Anyone who's ever had to grapple with a problem caused by judges extruding new rights from the text of justiciable documents will appreciate the mess in the UK at the moment. This excellent Times piece by Earl Howe shows just one of the reasons why the UK government is taking such a perverse approach to civil liberties. We can't deport people suspected of terrorism thanks to a right invented by the European Court of Human Rights and attached to Article 3, from which there can be no derogation or suspension. So they're having to restrict Habeas Corpus, because they can suspend Article 5, where those rights are spelled out.
The European Convention on Human Rights and its bastard children have got to go.
