The UN Human Rights Council said the UK must "consider holding a referendum on the desirability or otherwise of a written constitution, preferably republican". The resulting report said Britain should have a referendum on the monarchy and the need for a written constitution with a bill of rights. The monarchy costs each adult in Britain around 62p a year but even groups representing taxpayers said there was no case for getting rid of it. The UN report was also critical of the UK's treatment of immigrants from Sudan. Syrian representatives accused the UK of discriminating against Muslims and Iran complained about the UK's record on tackling sexual discrimination.
Again, just an outsider here... honestly... when has the UK politically ever put ANYONE on an equal level as themselves... Sorry Syria, take a number. The line labeled "Countries Who's Feelings Have Been Hurt By England" is the one you need to be in...
