Politics: I stand by my freedom and right not to wear a mask, but I will vote to get rid of the Human Rights Act.

MaizieD I don't ever remember all the population being vaccinated when Asian 'flu was abound in the late '50's. I had two vaccinations at that time only because I was working on a ward with people who became sick and sadly died of it.

Not a mention when the horrendous Hong Kong flu was killing many in the late 60's either.

User7777, sorry about your predicament too. What are we supposed to do when nobody seems interested ---only in targets ?

Me too, ellan vannin,, just one jab so far. Needed 2nd dose , not 3rd booster. All caused by 1st jab, and being I'll on it. I would wage my docs not interested unless I can be jabbed according to their agenda. We are losing any rights we had.

I'm sure that EV, with her nursing background, knows perfectly well that you don't need 100% of the population to be vaccinated in order to keep a disease at bay.

I don't think anyone has any problem with the minority of people who can't be fully vaccinated. It's the ones who refuse to be vaccinated that are the problem. They are the ones who are threatening your 'rights' by weakening the over all 'herd protection'...

I'd guess that people voting for freedoms to be removed are those who normally do what they like and can't imagine that changing.

Interesting.
The same topic, with very similar wording, was proposed for discussion in a group to which I belong. You must follow the same directives.

The consensus was that covid, the Human Rights Act and the Police Act were all separate issues and it was perfectly responsible to respond differently to all three.

I am horrified at Raab and afraid for the future of our country.

I don't feel free at all because through no fault of my own I only had one vaccination and if proof of full vaccinations have to be provided at every turn, then where/how do I stand ?

So far as infection goes it's imperative I look after myself, while also safe-guarding others by keeping my distance, though I can't envisage any infection coming from myself if I don't go anywhere to pick anything up. No parole for me

I can't even join the freedom rebels in case I catch anything

Plus they will vote against having to show a vaccine passport but vote for having to show identity documents at elections.

The ridiculous thing is that both are happening today.

They will troop in and vote against the latest measures.

Then troop in or nod in agreement as Raab outlines the freedoms he intends to strip us of in the HRA.

People actually voted for these loons...?

I don’t understand why any MP would vote against the measures being introduced to try to control Covid.

I think they see the human rights act as solely concerned with immigration and the rights of immigrants.
I remember Theresa May wrongly stating that someone could not be deported as she would have liked, because he had a cat.
Therefore they think that they themselves have no need of the act.

So we have a group of rebels who for reasons of “ individual freedom” are rebelling against the latest measure being introduced with Labours assistance to compete the spread of omicron.

To me they make zero sense.

They have also supported the police act that takes away individual right to,protest, they are supporting the dogmatic reforms to the HRA without providing evidence for the changes, they have voted to take the individuals freedom of movement I can provide lots of other examples.

So how can they argue individual freedom at one time yet vote to remove it at another.?

I don’t know, could you tell us a little more?
