hidden. But there is no doubt that this influence of government is a real threat which should be monitored by a Select Committee of the House of Commons. From the early days of our Parliament lawyers have always had a marked influence within its precincts as they have today. On occasions in the far past they were even banned from being in the House. The spiders web being spun by those in the profession who wish to receive special favours from such a lucrative and power base industry needs watching more closely to day in November 2007 as it is a force that could turn out to be a modern INQUISITION. We ask how far have the tentacles of the Blairite clan have spread their influence and how far it is a growing threat in the industry to those who oppose their, and their friends in Government and their traitorous plans to destroy our CONSTITUTION-CROWN-COUNTRY with their traitorous ambitions?.]
