The Human Rights Commission....

19 December 2012

..was a complete waste of time.   It was basically just a way for the LimpDems to kick the serious issue of the disgraceful Human Rights Act into the 'long grass'.  This commission that wasted £700,000 was not even allowed to include the European Convention in its deliberations.

But there is one good thing that comes our of this.

This is an issue that could be a vote winner for the Conservatives as part of an 'unfinished business' manifesto.  A stick to beat the LimpDems and Labour with.  Labour because they brought about this appalling Act in the first place and the LimpDems for blocking reform.  But to do this Cameron will need to adopt a clear policy that frees us from the Convention and gets rid of the HRA.



Chris Grayling (above) the Justice Secretary should lead on the policy development, he is 'sound' on the matter and is the right person take charge.  Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General, is a liability though and will need to be sacked from that post to get progress on this.
