  1. @hvanleeuwen Ja mede door het prijsopdrijvende effect van de #hra op de woonlasten op koopwoningen. Het is ook de oververhitte woningmarkt waardoor wooncooperaties woningen met lage huur tegen hoge prijs kunnen verkopen. Als ze daar nu eens voor de straat op zouden gaan…

  3. Ah, @ChrisMayLA6. I get that. The name #Charter88 is rarely mentioned. I have my own scars from similar fadings.

    But political groups are usually transitory. Often at their best when they live fast and die young.

    What matters to me is the fate of their ideas. #C88 achieved some solid wins (#FOI, #HRA), but its wider programme underpins most of liberal/left culture in the UK. The institutions are in trouble, but most progressive politics in the UK walks on C88 paths, even tho labels faded.

  5. @tino @jarno Nou het erge van de #HRA is dat ie ook nog eens voor *iedereen* de huizenprijzen en de huren laat stijgen. Dus het is ook nog eens een subsidie waar niemand wijzer van wordt, behalve de bank.

    Het IMF loopt al jaren te roepen dat we daar in NL iets aan moeten doen. Maar de liberalen blijven, zoals gebruikelijk met dit soort systeemsubsidies waar de overheid alleen maar armer van wordt, op de handen zitten.

    #vvd partij van de eigen woningschuld. Zo in triest dat iedereen stemt voor behoud van de #hra terwijl daarmee de woningprijzen alleen maar opgedreven worden (ook voor huurders) en mensen met schulden zitten die ze hun leven lang niet af kunnen lossen.

  12. Bijna 60% van de mensen met een hypotheek, hebben een (gedeeltelijk) aflossingsvrije hypotheek. In mei worden de regels aanzienlijk strenger en kunnen deze mensen bij het oversluiten of aan het einde van de looptijd van hun hypotheek in grote problemen komen.
    Combineer dat even met een jarenlange dip in de economie door de Iran oorlog en binnenkort staat half Nederland weer ‘onderwater’. Allemaal dankzij de lafhartigheid van partijen die de #HRA in stand blijven houden… radar.avrotros.nl/artikel/frag

  20. We’ve looked at how free speech in the UK isn’t ancient or absolute, how it’s conditional, qualified, and increasingly enforced by culture and institutions rather than courts.

    So can threats to free speech be spotted and protected agains?

  23. Farage loses vote to leave the ECHR

    Reform leader loses Commons vote

    November 2025

    Edited, 5 November

    Last week, Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform party, lost his Commons vote to leave the ECHR. Reform, along with many Conservatives, are pushing the idea of leaving the European Convention as means to solve the immigration crisis and in particular the Channel crossings. In a vote, 154 were against and 96 for leaving.

    Farage is not alone and in the Guardian link to this story, local readers will see the East Wiltshire MP Danny Kruger sat beside him. The Salisbury MP Mr John Glen (pictured) has also joined the chorus, no doubt following his leader Kemi Badenoch, who made an abrupt U-turn on the subject at their conference in September. It appeared in the ‘View from the Commons‘ piece in the Salisbury Journal (16 October). Entitled ‘Exiting ECHR not about watering down our rights‘ it seeks to justify the U-turn by Kemi Badencoch.

    ‘We do not need it’ ‘Mr Glen told us claiming that Common Law is all you need because ‘we are perfectly capable of upholding our rights and freedoms‘. Why then did scores of people have to go to Strasbourg to get justice? Why did the Hillsborough families have to wait years to get their justice? And the Birmingham Six were finally exonerated when judge after judge failed in their duty? And all those who spent years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. A list of other cases where people sought justice from Strasbourg can be found here. The Post Office scandal?

    The Conservatives have hated the Human Rights Act and it’s noteworthy that both Glen and Kruger ‘generally vote against laws to protect equality and human rights’ according to They Work for You. They are happy with a legal system that largely protects the rights of the powerful and the property owners but are somewhat less concerned with the rights of the powerless even assuming they could contemplate using the law at all.

    Mr Farage argues that we will not have true sovereignty until we leave the Convention, a similar argument to that put forward at the time of Brexit. The threat to our sovereignty is more likely to come from the Trump administration in the US. Trade sanctions and threats to NATO are much more serious than anything coming from Europe.

    The Guardian piece above was written by Daniel Trilling who came to Salisbury to speak on immigration matters.

