Tories Break First Manifesto Promise before Election Campaign Even Starts

The Conservative Party has already broken one of its manifesto promises —
to immediately repeal Labour’s ridiculous “Human Rights Act” — and the election campaign has not even started in earnest.

The promise to repeal the Human Rights Act — which is actually just a mirror copy of the relevant European Union legislation which each EU member state is obliged to implement — was a prominent part of the Conservative election manifesto and at time of writing is still on the Tory website.
The Human Rights Act is used by the world’s scroungers and criminals to win the right to stay in Britain because deportation would “deprive them of a right to family life” and other excuses offered under that law.

The Tories had promised to “get rid of that law immediately” should they win the next election.

However, Shadow Justice Secretary Dominic Grieve has now admitted that his party has no such intention.
Speaking before a meeting of lawyers in London, Mr Grieve said a decision on the repeal of the act must “not be rushed.
“We would wish to consult widely on our ideas if elected and I would expect to do this by means of a Green Paper,” Mr Grieve said.

“I don’t wish to see the matter rushed. I’d like to think we can do it in the course of a Parliament.”

The “course of a Parliament” is five years, which means that Mr Grieve is fully expecting it to be a matter of years before anything is done about this grave travesty of justice.

Mr Grieve’s comments are a 180-degree turn from his public pronouncement at last year’s Tory party conference where he said that the act was “complete nonsense” and that “We’ll end it straightaway.”
* Although Mr Grieve has revealed that the Conservative Party’s earlier promises were nothing but more lies and deception, there is one factor which many Tories seem to have forgotten. This is that the Human Rights Act is merely a reflection of EU legislation.

Under the new European constitution, the EU legislation would take preference and decisions made under the EU law would still be enforced in our country even if the law was repealed.

The only way Britain could be freed from this legal nightmare is for it to leave the European Union — something which the Tories will never do, having already abandoned their “cast-iron” pledge to hold a referendum on the matter.
