The infamous New Labour of Tony Blair introduced the Human
Rights Act (HRA) in 1998 enshrining 15 rights one of which is the Right to
Life.
I am not sure about you but I always thought a
"right" was absolute without exceptions, however that is not the case
and through politics we end up with the following.
It's OK to kill 198,000 would be Britons every year simply
because they are mostly an inconvenience (European Court of Human Rights ruled
that foetuses are not covered by the HRA - do you think that's because they are
not human or not alive?).
However, it's not OK that children of other countries may
die and so David Cameron spends £11.7bn on international development. That
works out at £59,000 per Briton killed.
Apparently, it's also OK for you to be early to the Pearly
Gates when life saving treatment is withheld due to lack of resources. What isn't clear is whether two illegal wars, two
regime changes, payment of benefits to millions of economic migrants, the sale
of national assets at an under value (sadly Brown's bottom springs to mind at
this point and is a truly horrible image) and the bailout of the failed banks
are reasonable uses of resources or the cause of the premature deaths of
Britons purely for the egos of people like Blair and Cameron.
Oh yeah almost forgot you dying early due to lack of
resources is also OK if said resources have been used keeping murderers,
terrorists and other criminals alive and behind bars. I told you it's bizarre.
You can die because the HRA expressly forbids the execution of criminals.
But dying early due to lack of resources doesn't cover the
situation where doctors kill you through lack of food and water as in the
Liverpool Care Pathway. Or where the doctors and nurses kill you through
negligence / incompetence. Remember Mid Staffs?
So by now you're thinking that if you survive the womb and
the medical profession your life is yours huh? Absolutely not. If you have a
terminal illness you have no right to die so therefore your life is not yours
as confirmed by the MP's vote this month.
The police killing you is also an exception to the right to
life although they are not supposed to. The only question after that is how
does the Met police then end up with its own "serial killer"?
David Cameron's Government has extended the exceptions to
the right to life by the recent death by drone of two ISIS members that had
previously lived in Britain, which brings the estimated total of deaths by
drone to 10 or more.
So the Right to Life does not exist unless you are a
criminal or a migrant and if you are British your life isn't ever really yours.
Welcome to Britain please start committing non-violent crimes as soon as
possible. What a farce!
