Time and Bertie Wooster

Today's 60th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights has not gone unremarked (e.g. BBC Radio 4's Today).
What is remarkable is that the European Convention on Human Rights was used to enable foreign and Commonwealth men to occupy the UK through marriage. Once they have gained that "right" they then have the "right" to deprive native British men of work and promotion. This is because Britain's legislation on race relations applies to nationality. If that legislation does not deprive Englishmen, Scotsmen, etc. of work and promotion then an awful lot of time, money and legal effort has been expended for nothing.
Since "human rights" legislation was drawn up in the shadow of the Second World War the last thing it should do is enable people to occupy other people's country. Winston Churchill was a prime supporter of the Council of Europe (the home of the European Convention on Human Rights). It is inconceivable he would have supported its use to do just that, particularly regarding the country to which he devoted all his energies.
It is because circumstances change that the constraints of a written constitution have been avoided in Britain.
Think of America and guns.
Abraham Lincoln suspended habeus corpus. John Wilkes Booth referred to him as a tyrant for that reason.
A written constraint can be excused by the wisest words said by man:-
When Bertie Wooster was brought before the beak and asked why he had knocked off a policeman's helmet he replied: "It seemed a good idea at the time."
