“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

The less the 'public' have control the better. Control is a dangerous word.

To all the people saying: "How can I find time to read to my kid when I have a high-powered full-time job?" I taught high school full time; marked A-level exam papers in my spare time; wrote a bestseller in 4 months and still found time to read to my kid every night. I did give up dusting, though.

The guilty men of the 21st century. Semafor: "Chevron said it plans to dramatically increase its oil drilling next year — its budget is set to jump more than 50% compared to 2025." Not just fiddling while Rome burns - they're rushing to pour more petrol on the fire.

I do find odd that we all apparently enjoy the right to enter a hotel uninvited, go to the guest floors, knock on the doors of complete strangers on the grounds that they are not white - and yet not commit any offence.

Any politician calling to leave the ECHR is lying about what that will achieve. It won’t solve any problem or improve our lives It will make us worse off and remove our rights. Just like Brexit. The ECHR belongs to us all. It’s not theirs to take. Please sign www.europeanmovement.co.uk/echr-petition

We should look at history from a different angle as it is always written by the winner. It is an interesting concept to wonder how the Anglo Saxons felt about the Conquest which created a massive change to their way of life. French became the dominant language, the legal system changed.

First we have the Farage-attention-seeking-fanfare press conference to allow him to announce some steaming horseshit policy. Then we have the ‘why it’s steaming horseshit’ aftermath. But it’s already too late. Much like the filth pumped into our rivers and seas, our politics is hideously polluted.

I agree with dementia but I don't agree with everyone getting free care. I am in my 80s We were a fortunate generation, could walk into any job, could buy a house, have foreign holidays, go out for meals, get superannuation pensions and now we want our grandchildren who are struggling to pay.

Those that can afford it should pay for their own care. Why should the younger generation be taxed to pay for care, there will be no money when they are old. It is downright selfish to expect someone else to pay for something that you can well afford.
