the Human Rights acts were drawn up over 50 years ago with the best of intentions following WW2 but over the years it become rather abused.I believe that the UK was signed up to the 'HR' convention by a certain Mr A BlairEricT

Interestingly, Britain penned the Act, imposed it on just about everyone else but were the last to actually sign up themselves.

Thanks, Eric, but I don't like to mention 'foreign' politicians in case I'm labelled a racist and sent before The Beak.

Incidentally, whilst on the subject, in my last year of high school my Father got posted to a USNAVCOMSTA on the North coast of Scotland. I suffered severe racial abuse and bullying at the hands of those 15 and 16 year old Scottish kids as soon as they found out I was English (actually, I'm officially Welsh, but that didn't bother them) to the extent that I played truant from school for weeks at a time. I only turned up for two O levels and that's why I didn't get either my dream job (Air Electronics Operator) in the RAF, or the substitue, air communications technician, and ended up joining the army instead as a radio tech.

Now, if those kids were all allowed to vote on the independence referrendum, you wouldn't be in the UK much longer

That was the first thing that came to mind when they said they were going to allow 16 year olds to vote. Canny types, these politicians.
