  shade england not very good? studying for o lvl or what? anyway it means that in general it is not appropraite for any deprivation of private rights if the act of doing such will not result in a defninite gain to the general public.
  
  lets hope i didn't make it more messy lol
  
  as an example lets say that the recent sedation act charges, assuming it is not definite or very likely that the action to sue the person wil result in benefits to the gernal public( disclaimer: just an example not indicating my personal views), then the action of depriving the freedom of speech by the pressing of charges is not appropriate in the person's view

  Original:
  It is not generally appropriate that specific private rights should be denied in order to give rise to indefinite advantages to the general public.
  
  Simplified:
  It is not proper, that certain rights are denied just to make uncertain advantages, available to the general public.
  
  Meaning: BULL-SHITTING! aka BLUFFING or WAYANG.

  I think the key words are: SPECIFIC RIGHTS and INDEFINITE advantages.
  
  SPECIFIC RIGHTS, are known and accustomed to or generally accepted and agreeable. While, INDEFINITE advantages are either ill-defnied, not defined, or has yet to be seen.

  It just tells you that they have the power and the knowledge to decide who to give and who not to give rights , because you are not clever to read their ambiguity.
