I find it highly surprising that Theresa May wishes to scrap the Human Rights Act because it causes the government problems in trying to deport people "who perhaps are terrorist suspects".

I find it highly surprising that Theresa May wishes to scrap the Human Rights Act because it causes the government problems in trying to deport people "who perhaps are terrorist suspects". Some of those individuals the home secretary wished to deport were "perhaps terrorist suspects" because they came from Libya and were opposed to Colonel Gaddafi. Those men are now in Libya fighting alongside Nato to overthrow Gaddafi. How ironic then that the home secretary now wishes to scrap a piece of legislation which prevented her from deporting to Libya the same individuals whom this government is now supporting and who may well be running Libya in the months to come. Had there been no Human Rights Act, these men would now probably be dead, having been sent back to Gaddafi's dungeons by the British government.

    I believe this article makes an extremely important point, I think the answer is simply that the UK had a change in policy; and so their friends suddenly became their enemies. That seems to be basically what happened, however no doubt the US, Israel and other unscrupulous state actors and ultra high profit companies were involved. Hippocrates and criminals, is the way many including myself,perceive them; however they'll get away with it and that all they care about. Maybe someone occasionally claims a small penitence of compensation, but be tax payer pays not the wrong doer.
