Should the Human Rights Act be repealed?

Funny thing when the UK government is taken to the European Court of Human Rights about 98% of the cases are thrown out/dismissed or lost by the claimant.
In other words the judges in the various legal jurisdictions in the UK make safe judgements."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I’m going to do my best to read it (idle at leat some of it, the form gives links) before answering the 3 or 4 questions.

Funny that the UK had one of the world's best Human Rights records before somebody (naming no names) added the EUCHR into out legislation...
Undoing it will be difficult since a lot of new laws since then have been written to meet the EUCHR framework rather than the various pre-existing laws we used to use to the same effect. A good start would be to give the UK primacy on appeals, rather than the EU's Court of Human Rights; after all, we aren't in the EU.Blog? What blog...?Comment

And that there is actually another court that is linked to the EU?

Why do you hate Europe so much?
What I do hate is being governed by an unelected bureaucracy of statists, and a domestic civil service that gold plates every little diktat they come up with.
AS for Human Rights, ,what I was trying to say - very badly - was that incorporating the EU's version of the laws to enact the concepts of the ECHR was never necessary, since we already met all its criteria. All that inclusion has managed to do is provide a dozen get out clauses for the unscrupulous to exploit.Blog? What blog...?Comment
