Yesterday, I welcomed an apology from David Cameron on the topic of the repeal of Section 28.
Today, I abhor this from the same person:
The moment a burglar steps over your threshold, and invades your property, with all the threat that gives to you, your family and your livelihood, I think they leave their human rights outside.
Human rights are about balancing the rights of one person with those of another. Clearly, when a burglar enters someone else's house, they are breaking some of that person's human rights and should be punished accordingly.
But to say that someone leaves their human rights at the door is absurd. All you have to do is remind yourself that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has one article on the right to life (Article 3) and one on the right to a fair trial (Article 10) to see that.
