God save the ...uh oh

The US decided to give up it's observer status on the UN Human Rights Council last week, to the chagrin of those who believe in international instutitions, no matter how stupid they are.

Well, today's UKTelegraph reports:

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 council has 29 members including Saudi Arabia, Cuba and Sri Lanka.It was the Sri Lankan envoy who raised concerns over the British monarchy.

And there's more:

The UN report was also critical of the UK's treatment of immigrants from Sudan. Syria accused the UK of discriminating against Muslims and Iran complained about the UK's record on tackling sexual discrimination

And, of course, the US is being investigated for "islamophobia"...

(the report is from a UAE paper, where Christian churches exist but don't have a cross for fear of attacks...)

Americans have a saying about this sort of thing: The Inmates are running the Asylum...
