Ah, the Daily Mail, it's a bit Godwin's that isn't it?
...
And ask yourself about this question "I'm aware of the daily mail examples where it's supposedly been used to prevent justice being done, but no-one ever makes news about successes." and what sells newspapers.
Very Godwin's considering that rag's vocal support for the Nazi party before WW2!
Agree completely about the second point too. So have there been any successes? Are there any cases which demonstrate that the HRA really has been used to positive effect?
At the moment I am agnostic. If it there are cases which show passing the HRA was a good thing (and probably need to outweigh/outnumber any cases where it has been a bad thing) then fine, I'm happy that it's in law. If there are not, then it was just a piece of pointless spin, in which case repealing it is probably a good thing. Perhaps it could even be replaced with a new act which is more effective? (I don't expect it would be though)
