The #RightsRemovalBill gets its 2nd reading on Monday the 12th of September.
This reduces our rights & allows the government to over rule the courts.
Please write to your MP to vote against it.

Will you write to your MP to vote against the #RightsRemovalBill ,(Bill of rights bill)?

It would be mentioning my petition that has been signed by 230k people & has so far been ignored by the government.
Do not reform the Human Rights Act

@Keir_Starmer
Please could I ask for you to vote against the 2nd reading of the Bill of Rights Bill on Monday 12th September.
This bill reduces our rights & passes power from the courts to the government.

All human rights charities & the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee oppose this bill.

I raised a petition to stop this bill & am very disappointed that the government are not debating it for before the 2nd reading.

It has 231k signatures & is the largest petition waiting for debate but has been waiting for 67 days. The Petitions Committee refused my request to schedule the debate before the 2nd reading.
"Do not reform the Human Rights Act"

Please could I ask for your support to ensure The Conservatives don't achieve yet another power grab & make themselves untouchable.

I know many of you want the Human Rights Act to be reformed to stop immigration, but the #RightsRemovalBill will not do that, it is simply a power grab from the government to enable them to control the courts & to make their legislation untouchable.

Tory MPs Warned New Bill Of Rights Won't Work To Tackle Illegal Channel Crossings

Remember lots of other countries are signed up to the ECHR & have legislation similar to the HRA but don't have the same borders issues as the UK

@Conservatives have simply used immigration & especially the Rwanda sideshow as an opportunity to manipulate people into supporting their Bill that takes our rights away.

What really surprises me is that many people who saw through the covid propagand, are believing the propaganda that the #RightsRemovalBill will stop the problem that they created.
The government rhetoric, the lies & the media perpetration are identical, why don't people see it?

Instead of securing our borders the government chose to deport people on highly publicised flights to a country that is irrelevant to the situation & has a record of human rights abuse. Why do that other than to trigger the ECHR into action.

I can't see what reasons they selected this approach, other than for the ECrtHR to rule against them & turn people against the ECHR.

We were played with covid, why do people trust them with their Human Rights?

Also remember this piece of legislation is not the only one quietly moving through, that reduces our rights. There was the
-PCSC Act that reduces protest rights
-The public order Bill that also reduces protest rights
-The Online Harms Bill that damages freedom of speech

There are probably many more that I have not noticed that we need to be vigilant for

Once these draconian Acts are in place we know the government won't hasten to use them. Within hours of the PCSC Act bring in place they used the "noisy protest" clause to stop @snb19692 1 man protest outside of parliament & confiscated his speakers.

We all saw the harsh lockdown measures they implemented using the Public Health Act: there was no governance, no impact assessment & opposing views were silenced.
Imagine how this government will behave with sweeping permanent powers?

Don't let them manipulate you into giving up your rights, AGAIN!
