Enshrined Britishness

Since we're in the middle of a global health emergency and likely to face various oven-ready complications when the Euro-wogs isolate themselves for good, it is only natural that the mind of Her Majesty's Government should turn to tearing up the Human Rights Act. The Conservative Party, whose conception of human rights begins with Magna Carta, deviates hard right towards Hanging and Flogging, and terminates in the querulous whine that Some Lives Matter, has been squealing about political correctness and vexatious wogs ever since the act was passed more than two decades ago. Previous pledges to abolish it outright were replaced in last year's manifesto thingy by a mealy-mouthed hint at mere evisceration; but the Symonds administration has made a resonant symbolic gesture by appointing an actual expert to come up with an acceptable pretext. The stooge in this case is a retired appeal court judge, who will chair a panel of enemies of the people, leavened with commonsensical non-ideologues from a right-wing thick-tank whose presence will serve to deter all tendencies towards liberty, equality and other symptoms of cultural Marxism.
