Theresa May: "I'm clear: if human rights laws get in the way of tackling extremism and terrorism, we will change those laws to keep British people safe."
@gargron GOOD LORD D:
Does she know that humans right laws are for protecting people?
@Gargron the image I have of extreme right is that of a tyrannosaurus rex with the brain as big as a pea
@Gargron what the fuuuuck
how does someone say that and not realize they sound like a fucking villain from a movie
@Gargron Translation: "If laws that stop me from killing people get in the way of preventing me from killing people, then I will change those laws so that I can kill people."
@gargron What the fuck.
Do her supporters even comprehend how stupid that is?
@Gargron I thought it was a fake account... fuck it's not.
@Gargron "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
@Gargron this one is gold
@Gargron al Qaeda, ISIS and the IRA have won.
@Gargron @jd Each of at least the last three UK governments has criticised legal judgements that have come down against them against them due to human rights law. Those in power never like to have their actions constrained by law, which makes it ask the more important to make sure those laws stay.
The rule of law is one of those national defining values we are supposed to be defending from the terrorists, isn't it?
@rochelimit @Gargron @jd May has always been an autocrat. Just look at what she did while at the Home Office to extend surveillance powers. The real worry is that she doesn't see the harm this does to the freedom of citizens.
"There's nothing in the Human Rights Act that gets in the way of effectively tackling terrorism," says Labour's Keir Starmer (former director of Public Prosecutions)
@jd @rochelimit @Gargron Yes, I heard that this morning.
@mkwadee @rochelimit @Gargron @jd
It doesn't affect her freedom. Therefore, any effect it may have on freedoms -- for some hypothetical 'other citizens' -- is simply a preposterous fantasy. >.>
@Gargron Oh boy. You are SO fucked. Get rid of her ASAP.
Or, well, enjoy your brexit (see what I did there?)
@Gargron She's selling freedom for reelection. Bad. really bad.
@Gargron she is the worst.
