| Quote | "The Human Rights Act is becoming the first refuge of the scoundrel. It is snatched at by illegal immigrants wishing to avoid repatriation, and by prisoners who want to receive pornography in their cells (on grounds of "freedom of expression"). It is invoked against stop-and-search powers, school uniform policies and "wanted" posters."
