More details from petition creator
The British public have lost a great deal of faith in the Human Rights Act. Too many lawyers on behalf of too many minority groups with vested interests are successfully abusing the spirit/intent of the Act for pecuniary gain and/or the pursuit of their own totally selfish agendas. This trend must be reversed.
