Rejected petition Abolish Human Rights Act

More details

The Human Rights Act has caused so many problems: allowed illegal immigrants and terrorists to stay in the UK, given prisoners the right to vote and paedophiles the right to remain anonymous. There appears to be more 'rights' for those that commit a crime, than those who don't. It has frustrated the rights of orginary men and women and should be abolished
