when in this country prob the biggest human rights issue ever!!!! is on the agenda.
what about men and mens rights? living in this so called democracy!!!.
who is going to take any and i mean any notice of any uk law!!!.
when everyone in the uk has no rights even to see ones own child regardless whether he is wrong or not!!.
so the british public are fed up hearing human rights abuse issues in other countries, what a laugh!!! why cant we get this country sorted first then deal with others.
