    Trump's saying the same.

    She had electoral mandate to do this twice, both as home secretary and PM, campaigned on it, promised it and didn't, so you are right. She won't.
    She knows we don't like it, but she does like it.

    The problem isn't the HRA itself - it in the interpretation by our ultra - liberal judiciary.....for example, 'the right to a married life', and refusing to deport a serial criminal from the UK because he is married . The UK wouldn't prevent the wife from following her criminal husband if she wished to...but meanwhile, that non-deported criminal is a danger to female members of the UK....and surely the prime responsibility of the authorities is the safety of the public....

    The problem is not the spirit of the Law itself, only the people we have charged with enforcing it.
    And they turned out to be malign.

    The problem with making such overly judgemental laws, is that you deliver the country into the hands of such people every time.
    It encourages corruption.
