Žena varující před systémem podporující společnost slabomyslnou, pohodlnou a plně lhostejnou

Nejúčinnějším receptem pro společnost a radikální sebestřednou aroganci je naplnit člověka stereotypním a bezcharakterně motivujícími protiklady, jako světské pozlátko všeho, poskytující oporu a omezení v radikálním úpadku osobnosti. Slabá a rozdělená společnost, aro...

Dat de #hypotheekrenteaftrek nog bestaat, ok. Dat er plannen zijn om deze geleidelijk af te bouwen zijn er misschien niet publiekelijk. Het is wel duidelijk dat het moet gebeuren. Het maximale percentage dat vroeger aftrekbaar was is al verlaagd naar ruim 37% (2026).
30 jaar je #hypotheekrente als #aftrekpost opvoeren geeft niet een prikkel om de schuld af te lossen. Het is als #huren met toch de mogelijkheid je huis ondertussen aan te passen. Hoe het aflossen na 30 jaar gaat, geen idee. #HRA
Steeds meer hypotheken van 1 miljoen euro, en daar betaal jij aan mee

De nieuwe coalitie van D66, VVD en CDA wil niet tornen aan de hypotheekrenteaftrek. Tegelijkertijd is het aantal hypotheken van meer dan een miljoen euro in vijf jaar tijd verdubbeld. Aan die fiscale regeling betaalt iedere Nederlander mee. ‘Hoe rijker je bent, hoe meer je kunt profiteren.’

Yesilgöz in een 1 op 1 interview op radio1:
"De hypotheekrenteaftrek blijft overeind dus de mensen kunnen weer rustig slapen." Dat "weer rustig kunnen slapen" waar ken ik dat van... je zal maar een huis hebben bij Lelystad met #HRA, daar is het straks niet rustig meer. Oja, stel er komt weer een oorlog, nu wat dichterbij.
Verder maakte ze nogal wat taalfouten waar ik haar wel op wil corrigeren, maar dat is evident, toch Dylan?

Jammer, geen afbouw #hypotheekrenteaftrek. Gezien de verkiezingsprogramma's van #CDA en #D66 hoopte ik er wel op. Daar was bijvoorbeeld die #vrijheidsbijdrage ook mee te betalen geweest.

David Cameron’s speech

October 2014

In his speech to the Tory party conference today, the prime minister David Cameron pledged to get rid of the Human Rights Act #HRA and replace it with a British Bill of Rights.  Problem?  Where is it?  A bit like Lewis Carroll’s snark, it is often spoken of but never actually seen.  It has been talked about off and on for around 7 years now but it still hasn’t seen the light of day.

Second problem: how will it be any different to the HRA it will replace?  It will presumably contain many of the clauses about fair trials, no torture, knowing what one is accused of, no slavery, arbitrary arrest etc. etc. that are contained in the HRA.

It is likely that the ire is directed at some individual cases which get the tabloid press in a stew such as Abu Qatada.  The issue here of course was that he could not be deported because it was likely that either, he would be tortured or, evidence gained by torture would be used against him.

The problem is the same as it always has been with the act.  It is European and in the fevered atmosphere of anti-Europeanism stoked up by Ukip, anything from Europe is a bad thing.  The second problem is the media – or sections of it – who dislike the act and print all manner of misinformation and disinformation about its rulings.  They don’t like it because the question of privacy has a higher standing under the act than they would like.  As we have seen with News International – and are beginning to see with the Mirror Group newspapers – newspapers are sold by penetrating the private lives of the famous by a variety of dubious and illegal means.

The benefits of the act, such as that reported today of people in Essex who were able to use it to take action against the police, are seldom reported.

Unless we pull out of the Council of Europe, we will still be subject to the rulings of the European Court.  It is strange to report that with all the venom and anger directed against Strasbourg nearly 99% of cases applications against the UK are struck out.  That is because we have good legal systems here.  The HRA was brought in to stop the trail of people having to go to Europe to get justice.

Free speech doesn’t disappear because someone wakes up one morning and decides to ban it.

It erodes because systems slowly stop rewarding tolerance, Lets look at how we can possibly protect what we have.

Lets Rethink Free Speech: Why Electoral Systems Impact on it?

By this point in the series, one thing should be fairly clear. Free speech doesn’t disappear because someone wakes up one morning and decides to ban it. It erodes because systems slowly stop reward…
