Closed scrap Human Rights act

Closed on

The Human Rights Act is now routinely used by criminals to avoid deportation. If someone comes to this country and commit crimes ,they forfeit any right to stay here.
Yet Judges always seem to believe that their human rights are more important than those of their victims. The only way to stop this abuse of our trust is to get rid of the act.
The only people who will miss it are the lawyers who grow rich on these cases.
