Leaving the ECHR was not on the Brexit ballot 10 years ago.

David Cameron’s speech

October 2014

In his speech to the Tory party conference today, the prime minister David Cameron pledged to get rid of the Human Rights Act #HRA and replace it with a British Bill of Rights.  Problem?  Where is it?  A bit like Lewis Carroll’s snark, it is often spoken of but never actually seen.  It has been talked about off and on for around 7 years now but it still hasn’t seen the light of day.

Second problem: how will it be any different to the HRA it will replace?  It will presumably contain many of the clauses about fair trials, no torture, knowing what one is accused of, no slavery, arbitrary arrest etc. etc. that are contained in the HRA.

It is likely that the ire is directed at some individual cases which get the tabloid press in a stew such as Abu Qatada.  The issue here of course was that he could not be deported because it was likely that either, he would be tortured or, evidence gained by torture would be used against him.

The problem is the same as it always has been with the act.  It is European and in the fevered atmosphere of anti-Europeanism stoked up by Ukip, anything from Europe is a bad thing.  The second problem is the media – or sections of it – who dislike the act and print all manner of misinformation and disinformation about its rulings.  They don’t like it because the question of privacy has a higher standing under the act than they would like.  As we have seen with News International – and are beginning to see with the Mirror Group newspapers – newspapers are sold by penetrating the private lives of the famous by a variety of dubious and illegal means.

The benefits of the act, such as that reported today of people in Essex who were able to use it to take action against the police, are seldom reported.

Unless we pull out of the Council of Europe, we will still be subject to the rulings of the European Court.  It is strange to report that with all the venom and anger directed against Strasbourg nearly 99% of cases applications against the UK are struck out.  That is because we have good legal systems here.  The HRA was brought in to stop the trail of people having to go to Europe to get justice.

@bytebro

I just read a U.S.A. person in another timeline telling the world that 'all freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK' is being banned, because a porn company dislikes the restrictions on porn.

I really wanted to tell the po-faced idiot that the restrictions on porn match what we've had in newsagents and sex shops for decades; whereas the people who *actually* want our freedoms are the parties with the strong ties to the Trumpanzees, openly going after the #ECHR.

When speaking about getting rid of the #ECHR #SuellaBraverman, said, "I am calling time on Tory betrayal. I am calling time on Tory lies. I am calling time on a party that keeps making promises but has zero intention of keeping them."

I am calling time on your career, hun xx

Braverman bizarrely claims that British soldiers being brought to court because of perceived illegal acts during 'The Troubles' happened because of the #ECHR

"The ECHR is a system where the human rights of terrorists have become more important than your human rights. It's a system of law which has been weaponised by our enemies against our brave," she says to a crowd of ex-servicemen

Braverman is a lady who likes to put KC after her name

I have missed how mad she is 😅🤣😂

Jack Straw has written to Starmer saying the objection that the UK would be in the same club as Russia and Belarus if we left the #ECHR is "nonsensensical"

@Adrenochrome if it was my #decision there would be a #TotalEmbargo on both the #USA & #Russia, including an #ExportBan on any #data, rigorous enforcement of #GDPR & sharpening it to #BDSG standards as well as prosecution of #ICE members for their #CrimesAgainstHumanity, including #torture and #ForcedDisappearance, with a bounty on both #Putin and #Trump posted - to be paid in cash upon delivery to the #ECHR!

I notice a number of comparisons being made between the Palestine Action hunger strikers & Bobby Sands. What is overlooked in these, is that Bobby Sands was a convicted prisoner whereas the current hunger strikers have not been convicted of any crime but have been imprisoned since November 2024 for an *allegation* of criminal damage.
Why have they not been released on bail, and if there is some need to detain them why have they not had early trial dates set?

Free speech doesn’t disappear because someone wakes up one morning and decides to ban it.

It erodes because systems slowly stop rewarding tolerance, Lets look at how we can possibly protect what we have.

Protecting the European Convention on is a national duty. Speaking at Universitá Roma Tre, I outlined how states have to protect its integrity: ✅ Policy grounded in evidence ✅ Upholding non-refoulement & judicial independence ✅ Upholding the principles of equality and universality of rights.
