@4VNQ2BS3yrs3Y
No, but criminals should lose rights depending on the severity of their crime/crimes.
@9FRFHMS7mos7MO
Yes, but replace it with a reformed version codified and agree by referendum and parliament vote and blocked from being removed or amended by parliament without another referendum
@8JYNF9P3yrs3Y
People who have committed crimes inflicted on children and vulnerable people, such as sex crimes, homicide, etc, should loose these rights.
@8GHCTYY4yrs4Y
The question is far too broad to answer accurately.
@9BJG36C12mos12MO
There should be something called ,,Labour Camp”. In this camp you’re going to make for example manufacturing, building roads and being a farmer. They can I to arrest if the are pro Russian and pro communist.
@9CDVCPX10mos10MO
A slippery slope. Many would have the audacity to call socialist policies Communist.
The ironic reality is, many UK voters' irrational fear of Socialism is allowing the government to slowly lurch towards Communism.
@9LH758X1wk1W
No, but it should be strictly interpreted by the courts, any extension of Rights must go through Parliament
No however there is a need for some amendments in domestic law which will then help to comply with the ECHR as well as modern day trends
@9L4GBX94wks4W
Yes, whereas the act itself is fine - unfortunately the case law that has now embedded itself around the act allows for too much misuse and excuse and it now does not follow its own spirit
@9KZM56S4wks4W
No, although the Human Rights Act only tied our hands to the EU courts etc, but us doing a stupid thing like that will lead to other countries in the EU that are puritan to do the same. Hungary being an example!!
@9KVR46B1mo1MO
Only if the government cements our rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of expression and the right to self defence in law and that it clearly states that those rights superceded all other laws in perpetuity.
@9KS4Q6D1mo1MO
should be a more in depth human rights with focusing on on humans business military wars and criminals
@9KLK3YZ1mo1MO
No, but criminals of major sentences should have some of their rights reduced/ limited for a set time period both during and after sentence
@9KKLVVX1mo1MO
Copy and paste much of it into British law i.e. British Convention on Human Rights (BCHR) but have it so we don't have to accept free movement of asylum seekers like the ECHR.
@9KHHLGP2mos2MO
Human rights are a concept that aims to prevent abuse against people who have committed crimes. Human rights should not be used as a way to let a criminal use the system and take advantage from it.
@9K7MC8B2mos2MO
The ok should have more control over human rights in our country. I also think it should be completely overhauled. Criminals should be treated like criminals.
@9K65KGC2mos2MO
Yes, the UK should create a written constitution for a federal republic than includes a declaration of rights
@9JXDLXC2mos2MO
no, human rights apply to ALL humans regardless of criminal status and any attempt by the government to weaken these rights to pass legislation should worry the general public
@9J49RVN3mos3MO
A codified constitution, like the United States has, would benefit us as a society, though it depends on what would go into that constitution.
@9J49LXQ3mos3MO
No, but given Brexit has occurred we should be reviewing any central policy implemented through the EU for suitability in a UK-centric purview
@9HWFSLG3mos3MO
No, but illegal migrants should not get any rights in the UK and terrorists and pedophiles and child killers should have rights stripped.
Everybody should have basic human rights, abd be able to use drugs for personal use. Free medical care for the poor and focus on the homeless and mental health of UK citizens.
@9HTKK9V4mos4MO
Yes, but there are some regulations that are ridiculous. This needs a discussion as to which regulations are over the top n take ownership of people for their stupid decisions.
@9HTJYRSConservative4mos4MO
Yes, and replace it with a constitution-style article which provides greater control to UK institutions.
@9HRC7Q74mos4MO
NO abolishing internationally recognized rules will encourage regimes that violate these rules that democratic safe nations like Britain do not care about human rights abuses and violations of international law and therefore will encourage dictators to abuse these rights
@8WKMSQJ3yrs3Y
No, entrench it instead
@8W74PY43yrs3Y
No, copy paste the American constitution.
Keep it and have a heavier leaning for freedom of speech
@8W3FKRT3yrs3Y
@8VFPVM63yrs3Y
The british government doesn't follow it anyway
@8VD5H963yrs3Y
No, criminals should lose many rights however after 5 years out of their sentence and release they should start to regain their rights as it is unfair that many have their entire lives ruined due to their past actions but if they are jailed again in the span of 5-10 years they should not gain these rights back
@8V3DX6R3yrs3Y
Human rights in the UK should be amended
@8TYXDYF3yrs3Y
I think the human rights act should protect people who have observed and respected the rules of the human rights act. Bill of rights is also a good idea but it needs to be a bill of rights everyone in the UK agrees on. There needs to be a more defined position on what needs to be a rule and what happens once you take those human rights away from others like children and parents. For the victims of murderers of pedofiles need a straight life scentance. If you have the potential to do it once you do again. Give them good food let them live well in prison so they can reflect for a long time. Edu… Read more
@8TW79YY3yrs3Y
no but those who have committed crimes should be questioned and tested if the can become better people and if not they should have some rights removed
@8TVJGSV3yrs3Y
Do not abolish - amend to incorporate ideals that we have had under the European Human Rights Act
@8TSMSVL3yrs3Y
Yes. Copy paste the Constitution of the United States. The ideal human rights.
@8TMWMQJ3yrs3Y
@8TMVCVY3yrs3Y
No but the Act needs to be reviewed
Only if it is replaced with something Akin to the American Bill of Rights.
@8TDC9SK3yrs3Y
The human rights act currently used (the EU version) should have the section which regards "morals" and replace it with what it was initially meant to be, absolute freedom of speech as long as they are not genuine threats. The right to freedom of speech by definition means you can say whatever.
@8TC6JMF3yrs3Y
Yes, replace it with a bill of rights that gives the UK more legislative control
Make it so that convicted criminals lose many of these rights for a period that is at least six years longer than their sentence not only as part of their punishment but also as a way of trying to nudge thm back to the straight & narrow .
@8T46JNX3yrs3Y
Not enough knowledge of this subject
@8SST2LY3yrs3Y
UK should have ther eown act which is pretty much the same as EU human rights and fix whatever problems we would have
@8SQV6Z83yrs3Y
No, expand it in a codified constitution
@8SQPLBS3yrs3Y
Some of the human rights policies don’t fit our needs so it needs reform.
Amended to allow death penalty
@8SPSKDX3yrs3Y
No cause we all have right to freedom of speech
@8SN6JT73yrs3Y
What is a human rights act
No, but criminals should lose a couple of these rights
