Human rites: a quaint little ritual
Mr Cameron makes a ritual declaration about being ready to "rip up Human Rights Act" (Daily Telegraph, 13 May 2006), or he makes a ritual declaration about being ready to "scrap the Human Rights Act"(Telegraph, 22 August 2007), or perhaps he makes a ritual declaration about being ready to "rip up Human Rights Act" (Sun, 3 October 2011).
Then, absolutely nothing happens – until the next time. At that point, Mr Cameron makes a ritual declaration about being ready to "rip up Human Rights Act" or, on a good day, he might even promise to "scrap" it.
