Hitchens being right



An excellent speech from Peter Hitchens to the Cambridge Union on the subject of human rights and why the concept is corrosive to our liberties. It is marred by poor sound, and the obligatory wankers who seem to attend such debates only to cough their foul germs upon the rest of the audience. My only bone of contention is around the reference to Jeremy Bentham, the citation referring to natural rights, rather than human rights.
