Replacing it with a "British Bill of Rights", because as British people we prefer our basic human rights to be conditional and come with provisos and restrictions than simply being absolute.
For a reminder, here's our rights under the Human Rights Act:
The right to life
The right not to be tortured
The right not to be a slave
The right to a fair trial
The right NOT to be punished if you haven’t broken the law
The right to private family life
The right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion
The right to freedom of expression
The right to marry and start a family
The right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions
The right to education
The right to free elections
The right NOT to be given to death penalty
Another reason to be unhappy is that the Daily Mail is urging the government to scrap the HRA, so it must be worth fighting to keep :)
