From a series of events to accompany the Taking Liberties exhibition. Trevor Phillips, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, asks why human rights has such a bad press when it's such a good thing – and talks about the best way to make it work for a better Britain. Listen to find out how the Human Rights Act is misunderstood and misused, and how it can be made to work for all of us – and what the Jeremy Kyle show can teach us about it.
