the uk government is trying to scrap the human rights act.
i’ve not seen a lot in the media about this so i’m going to do my best to put this into words and explain what will happen if the government is successful in replacing the human rights act with the rights removal bill.
this will mean that in the uk:
you won’t be allowed to say anything negative about the government
if you are disabled or chronically ill, you won’t be allowed to say no to being given a DNR in hospital
you won’t be allowed to bring ‘trivial’ human rights violations to court
public authorities (the police) won’t have to actively protect people’s human rights
the uk military will be allowed to basically do whatever they want overseas
if you ever commit a crime, they can disregard your human rights
the government will not be obligated to obey human rights
if you are from the uk PLEASE sign this petition, and also to everyone else, please please please share this.

Two shootings, almost 10 years apart. In the years since Sandy Hook, the only marked change in legislation has been teaching schoolchildren how to hide, barricade doors, and cope in a school lockdown. It was an event that could have been the last of such atrocities, yet the Senate decided the best option would be to place the responsibility of staying alive onto small children.
It should have ended at Sandy Hook.

This- this is a bloody mood
I’m always a slut for lying in bed for hours on end doing nothing productive.
