Below is a comment I posted in response to Richard Alcock’s article in the Guardian, here.

“Have those Rights which were so hard-fought-for against Fascism in the 1940’s really changed to the degree that we now need to abandon, and re-write them in a way which differentiates ourselves from our European brothers?

I doubt it.

Cameron has begun to dismantle our position alongside and in the centre of Europe even before his administration has entered office, in the ill-informed friendships he has made in the European Parliament. Is he going to take Britain to an even further level of isolation in rejecting our common Human Rights with Europe?

I suspect so.”
