Re: The sound you hear are the snorring pigs
"The Human Rights Act ... can be repealed or replaced by any UK government that chooses, with no impact whatsoever on EU membership."
True, the UK could (and did) do without the HR Act. However, one key point of the act was that it made it easier to bring cases before British courts, thus reducing the need to go to the European Court of HR.
Incidentally, the more a government claims that there's no need for them to be covered by a treaty or court at a higher, international, level, the more I tend to think they need just that. But perhaps I'm just getting cynical in my old age.
