The issues in this debate appear to be as follows:

(1) Those who believe that Lord Keen's proposals are not inherently wicked and inhuman argue that one doesn't acquire an inalienable right to something merely because one has grown accustomed to it.

(2) Those who believe his proposals are wicked and inhuman argue that we should ignore and contemn all the experience and practice of other countries and simply ensure that "England to itself does rest but true".

I hope that's a fair summary.
