"Theresa May
The UK Home Secretary has called for the Human Rights Act to be scrapped. Speaking as the Conservative Party conference got under way in Manchester last month, Ms May said : « I’d personally like to see the Human Rights Act go because I think we have had some problems with it. I see it, here in the Home Office, particularly, the sort of problems we have in being unable to deport people who perhaps are terrorist suspects. » Prime Minister David Cameron said he agreed with Mrs May that the act should be scrapped and replaced with a British Bill of Rights."
