Better tell AIPAC this. Before you start blabbering about some other nonsense about Islam, which you have a 6th graders understanding of at best, here is a screenshot from their official website.

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.
Lord Carlile of Berriew, Lord Anderson of Ipswich, Sir Max Hill
Independent reviewers of terrorism legislation, 2001-18

If Muhammed Zia Yusuf and Sue-Ellen Cassiana "Suella" Braverman believe what they are saying they would leave as they don’t qualify to be English. Like Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, they have renamed themselves and are failed actors trying to convince everyone of something they know is a lie.

Trump announced the withdrawal of the last American forces from Iraq. Why? 1. Is it one of the conditions Iran wants met? 2. Iraq has destroyed most US military installations in Iraq? 3. Costs too much to maintain? One thing we can all be sure of, it’s another illegal war LOST, by the US.

This is so wrong, it's hard to know where to start. But how about here? Acid house was people 'misusing' an instrument and coming up with something new. Hip hop was people imaginatively subverting/repurposing existing recordings. Punk weaponised distortion and sloppiness as an existential statement.

Burnham edges Labour closer to finally, maybe, being sane about Brexit. Over 10 years, £Billions of cost, thousands of business failures, mountains of red tape, wasted resources and lost opportunities later…. our govt may, at last, cautiously, start to be honest about the Brexit moronathon. Yay.
The Independent front page headline: 

Burnham edges Labour closer to rejoining EU
After Ed Miliband tells party conference Britain's future is at the heart of Europe, ministers say it is 'not if but how' prime minister will include Brexit reversal in next election manifestoThere is growing optimism that a way back into the EU could be put to voters at the next election after the prime minister and senior ministers made it clear they believe Brexit has been a failure at this year's party conference.
When The Independent asked Mr Burnham about whether Rejoin would be in Labour's next election manifesto on his recent trip to the UN in New York, he refused to rule it out - having said a year ago when he was
Manchester mayor that he believes the
UK should rejoin the EU.

Andy Burnham has already warned about the 'drift and division' in the decade since Brexit (Getty)

Non - sequitur. You firstly defended Boris Johnson on his critique of small boats, you can see a direct correlation between Brexit enactment and small boat numbers rising due to leaving the EU and non returns. Now you have switched gears to saying people want to come inspite of Brexit.

When Trump leaves office, there will be no great reckoning. Because both politicians and media have colluded in the sanewashing, there'll be a conspiracy of silence. This period will just be something that people don't really want to talk about.

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

As I often say, when they tell you it isn’t about colour, is usually always is. The entire media spent yesterday rationalising the behaviour of locals, refusing to accept colour played a role in their outrage. However we only have to look at the public response to Ukranian refugees, to know….
