Farage to Unveil Plan to Scrap Human Rights Act as He Pledges UK Bill of Rights to Prioritise British Citizens

Nigel Farage is set to unveil his proposals to leave the ECHR and scrap the Human Rights Act and replace them with a Bill of Rights that Reform says will prioritise British citizens and allow the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. The Mail has more.

Nigel Farage is this week set to unveil his proposals for mass deportations of asylum seekers who come to the UK on small boats.

The first step of Reform’s plan is to leave the European Convention on Human Rights and to scrap the Human Rights Act, which enshrines the convention in British law.

This would then be replaced by a British Bill of Rights, which would only apply to British citizens and those who have a legal right to live in the UK.

The legislation would not include any reference to human rights but instead refer to terms such as “protection of liberty” and “free speech”, the Times reported.

Zia Yusuf, one of Reform’s most senior figures, said: “It will have nothing in it to help activist judges to stop flights taking off.

“It will prioritise the rights of British citizens over foreign ones. We are not going to flinch. We’re not going to be intimidated.

“We are going to deliver for the British people. It’s the only way to restore this country. To stop the invasion from happening.”

Mr Farage will use a press conference on Tuesday to publish his party’s plans for dealing with the Channel migrant crisis, should he become Prime Minister.

Arresting asylum seekers on arrival, automatic detention and forced deportation to countries such as Afghanistan and Eritrea are among the proposals.

They also include deals with third countries – which could include reviving the Tories’ Rwanda scheme – and sending asylum seekers to British overseas territories such as Ascension Island as a “fallback” option.

Mr Farage has claimed the plans could see hundreds of thousands of people deported and five charter flights taking off from the UK every day.

The Reform leader said a British Bill of Rights would include “the freedom to do everything, unless there’s a law that says you can’t”.

He added: “The opposite to that is the concept of human rights, which are state-given. We have got academics working on it. There is a huge amount to do.”

Good ideas. Just a start. EU HR act has disabled the UK. Withdraw. Then get busy and remove ourselves from the UN, WHO and all the other globalist/totalitarian agencies. We will need to deport about 10 million people to survive as a coherent state (real pop is 80 million not 67 million).

Kind of encouraging though not sure why he needs an army of academics- just copy the US one and include some
stronger wording limiting the tax raising powers of the state. But the fundamental problem they will need to deal with is whether you stop the next government repealing it. The US constitution is hard to amend and requires a supermajority of the federal legislature and consent from a high proportion of the states. Parliament has always been sovereign here. But worth a try if only to set a marker and dare others to say they would repeal it.

The US one was based on the English one of 1689 which somehow went missing.

That’s because the 1689 Bill of Rights gave PROTESTANTS THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS FOR THEIR DEFENCE, a clause which was included after the Armed Catholic Massacres of Unarmed Protestants.

Politicians of many parties have been proposing a “New Bill of Rights” in order to quietly dispose of the awkward clauses in the 1689 original, and to sneak in extra “diversity & equality” clauses and keep British citizens disarmed.

Unless you are Sikh, for example, for they are already allowed to bear arms, pretending they are “traditional” and “religious”, such as six-inch steel turban pins, disembowelling daggers, and the swords they were brandishing in front of their London temples during the riots.

Indigenous Brits have been arrested for keeping a fruit-paring knife in their car glove box to peel apples at lunch, while even Sikh schoolboys have been allowed to boastfully show the Disembowelling Daggers they all wear concealed beneath their clothing.

Meanwhile, Indigenous Brits would be arrested for brandishing so much as a carrot.

No, they are not any more “noble” than anybody else. That is just the image they like to project to Gullible Westerners.

