The UK should tell the UN "Human Rights" council to take a hike. What does the council which includes China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Cuba have any business telling the UK how to organize its government.

WTF? Did the council make the same recommendation for Saudi Arabia?

I am loathe to remind the U.N. that the British have the grandaddy of ALL bills of rights - Magna Carta.

Do they recommend hangings, or firing squad?

Are the Muslem folks loyal to the Crown?

If you listen carefully, you can hear a chorus of voices shouting, muttering, snarling a right proper: “Oh, f*ck off” from the British side of the pond.

Let the British people make their own decisions….The UN is way out of line telling a Sovereign nation what to do .

Nice to see the UN meddling in some other government for a change, instead of ours.

“Syrian representatives accused the UK of discriminating against Muslims and Iran complained about the UK’s record on tackling sexual discrimination. “

Wow. Just wow. The sheer magnitude of hypocrisy here is staggering. Seriously, we need to do away with that crap. All it is is a forum for these hypocrites to bash on the western world, and we pay for it. Good lord. What an absolute travesty.

What the heck business is it of theirs? Does the UN Charter no longer recognize the sovereignty of nations?

I don’t understand why Britain holds onto the Royal Twits, but the decision to get rid of them is no more my business than the UN’s. I really do wish we’d bolt from the UN and serve them with an eviction notice.

The UN Human Rights Council is about as useful and relevant as the Nobel Peace Prize committee. Only the intellectually challenged take it seriously. But as the Brits would say “ It’s good for a laugh”

Perhaps Britain should get rid of the UN.

The Monarchy has proved itself to be more durable, more useful, more mindful of human rights and infinitely more amusing than that crackerbox full of frauds over on Turtle Bay.

Give Turtle Bay back to the turtles!

This must be Scrappleface.

The U.N. Human Rights Commission is in denial about the abuses of human dignity by dictators around the World, while it recommends getting rid of the British monarchy. Yeah, that’s the ticket. This organization has become a parody of itself.
