Beyond doublethink: the bizarre world of David Cameron and British politics

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!
