Re: Human Rights Act ???
I like the one about "Right to liberty and security". Where does that leave us when idiots with rampant TB are wandering about, infecting others? Or is that covered by their "Freedom of expression"? I suppose burglars/muggers are simply exercising their right to freedom of expression as well.
I am sick of hearing about rights - why can't we have an Act that says:
You do not have the right to infect others with your potentially fatal diseases. If you refused treatment, you will be either isolated or compelled to undergo a full course. Why can't somebody section this dangerous idiot? - then he could be treated/isolated and the rest of us can exercise our right to security.
You do not have the right to break into someone's home with impunity. If you do so, you leave your "Human Rights" at the point of entry, and the householder/victim is entitled to defend him/herself and property.
As for Willow's question about the human rights of victims of crime - forget it - they don't seem to have any.
