Raab Says Uk Bill Of Rights Will Stop Free Speech Being Whittled Away By Wokery Uk Bill Of Rights

Raab, the deputy prime minister and justice minister, said the plan would better protect the press in revealing crimes and said he feared that freedom of speech was “restricted” by “strict and political correctness”. Raab told the Daily Mail that plans for the Declaration of Rights would include only limited restrictions on the protection of freedom of speech with controls to stop people abusing it to promote terrorism. She said she would be given a “different status in the order of rights” with the main consequences expected to be in legal disputes. Raab told the Daily Mail: “We will continue to fight those who try to use either the media or freedom of speech to incite violence, radicalize terrorists or threaten children. All of these safeguards will be in place. “But we must be able to strengthen freedom of speech, the freedom that protects all our other freedoms, and stop being secretly restricted, sometimes without realizing it. “Therefore, it will have a different status in the order of rights and I think that will help a lot in protecting the freedom of speech of this country and our history, which has always strongly defended freedom of speech.” The proposals, which are currently under consultation, are expected to be included in the Queen’s speech later this year. The Human Rights Act (HRA) was introduced in 1998 to enable UK nationals to rely on the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights before national courts. Raab added: “Essentially, freedom of speech will be given something that is tantamount to a trump card in a whole range of areas. “I feel very strongly that the parameters of freedom of speech and democratic debate are being restricted, either because of the issue of privacy or because of concern and political correctness. “I am concerned that these parameters of freedom of speech may be limited.” In December, the government announced a consultation to review the human rights law. He estimated that up to 70 percent of successful human rights challenges are caused by foreign offenders who invoke the right to family life when they apply for deportation orders. The government said at the time that “the plans will give the Supreme Court more capacity to interpret human rights law in a UK context”.