Sikh Gangs were one of the three types of INDIAN THUGGEE MURDERERS, THIEVES & RAPISTS who preyed upon the population of India for years, making depraved ritual human sacrifices to Kali-Allah the Moon Spider Goddess of Death, also called “The Mother Goddess of All India”. To this day, their “Jagratta” wedding music hides its origins, when Gang Musicians played loudly all night to cover the screams of the victims. Their topknot handkerchiefs were used to strangle their victims, and their Disembowelling Daggers were used to cut out the hearts to be offered up. The women and child victims were either killed, raped or offered as Child Temple Prostitutes to Kali-Allah temples.

The other two types of Thuggee Gangs were Muslims and Hindus, which were all finally suppressed by the British Army campaigns led by the

HEROIC ENGLISH MAJOR-GENERAL SIR WILLIAM HENRY SLEEMAN.

This may or may not be the case but that’s besides the point: People have moral and even a legal right to protect themselves from becoming victims of violent attacks which the state often cannot do even if it was actually willing to do so. And this necessarily includes to arm themselves in whichever way they deem sensible or necessary. Eg, even women can easily use guns. And no woman should ever have to chose between tacitly accepting to get raped or to become greviously injured first by someone who’s physcially much stronger and could do this effortlessly.

A right of physically strong people to do with physcially weak people whatever damn well pleases them will always exist in practice if those weak people aren’t allowed to to resort to more technical means of self-defense than kicking and punching.

Excellent post, especially with regard to the outrageous “laws” which prevent British women from using any kind of object for self-defence, such as pepper sprays.

Those laws also prevent British citizens from defending themselves against vicious animal attacks, such as dogs. At least farmers are exempt, allowed to shoot any dog threatening their livestock. Farmers lose £thousands of pounds worth of livestock every year from dog attacks.

I have serious doubts about the usefulness of pepper spray unless employed by police officers against confused OAPs wielding butter knive, ie, in a situation where no real physical danger to the people employing is present. Because otherwise, what’s the outcome? An attacker possibly rendered incapable of continuing with the attack for a rather short period of time who’ll be seriously pissed off once he has recovered and aware of the pepper spray on top of that. This means it’s “run for your life” afterwards and hopefully find a safe place before this has happened.

A sensible means of self-defense must render an attacker physically incapable of renewing the attack for the forseeable future. That is, wound him seriously enough that he’s physically incapable of continuing until the wound has healed. Shooting someone in a leg will usually accomplish that.

Their main mistake was to establish the US Supreme Court, which has continued to practice “Creeping Kritocracy”, in the form of “Legislating from the Bench” and “Judicial Overreach”, which also infests the entire UK judiciary.

If it ain’t in the US Constitution, it’s no business of the Supreme Court, and yet they interfere in every aspect of the lives of American citizens, without anyone ever calling them out.

I’m by no means an expert, but the main problems (Abortion, Gay marriage) seem to have been caused by the 14th Amendment (“Equal protection clause”) which was forced on the Confederate states after the war in which they tried to defend their right to secede from the Union. 20th and 21st century courts found rights in it which nobody thought they were voting for when the amendment was adopted – an amendment designed to deal with the issue of freed slaves. I don’t think the original designs of the Founding Fathers have been so easily corrupted, though they may not have expected the judiciary to go so far off the rails and to invent rights that nobody at the time thought existed. Ultimately it’s up to the legislature to draft more precisely worded laws, though inventing rights based on the constitution is trickier to deal with – however Trump dealt with it by appointing actual conservatives to the court, rather than fake ones.

More truth spoken by an ex-muslim, who I’m sure certain bigots will still look down on and ‘other’ just because he’s not white; ”An ex-Muslim explains there is no moderate Islam, as did Turkey’s Erdogan. Well educated Islamists use playing the victim & Islamophobia to manipulate its useful, often leftist, idiots. He refers to its “inherent violent culture it breeds makes you somehow a xenophobe.” https://x.com/DaveAtherton20/status/1959560136780898350 Words of wisdom from Gad Saad. What he says about Jews can be applied to any and all groups of people, and is a reminder that it’s ignorant and irrational to tar entire peoples with the same brush. But evidence on a daily basis shows us that it’s Islam which is the most unsuitable, dangerous and hostile towards all other religious ( and non-religious ) groups/Western culture as a whole; ”Yes, Jews are just people like any other group in that there are lovely, kind, and honourable Jews, and nasty, degenerate, idiotic Jews. The problem with Jew-haters is that they assign a dispositional evil to being Jewish. I don’t think that Muslims are good or bad by disposition. But I do critique specific tenets of Islam that are incongruent with Western liberties. Therein lies… Read more »

