The Fraud of Human Rights by Robert Stanmore

Here’s an interesting read in the light of Brexit. It explains at least some of the thinking of those who wanted out. It’s also an entertaining read because the author is so acerbic – actually, splenetic might be a better word – that you have to laugh at him sometimes, and groan the rest of the time. He apparently wrote the bulk of the book during the Tony Blair years. He probably couldn’t find a publisher who would take the book on back then!

However, Tross Publishing, a small New Zealand company that seems to specialise in non-PC titles, published the book last year. There wasn’t much of an attempt to update the content, but the author probably felt that nothing had changed under the newer administrations.

WARNING: Robert Stanmore is passionately anti Semitic. His most vitriolic attacks are reserved for politicians and other public figures with a Jewish identity regardless of the number of generations their families might have lived in Britain.

Despite these criticisms, the book does help us Antipodeans understand some of the reasoning behind Brexit.
