But do we really need the EU to have something like a 'human rights act' for UK citizens?
I've yet to hear what the opposite would be.
Heard Hilary Benn hint on C4 news the right to holiday pay is worth hanging on to the EU for.
Oh aye I am sure every worker in Britain would accept the removal of that one.
Anyways will follow arguments as they go, or rather when they actually start I suppose.



Considering what the tories have got planned I'd say it's a resounding yes to maintaining the Human Rights Act, it's the EU court that's basically where they can be held to account, unless it's a case of going to the UN.

As for Benn, as far as I'm aware we have the unions to thank for holiday pay etc, not the EU, although they may have prevented the stopping of that, I've no idea to be honest there.
