Aims
The campaign was set up by John and Laura Midgley in 2004. [The first mention in the national press was in a letter titled "Tory proposal to review effects of Human Rights Act" in "The Times", 26 August 2004, p. 25.] It increased its appeal by appearing in high-profile media programmes such as ITV's "This Morning". Since its creation, it has had the political support of MPs such as Philip Davies. [ [http://www.capc.co.uk/about_our_speakers.htm Speaker Panel] , CAPC] In 2005 John Midgley claimed that the Campaign had 5,000 supporters, including both those who had joined and those who had donated money or signed its petition. ["Answers to Correspondents", "Daily Mail", 26 September 2005, p. 54.]
