Would make the basis of a scary film if it wasn't true and our youngsters think they are hard done to because their exam grades have gone a bit awry.

Good luck telling them you’d not going to comply with the government out there. They’d drag you and your family out of your home into the street and shoot you all in the back of the head at point blank range. People in this country and other free nations don’t realise the freedom and liberty they enjoy on a daily basis.

Gordon R Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 The French eat horses, but no similar outrage. Much as I disagree with North Korea, it is their country and they can do as they please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Just now, Gordon R said: The French eat horses, but no similar outrage. Much as I disagree with North Korea, it is their country and they can do as they please. The key difference here is that the North Koreans are compelling people to give up their pets - and making ownership illegal - whereas the French eat horse meat bred for the purpose. I personally don't particularly want to eat horse - and wouldn't (knowingly) eat dog - but I accept that Korea (North and South) do eat dog. However I object strongly to being forced to surrender a 'pet' dog against your will - regardless of whether it is to be eaten or not.

grrclark Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Typical Daily Mail click bait story with the attedant pictures of people scoffing handfuls of unidentifiable meat. Given everything else that goes on in NK being forced to surrender one's pets is at the trivial end of the spectrum, despite the abhorence at the thought to us. When there is very little value placed on the human life of the citizens, people's pets wont even register.

Last time I checked the UK didn't operate like north Korea before 1997 when the was no HRA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason might be that before the Human Rights Act we had the European Convention of Human Rights 1953... We even have rights that stood in law going back to the British ‘Bill of Rights’ going back to the 1600’s, and before the rights of British people was deeply establish as far back as the Magna Carta. The Human Rights Act updates and modernises long held rights. Thinking that before the HRA there was nothing in place is a bit naive.

A do gooder picked up the terrier today and was in hot pursuit of the lurcher 🙈 they couldn't understand that while they were nearly a village over from home that was only 2stubble fields away and chasing a brain dead lurcher is a lost cause. They also didn't like when I said they'd have been better served kicking the dogs up the **** and telling them to go home rather than rallying round the quiet lanes looking for dogs that weren't lost. They shouldn't go off but currently they're sex mad floosies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware of what preceded the HRA and I would say the system governing criminal rights worked alot better before the HRA came along, as did alot of society, although I also accept as with everything in life there are pros and cons, especially with such a wide reaching piece of legislation. Which essentially squashes your argument that it's a good job we have it, or we'd be like North Korea. Clearly we wouldn't as the UK has lead the way on human rights long before Europe and Cherie Blair got involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I referred to us being lucky to have the human rights act as reference to our county’s record on good human rights. If we didn’t have the human rights act, we would have other legislation ... people who complain that we don’t torture certain criminals or abuse certain people’s human rights would just complain about the other legislation instead of the HRA.