We had the Great English Bill of Rights 1689:-

 Rights of Subjects:
Subjects have the right to petition the monarch without fear retribution.
Freedom of speech and debate in Parliament is protected.
Excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel or unusual punishments are prohibited.
Protestants may bear arms for self-defense, as allowed by law.

So what happened to it? Buried by an avalanche of legislation taking away our Rights to allow the State to do what it likes.

Mr Farage will use a press conference on Tuesday to publish his party’s plans for dealing with the Channel migrant crisis, should he become Prime Minister.

He will need more than just being PM – Sir Keir (he doesn’t deserve his father’s name) can hardly get anything done. Farage will need a sufficient majority in Parliament to face down the opposition from the Lords and lawfare and to force civil ‘servants’ to do what the new law says.

There do not have to be mass deportations. Just exclusions. If someone is excluded then they make their own way home or to wherever it is they want to be instead. After all, that’s how most of them got to the UK. We only need to deport those who won’t make their own arrangements (perhaps we might pay for a ticket) or are criminals (in addition to being in the country illegally) – that last to include working without employment rights. Come down hard on those who employ people without proper checking.

Detention centres. All ID’d by DNA as they are detained. If they abscond after being detained and before an asylum claim is considered then there’s no need to consider it. When they crop up in the criminal justice system again then their ID will establish what their status is: absconder plus whatever other crime. If they won’t make their own arrangements they’re going to get very bored in the detention centre. As I said, when they decide to go somewhere else we might even stump up for the ticket.

I am intrigued by the way Ascension Island pops up every now and then as part of the solution. It is a tiny island with a runway and a small base and not much else. they can just about manage to handle one plane load of delayed passengers for a night or two. Water is in very short supply and is rationed. What about the Falkland Islands !

Great idea, if the Falkland Islanders agree to it, because it would make far more sense to pay THEM instead of Rwanda, which is refusing to refund all the £millions British Taxpayers have already paid them for nothing.

What a pleasant thought: that the Falkland Islanders, like the Northern Irish long neglected by Britain, might profit tremendously from their vital new role as prison guards, protecting the world from at least part of The Muslim Army.

Yes, it is not a cazy idea. The Falklands are about 2/3 the size of Wales and 98% of the population live in Stanley which is on East Falklands. West Falklands (about the same size as East Falklands) has about 100 or so people living there. Weddell Island is off the west coast of West Falklands and is uninhabited.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weddell_Island

It is large and only accessible by air with a small plane or by a capable vessel. Privately owned by an entreprenerial type of guy, it seems an ideal location for the building of a processing centre. Pleasant enough in summer, but very unpleasant in winter and definitely no chance whatsoever of swimming your way to….where ? West Falklands ? Could someone let Mr Farage know ?

They are going to need a plan to remove asylum from people who have been granted it by Activist Judges in the Appeals process …. because Two-Tier and Cooper are going to push as many of these criminal migrants through the system as fast as they possibly can so they can claim to have “reduced the backlog” and closed the hotels.

Their asylum must be rescinded.

My problems with this subject is that 1) the next General Election is four years away, that is plenty of time for the Lefties and Liberals to destroy our country, sadly I believe, beyond repair and 2) even if elected, unless Reform have a huge majority the two parties mentioned along with the Greens will do their utmost to ensure they screw these proposed changes up.

The far left civil service has been mentioned as a block to carrying out government policy and so a new offence of failing to follow orders in public service needs to be introduced to deal with them.
