There are many other cases where British people have needed our Human Rights Act to protect them against the excesses or failures of the State.<br />Jon Danzighttp://www.jondanzig.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-69906379505849987682014-10-07T20:31:21.682+01:002014-10-07T20:31:21.682+01:00Extreme right politics and guns always work out we...Extreme right politics and guns always work out well.
