If Cameron was serious about safeguarding the legacy of Magna Carta he wouldn’t be using its anniversary to attack fundamental rights - Lord Falconer

labourpress:

Lord Falconer, Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary, responding to David Cameron’s speech on the anniversary of Magna Carta, said:

“David Cameron claims he is safeguarding the legacy of Magna Carta but his own plans would scrap people’s basic rights and threaten the UK’s standing in the world.

“If the Prime Minister was serious about safeguarding the legacy of Magna Carta he wouldn’t be using its anniversary to attack fundamental rights.

“David Cameron should drop any plans to repeal the Human Rights Act and to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights immediately.”
