Rejected petition Bring in A UK Bill of Rights and Repeal the Human Rights Act

More details

The UK has its own unique character and as such a Bill of Rights, covering the whole of the UK, reflecting that character should be brought in to replace the Human Rights Act. This would ensure the unique features of life in the UK are correctly looked at rather than having to abide by an act, The Human Rights Act, which is out of date, out of touch with the UK, out of touch with what the ordinary person in the UK thinks.
