You know the UK doesn't have a constitution in the same sense as the USA? During the recent undeclared civil war in the UK (Northern Ireland), there were many suspensions of civil rights.
- SEMW 13y agoMisleading. Substantive protection of rights in the UK is, overall, as strong or stronger as in the US (weaker in some areas, stronger in others). That the sources of those rights (centuries of common law tradition, ECHR & HRA rights, the EU, and more) aren't a convenient single document with the words "The Constitution" at the top doesn't mean they don't exist.
