29 November 2010 20:1082333I have always believed we should have a codified Rights Act/Bill of Rights - I have also been of the opinion for a long time that it should clearly state the corresponding duties and responsibilities - so maybe it is the Conservatives bringing their policy in line with my view."Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean

30 November 2010 20:1682497You mean like all laws and regulations
That really is not a reason not to do it and it might actually help if people clearly understood what their duties, responsibilities and rights were"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean
