There is a list of the contents of the Human Rights Act which the Tories want to scrap.

The Liberal Democrats stopped them from doing this in the Coalition.

I wonder what else they will try to do that the Lib Dems stopped them from doing before.

There is something rather sick about announcing this on VE day.

I personally quite like: The right to life.  The right not to be tortured.  The right to a fair trial. The right not to be forced into slavery and the right not to be discriminated against.

Now we start to see what the Tories are really like.