  24. Conservative Party’s Plan to Repeal Human Rights Laws

    Speech by the leader of the Conservative party in Manchester

    October 2025

    These are some extracts from the speech Kemi Badenoch MP gave to the Conservative party conference in Manchester this week. We have selected those parts which focus on human rights issues and in particular the plan to leave the European Convention and to repeal the Human Rights Act.

    “[…] It is fundamental, why can’t we control our borders and remove those who need to go? All these

    questions boil down to who should make the laws that govern the United Kingdom? Conservatives, believe it should be our sovereign Parliament, accountable to the British people. The reality today, is that this is simply not the case.

    “This use of litigation as a political weapon is what I call lawfare. Well-meaning treaties and statutes – like the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Convention on Action against Trafficking drafted with the best of intentions in generations gone by, and more recent additions like the Modern Slavery Act, are now being used in ways never intended by their original authors.

    “What should be shields to protect the vulnerable, have instead become swords to attack democratic decisions and frustrate common sense. It is that whole system which we need to reform. And the place to start is the European Convention on Human Rights.

    Five tests that a country has to pass to be truly sovereign.

    First, can we deport foreign criminals and those who are here illegally?

    Second, can we stop our veterans being harassed through the courts?

    Third, can we put British citizens first for social housing and public services?

    Fourth, can we make sure protests do not intimidate people or stop them living their lives?

    And fifth, can we stop endless red tape and legal challenges choking off economic growth?

    [Lord Wolfson was commissioned to study the ECHR and our membership of it and produced a report the key conclusion was]

    When it comes to control of our sovereign borders, preventing our military veterans from being pursued indefinitely, ensuring prison sentences are applied rigorously for serious crimes, stopping disruptive protests, or placing blanket restrictions on foreign nationals in terms of social housing and benefits, the only way such positions are feasible would be to leave the ECHR.’

    Commitment to leave

    [Badenoch] “We must leave the ECHR and repeal the Human Rights Act. Conference, I want you to know that the next Conservative manifesto will contain our commitment to leave (our emphasis). Leaving the Convention is a necessary step, but not enough on its own to achieve our goals. If there are other treaties and laws, we need to revise or revisit then we will do so. And we will do so in the same calm and responsible way, working out the detail before we rush to announce.

    “The rights we enjoy did not come from the ECHR. They were there for hundreds of years in our common law. Parliament has legislated over centuries to reflect and protect our freedoms. Human Rights in the United Kingdom did not start in 1998 with the Human Rights Act, and will not end with it. As we work through our detailed plan, we are clear that leaving the ECHR and repealing the Human Rights Act will not mean that we lose any of the rights we cherish”. […]

    Comment

    The statement by the Conservative leader is clear and unequivocal. Even allowing that it is a speech a long way from an election and designed to encourage a party currently scoring badly in the polls, it is part of a worrying trend with more and more voices calling for us to leave the ECHR.

    The big claim towards the end of her speech quoted above that ‘Human Rights in the United Kingdom did not start in 1998 with the Human Rights Act, and will not end with it‘.’ Many did start, and some will end if it is repealed. If there will be no difference, then why the desire to end it? She seems to have forgotten that the HRA was introduced because people had to go to Strasbourg to get the justice denied them in the British courts. It is nonsense to claim that the HRA has added nothing of benefit to the rights of the ordinary person.

    There are likely to be many who will disagree with Lord Wolfson’s benign conclusion that the proposed departure from the ECHR would be fully compliant with the Belfast Agreement.

    Leaving the ECHR will be a retrograde step and have repercussions for our international relations. It is likely to make trade between us and Europe more difficult. We will join Russia and Belarus as the only nations outside its remit. Repealing the HRA – which has been promised several times before by Conservative leaders but never carried out – will seriously damage our rights as citizens. Combined with recent legislation to limit protests for example, it will be a retrograde step.

  25. 25th Anniversary of HRA

    Today marks the 25th Anniversary of the Human Rights Act

    October 2025

    Twenty five years ago this act was signed and ended the need to go to Strasbourg to get justice. It fundamentally changed the law by giving fundamental rights to citizens. It is currently under threat and it, and the European Convention which predates it, are disliked by many of the political and media class. In the next post we shall discuss this in more detail.

    But today (2nd) we celebrate.
