I'm trying to understand what you're trying to get at. Do you believe the wrong people get the wrong rights by the UK subscribing to the Human Rights Act? Do yoy believe the HRA isn't enough? I'd love to know!


I was asking in good faith in response to the parent writing about the HRA "vastly improving protections".

From wikipedia:

"Many rights established under the Human Rights Act 1998 were already protected under UK law"[0]

Genuinely curious who we think has benefited most from the protections afforded by the act, and why they weren't protected beforehand?
