Scrapping the Human Rights Act: What about privacy and freedom of expression?

Re: I don't get Britain these days

It's hard to put my finger on what has led us to this scenario, but I can think of a few contributions to the list:

-Schools teach kids what to think, not how

-The miners' strikes and anti-iraq war protests getting nowhere seems to have led to a large degree of apathy

-Rapid rate of change for everyday living has left lots of people in some kind of weird auto-suggestive daze

-Ditto for advertising

-Lack of quality (informative and unbiased) television

-Boiling frog approach to rescinding our rights, most people are too dazed to know what is going on, even when you try and tell them!

Of course, it could always be just badgers.
