David Cameron: "I would condemn human rights abuses and the repression by governments against their people wherever they happen, Libya included, and all our minds at the moment are focused on that country and quite rightly so".
Dartford MP Gareth Johnson at Prime Minister’s Questions:"Does the Prime Minister agree with me that it would be wrong for convicted prisoners to be able to vote as suggested by the European Court of Human Rights and that the incarceration of convicted prisoners should mean there is a loss of rights for the individual and that includes the right to vote?"
David Cameron: "I completely agree… it makes me physically ill to contemplate giving the vote to prisoners. They should lose some rights including the right to vote".
So, David Cameron condemns human rights abuse when committed by others but thinks it is ok to abuse human rights himself. This kind of double standards is hypocritical in anybody. In a Prime Minister, it is totally unacceptable.
