The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)

As a touch stone of our humanity and to contrast us from the world of barbarism like IS we have the ECHR. However Cameron and his bandits want to get rid of it. How deeply ironic that at the very moment Cameron is in Afghanistan Graying is in London tearing up this law. As the founders after WW2 Churchill and others were its co-signatories. Born out of the illegitimacy, mayhem and inhuman cruelty of that war we were are its parents. The brains behind this enlightened work was non other than the MP David Maxwell Fyfe KC (1900-1967). As we celebrate the 800th anniversary next June of Magna Carta how has it come to this? Small myopic politics. In order to save his political skin Cameron is prepared to sell his 'mess of pottage' to Nigel Farage the leader of UKip.
Two former members of his cabinet Clarke and Grieve are dismayed by this splenetic action. Bad hasty decisions make bad laws.
Hopefully this will be the final nail in the political life of Cameron and his Bullingdon chums as Miliband wins in May. If there was one reason to vote Labour this is it. Otherwise we are in the same Mafia gang as Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin and Putin. Its a bulwark against tyranny, arbitrary arrest and torture.
