I was asking in good faith in response to the parent writing about the HRA "vastly improving protections".

From wikipedia:

"Many rights established under the Human Rights Act 1998 were already protected under UK law"[0]

Genuinely curious who we think has benefited most from the protections afforded by the act, and why they weren't protected beforehand?
