They are essentially the same thing aren't they. HRA enshrined the ECHR into British law. Previously you had to go to the ECJ to access it but now you can access it through the British courts.
No, the ECHR and the EU/ECJ are two entirley separate things.
Britain was also one of the countries which created the ECHR, after the 2nd World War, and long before the EU as created.
But today, those who dislike the Human Rights Act also tend to hate the EU, so they have an interest in treating the two as the same, and so can attack two birds with one stone!

Yes, but it's nothing to do with the European Union. It's interesting to see the way that the Daily Mail gets worked up about ECHR when much of it was drafted by a Tory MP (later home secretary) David Maxwell Fyffe with the strong support of Winston Churchill (and opposed by several members of the Labour cabinet). the UK became a full signatory during Churchill's premiership.

Well how many people from a Council Estate have been leaders of the Tory Party? How many people from a council estate have become prime minister despite not being able to win an election against someone as unpopular as Gordon Brown?
History and simple statistics thats how in the name of merry f*** that anyone with an ounce of sense know that!
Good point, very well made, sir.

I don't know but there are plenty of cabinet members and MPs who have been educated through the State system - William Haugue (former leader), Liam Fox, Sayeeda Warsi, Phillip Hammond....
Which ever way you try and dress it up, that was a snidey snobbish dig at those who happen to be born into priviledged backgrounds

I couldnt give a flying one to be honest. Background means nothing to me.
My challenge is to the general assumption that priviledged upbringing means you lack any kind of drive and determination. Some of the most driven people I've worked with are those that have grown up having exactly what they wanted when they wanted. Equally there are those that have come from nothing and worked their way to the top of their profession.

Conservatives believe in the unequal distribution of wealth, socialism is about the equal distribution of misery.
You really are picking this up quite well, aren't you?

I know he worked in PR for thames tv, not sure if that was before or after , but if we are being honest , both parties and cabinets are stuffed full of "professional politicians" who have never had a real job in their lives, they've all been " researchers" and suchlike.

No, its about everyone being equal. There's a book about that isn't there. Doesn't end so well.
