It amazes me how willing people are to subjugate their rights because they’re told it’s a good thing. Until they personally need to exercise those rights of course - which they no longer have! Then they bleat. Protesters are bad because they’re looney lefties who are trying to stop the government doing their job. Nobody got as far as actually considering what the protest is about - the assumption is always that there is no justifiable cause. And one of the main thrusts behind Brexit was to remove the U.K from the evil clutches of the European Court of Human Rights. What business does it think it has holding the government to account? Why would we want laws applied so that they are compatible with basic human rights? What left wing nonsense entitled you plebs to a fair trial or right to family life or protection from inhuman or degrading treatment? This is just a criminal’s charter
Ahh but they're not thinking about their own human rights. It's all about those "illegal immigrants". Them who don't like the ECHR only want shot of them bcos they're getting in the way of us stopping those pesky foreigners from coming in, or from us sending them to Rwanda. They're not worried about the checks and balances provided by ECHR for themselves because they're also naive enough to think that a UK government and our public institutions will always look out for their best interests. If the easily triggered weren't so brainwashed by the right wing to believe that all their problems were down to immigrants and the poor, there would be zero fcks given about the ECHR.
Been stewing for some time (in China, Canada etc) . What observable state regime behaviour somewhere in the world have you seen that you deem to be the "bang" ??
Animal Farm was recommended reading when I was at school. It should be top of any list of required reading...which is why it never will be.
He's not wrong, but I am not sure my first port of call for a sustainable monetary and fiscal policy is Mick Hucknall.
When I was at school we had Shakespeare, Dickens and Austen beaten into us, presumably because the Major government wanted to create a generation of costume drama commissioning editors Animal didn't come into the curriculum until A-level, or to put it bluntly you had to choose if you wanted to study Animal Farm - and if you were doing any other A-Level, you weren't corrupted by it
At secondary school we read two of he Orwell "human condition" trilogy : 1984, Animal Farm. I would contend that the order of importance are : Road to Wigan pier, 1984, Animal farm as the themes become more specific as you go down the list.
On the subject of far-right ****heads who inexplicably have an audience sounding more than a little rapey...
