The small acts that erode our human rights risk the slow loss of those rights if not defended. However small the infringement of our rights we must stand up to defend them for future generations or risk those rights lost.
Appears it’s time to throw the book at Eden District Council over breaches to multiple articles of the UK human rights act as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948.
Allowing minor infringement of these rights to pass unchallenged opens up the floodgates to allow much greater infringement of our most basic of Human Rights and the slow erosion of those rights.
It may appear a small matter that many would let pass by but when you look at the bigger implications of the risks to our human rights from government such as the right to peaceful protest under threat by government we must take a stand and not allow our voice to be silenced or our human rights that were forged as universal human rights out of the dark evil days of the Second World War.
I never imagined that I would have to be a #humanrights warrior against a district council in the United Kingdom but it appears the risk to our basic rights is under threat from even the lowest levels of government now in the UK.
