Values for a Godless Age

by Francesca Klug, Helen Kennedy (Foreword)

The Human Rights Act represents a new beginning for the UK. For the first time rights which we have taken for granted are written down and enforceable against the government and all public bodies in our own courts. For the first time we have a higher law - a Bill of Rights - whose principles will influence all other law and policy. And for the first time we have a common set of ethical values to which everyone in this godless age can subscribe.

[David McGrogan · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is a book that manages to be both breathless and bland - an enthusiastic propaganda piece for the Human Rights Act 1998 that does not contain a single turn of phrase in its 200 or so pages. Only of minor historical interest.
