So how do you set up something to fail?

So, how do you set up something to fail? Particularly when it's about the erosion of British sovereignty by European courts? Well if you stuff it with EUrophiles and then bar it from considering whether Britain should withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, you can pretty much guarantee its failure or deadlock.

Mail.
A panel set up to challenge the erosion of British sovereignty by European courts was branded a ‘con’ last night.
It emerged that the commission investigating the creation of a British Bill of Rights would be barred from considering whether Britain should withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights.
Critics also claimed the commission was ‘dominated’ by Europhiles and human rights lawyers likely to be in favour of the supremacy of the European courts.
The supposedly independent commission was hurriedly set up by the Coalition in response to mounting public outrage at a European ruling ordering Britain to give prisoners the vote.
But Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke announced yesterday that the body will be barred from debating whether Britain should pull out of the European Convention of Human Rights – the basis for Labour’s controversial Human Rights Act.
It will instead have to ‘incorporate and build on all our obligations’ under the Convention.
The remit means that even if the commission eventually recommends a British Bill of Rights, it will have to embrace the principle that the European Convention on Human Rights should be enshrined in UK law.
Ah yes good old Ken Clarke traitor extraordinaire, the man who would sell us all down the EU river to his masters in Brussels telling a committee debating a British Bill of Rights that they will have to do it in the existing system and not tear up the current system, the one which has been over-riding our national sovereignty and caused the founding of the committee in the first place.
In other words the committee is a total waste of time and a mere charade, a sop to the public who were outraged over the prisoners votes fiasco, yet totally toothless and unable to change a thing.
Tories, same as Labour, same as Lib Dems, run by traitors for the EU, not the British people and certainly not for the English.
Can we just leave the EU? Now?

You should read Nadine Dorries' blog about the committee set up to look at abortion time limits. Virtually all were part of the "abortion industry", having interests in private abortion clinics and the like. No wonder they recommended "no change".
