Neill backs Cameron on Human Rights Act

Bob Neill has today backed David Cameron over his pledge to abolish the Human Rights Act. Cameron, who recently visited the area to campaign ahead of the by-election on the 29th June, today said that the Human Rights Act needed replacing as it has hampered the fight against crime and caused extra difficulties in the vital fight against terrorism.

Bob Neill said: "Crime is the number one concern for many people in this area and it has been the most common issue brought up in my mailbag during the time I've represented Bromley on the London Assembly.

"Having more police in the area is the first step in the fight against crime but it needs to go beyond that. Due to Tony Blair's human rights legislation, at the moment the whole system is balanced in favour of the criminal at the expense of ordinary law-abiding people.

"I'm delighted that David Cameron is addressing this whole issue in a way that the other parties have refused to. He has demonstrated today that he is the only leader that is prepared to take the action that is needed to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour."
