Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Would we really want to take that path?

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

I find the number of people saying they want to block her as a response to this genuinely baffling. You don't need to like her. She's the leader of the opposition. Even if you're absolutely convinced she's wrong about everything, why not listen to ideas you disagree with?

I’m hardly a prolific poster - I tended to use the other place to read news and insights from those who are more informed than I! So don’t expect a huge amount my end, but if you have something interesting and thoughtful to say feel free to follow me so I can follow back!
