For clarity purposes it achieved royal assent in 1998. Hence the HRA 1998 but it was not in force until 2000. Hence it is 15 years old.
20 now...
Shadow Boom god I wrote this 5 years ago as a law student. Awful times 😂

So the UK government wants to pick and choose which humans are entitled to human rights, that sounds pretty awful to me.
In UK mate. I think it is fare, because this is UK not EU and a gay laws allowence. Legislation system in EU is a rubbish, and all countries must quit the EU, to be sovereign with their own legislation systems and human rights act.
@@dimitard2423 yeah, I’d love to see that happen in Hungary 😂. Nice thought, but it won’t work. Without the EU politics would just revert back to 1930s.

he explained it really well
As there is no administrative power / mandate , to back up The Act , what is the use for having them?
People who somehow think that the conservatives are against human rights make me laugh. It's very important that they make this change.
As I have just finished with education, I have not been informed enough about the political system that we live in. I have had to find out for myself what our politics really stand for, My question is when David Cameron receives the answer for the referendum on the EU what will be the benefits of leaving the EU?
Leaving the EU will reduce the UK's GDP because the large companies that produce the most wealth rely on selling to Europe. Being in the EU helps companies sell to Europe as they are able to avoid trade restrictions and punitive taxes. In addition, UK companies can attract business by controlling their overheads and therefore their selling price, through the use of migrant workers who are delighted to work for the minimum wage and can only come to the UK because of our EU membership.
Membership of the EU costs the UK £14 billion a year but the income exceeds that by a considerable amount. And remember that the services we enjoy like the NHS, rely on this money.
***** You are aware, are you not, that Labour proposed similar legislation. Why would that be, do think? My guess would be EU Directive 2006/24/EC of March 2006, commonly known as the Data Retention Directive. It ran in to trouble in the European court last year, but it looks like it might be back in business. But hey, let's shout "Tories" and all will be well.
hello from the worst possible future
There’s very few benefits from leaving the EU, an exception would be the freedom to negotiate the UK’s own trade deals. Economically, it’s a disaster.
A very biased sound bite on a very complex subject Not good journalism and no not helpful
Says someone who is obviously biased themselves. You clearly always think the bbc is biased, stop watching it.
Everyone deserves human rights
#informative
You've explained why they don't like the Act, but not precisely how they would change it: what's out/what's in?
As of yet nobody knows. Conservatives were supposed to draw up a draft by the end of last year and in 2010 and still have produced nothing. My concern is that they will restrict certain facets of the legislation by restricting what is "public" and "state" which they readily do so already by privatising so much of the public sector. And no not necessarily the NHS. The bigger picture shows the same trends. The Land Registry for example is currently under threat.
Volina said to me, that I can clean my ass with European Convention on Human Rights. I realised on 8th of september 2020, that He was actually correct! THAT'S IT! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Shame to use the emotional words "under threat" in this video, it gives the idea that a progressive change on human rights in the UK as voted for by the British people is a bad thing eroding the importance of democracy. We also have the only country that is not signed up to the bill refereed to as a dictatorship. There is clear bias in this piece released by the BBC which is a shame as it is a Newsbeat piece and is mainly going out to young adults in society who are still trying to make up their minds and should be presented with the facts in a more neutral manner.
***** Thanks for the response and the open dialog I really appreciate it. 1st I would like to point out that I believe you 80% stat is opinion and not fact. If you can provide data that shows it is categorical of course I will accept it. Yes I agree that Hitler was voted in, but of course so was was every democratic government. There are flaws in every system. They don't make them the rule. It is a tragedy that people voted for Hitler. Would you want to compare every democratic decisions to that choice of those people? I hope not.
"Scrapping" is once again a very emotive response to the situation. Much of the human rights act would be upheld in a British Bill of rights. I hope that the Newsbeat viewers will pay great care and attention to the actual changes between the two and decide on what is right and wrong in those changes for themselves without pressure or prejudice. If they are old enough in the next election I hope the simply respond to any status-quot or changes in the way they vote.
It’s obviously a dictatorship though, I mean, I’m sure you know that by now.
If the Human Rights Act was introduced in 1998 then is it not 17 years old? I should know - I was born in 1998!

Subject : Demand for the amount of UAD38200/-only are owed to me since 2008, my translation charges rendered from 3/1/2007 to18/12/2007, for Public Prosecution of Sharjah, Ministry of Justice, UAE,
I would like to draw your kind attention that I worked with the Public Prosecution of Sharjah, Ministry of Justice, UAE, as a multi- language translator from 3/1/2007 to 18/12/2007.
The Public Prosecution of Sharjah employed me and was supposed to arrange work visa for me, but PPS could not arrange work visa during one year, therefore I was forced to leave UAE unwillingly, avoiding illegal stay in the state, Keeping in mind that I had to pay UAD200/- only against each day as penalty, if I stayed without ligal work visa.
After I sent my work details along with necessary documents to the Public Prosecution of Sharjah, as well as to the Ministry of Justice, Abu Dhabi for making payment.
The papers were sent by FaDex special courier in October,2009, and received by an employee in the Ministry of Justice, Abu Dhabi and the same documents were sent to Sharjah Publi Prosecution.
I repeatedly requested the Public Prosecution of Sharjah to make the payment, but no response was given from any side. I have been requesting for making payment since 2008
I visited UAE in September 2017 and negotiated the issue with Attorney General of Public Prosecution of Sharjah Anwar Ameen Al-Harmoodi as well as with Majid- Attas concerned officer in Ministry of Justice Abu Dhabi / Dubai.
I resubmitted the documents in ministry of justice, Dubai. Majid told that he will take necessary action to make the payment.
Afterward I contacted them on line and sent emails in this regard but they did not make payment so far.
Now the wages owed to me became a legal matter, they may be held liable for the costs related the wages I am owed. They may also be required to pay a penalty in the form of additional funds and legal interest as required.
It is my legal right to claim my wages. I was forced to visit Dubai to claim my dues which over burdened me. I am a retired person and have no source of income.
I am also a patient of cardiac artery dieses and suffering from many dieses. I urgently need money for my medical treatment.
In light of above mentioned detail, I humbly request Minister of Justice to pay my wages earliest possible.
Hope His Honour will take necessary action for making
payment earliest possible.
Thanks
Yours Faithfully

Article 17
Prohibition of abuse of rights
No State, group or person has any right to engage in any activity or perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth within The Human Rights Act.
Simply by talking about conspiring to or attempting to change our rights is unlawful under Article 17.
I've heard the minimum wage entitlement will also be effected under the human rights act????
Unlikely. Minimum wage isn't part of the governing relationship between the state and the person. It is also subject to change too frequently to meet inflation and demand to warrant putting it into long term legislation.
Scrap it! It protects criminals!
Criminals should have no protections?
