When a Government Minister makes a speech that includes the line "The human rights act needs to go" and this is cheered by the crowd. You don't know if you're listening to a Conservative party conference or a Nuremberg Rally.
and she's still in her job? I hadn't actually watched that clip before - it's not so much the fact that she said it that shocks and chills me (jawdropping though it is), or even the vile cheers of the crowd.... it's that as far as I know no action been taken against her and what that says about the rest of them....
