Human rights were a cooperative international response to the Holocaust, premised on a socialist axiom that every human life has equal worth Nationalism, Fascism and Conservatism are premised on inequality, a hierarchy of worth and Social Darwinism. Thats why the Right are so against EU membership and the ECHR: they see such safeguard rights as an obstacle to their neo-feudalist vision of how society should be Labour are and always have been democratic and inclusive, they won’t pander to the anti-immigration rhetoric and racism of the right. Quite properly so. Miliband is right to address the issue of exploitative employers, and promote the rights of all workers, that is what equality means. Human rights apply to everyone, including migrants, otherwise there’s no point in having them. Labour’s Equality Act and Human Rights Act apply to all, and not just disgruntled blue collar workers.
