For all of you good British patriots out there who believe that we are all better together, I trust you will spare a few moments to ponder the latest promise from the Home Secretary Theresa May that the Tories will include a commitment in their next election manifesto to repeal the Human Rights Act. In addition, perhaps you will be a tad concerned about the latest predictions from health experts that the NHS will very shortly be no longer free at the point of use.

I have been warning for over a year now in this blog that Westminster (because its no use just blaming the Tories as the other two mafia families are just as culpable) fully intends to strip you of all your human rights and privatise the entire economic and social structure of the UK. By repealing the Human Rights Act you will, of course, lose any ability to hold Parliament and its Mafioso to account, and you will not be able to reverse the destruction of the NHS and the education system as all three parties are in this together (that is where they got the slogan 'better together' from). You see, when they tell us that we are all in this together, what they really mean is that they are all in it together, and that if we disagree then that is just hard luck.

Therefore if you vote to remain within the Westminster political system at the coming referendum you are voting to lose your human rights, your health and education systems, more cuts and reduced benefits, more zero hour contract working and all the delights that the neoliberal economic geniuses have in store for you.   

One of the immediate effects of a repeal of the Human Rights Act will be ever greater unaccountable surveillance and the continued growth of a police state. Any complaints about surveillance and government spying is heard by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal which sits in secret. We already have what are known as closed material proceedings in which the case against you is kept secret from both you and your lawyers. At the moment human rights lawyers are seeking redress against the government for illegally intercepting communications between them and their clients. In other words, the government will know the case against them before it even gets to court. This destroys any pretence of a nation governed by the rule of law. All the revelations about the activities of GCHQ make a mockery of the rule of law. This is the activity of a police state and denies the legal principle of 'legal professional privilege.' This principle allows that legal advice between lawyers and clients is kept private. The Law Society states that the principle of legal professional privilege means that

"certain documents and information provided to lawyers cannot be disclosed at all. It recognises the client's fundamental human right to be candid with his legal adviser, without fear of later disclosure to his prejudice. It is an absolute right and cannot be overidden by any other interest. The ability of clients to consult and receive advice from lawyers with certainty of absolute confidentiality is fundamental to the rule of law and the values of our democracy,"

Thus this government is actively subverting both the rule of law and our democratic political system. I trust you will ponder such things next September. You have been warned.
