The issue I have with this is that once you can veto HR laws for one reason there will be a tendency for the veto's to creep into other areas.
I, somewhat unexpectedly, find myself in total agreement with Mr. Clarke when he says:

| Ken Clarke wrote: "The term human rights, it gets misused. There is a tendency in this country for the words human rights to get thrown about as much as health and safety. Both of them get hopelessly misused." He added: "When some official, some policeman, whoever, has made some mistake in taking some absurd decision, the first thing they do to fend off criticism is to blame it on health and safety and blame it on human rights. The truth is that someone's made a pig's ear in the office." | |

The problem will be not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
