Britain 'opting out' of European Convention on Human Rights ?

[WATFORD zero]

From one of the 10 founding members (currently 47) to trying to get out of our obligations in just 60 years

Boris Johnson 'plans to opt out of human rights laws'

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-human-rights-act-uk-europe-convention-boris-johnson-b433013.html

I have to say that the pride I had in some of the things Britain achieved is dissolving daily

In amongst all the Boris bashing remember that Europe appear to be being as difficult as they can be over Brexit and are deserving of being slagged off too.

But this the ECHR, absolutely nothing to do with the EU or Brexit

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

There must be plenty of political forums out there for you

Surely you'd get a far better discussion on those

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I really think this Bullingdon Club jolly jape has run its course now

The plebs won't realise this though, and will think that Getting Brexit Done has allowed us to deport more brown people.

Because NSC only ever discusses football. There was a clue in the title and prefix if you weren't interested

Personally I don't open the cycling thread to tell everyone how 'uninterested' I am

ECHR - on topic please

 

[Weststander]

I can only see this news behind the pay walls of the Independent and Telegraph.

Without subjectivity and noise, please can someone explain the reason/s why we might be opting out?

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Intending to break international law AND opting out of human rights legislation. Quite a week for Johnson. Still, at least we haven’t got that jam making commie am I right?

Does this mean we can deport murderers, thieves and rapists, without danger of affecting their 'right to a family life'?

There's references to stopping asylum seekers and stopping prosecution of British soldiers (well they would, wouldn't they ?) but I don't think the reasons are clear yet. I suspect we won't find out until the Government put it before parliament.

But we all know how it's going to end

Unlike Le Tour de France

I think it's more to do with letting police batter protesters when they stand up against the government

As every day passes, I am increasingly happy that I recently managed to secure an Irish passport. Of course I'm still a Brit, but I think I'll try to keep that hidden. The UK is such an embarrassment at the moment.

Oh well - I suppose it's another nationalistic, jingoistic attempt to divert the masses from the everyday reality of life in Britain.

Cant have the plebs getting ideas now can we?

I swear, each day we are descending into the narrative of the graphic novel and film ‘V for Vendetta’.

Post a meme from Leave.EU or other right wing propaganda machine for added affect

Remember, this was a government that had to be shamed in to feeding children in poverty by a professional footballer. Maybe the plan is to abolish the Minimum Wage and simply to let these children starve once we have pulled out of the relevant chapters of the ECHR ?

I'd be surprised if they actually did that, given the contempt they have for the masses and for their very own laws.
