A bill of rights would set out the rights and responsibilities of UK citizens.

We have a bill of rights, ignored by MPs, now freedoms replaced by rights?
What will be our responsibilities - keep feeding the state monster?

Labour are going to pay a very heavy price electorally one day for their continual denial of equality for the people of England inside the UK with the people of Scotland.

I'm sure the UKIP and especially the ED vote will be well up in the two upcoming bye-elections this month because of this.
