Scrapping the Human Rights Act

[MagicalTrevor]

I've seen this all over social media today and whilst I've not read into this in detail, I've scanned the Conservative webpage about their plans.

To me, and I'm prepared to be corrected, it appears that they're planning on scrapping it and starting again, basing the new Act on parts of the old one. Not 'allowing people to be tortured' as implied.

Sure this would be like me saying, I'm removing my old tyres and replacing them with more appropriate tyres but somebody thinking that I'm actually going to run the car with no tyres.
Maybe a bad analogy ...
