I'm increasingly of the view that we'll need to see mass deaths (millions) before the brainwashed are willing to accept vaccines work and any slight risk they pose is far better than the alternative. We've become decadent and spoiled. Vaccine "hesitancy" is a luxury afforded by decades of vaccines.

@johnswinney.bsky.social The first minister said in the run up to the election that his priority would be child poverty. Today we see the failure in that quest. A few years ago he said cancer patients would be seen in 12 weeks. A few of weeks ago he said they would be seen in 26 weeks. All failures

This intensely stupid right wing idea is an extension of Brexit ignorance and prejudice. It represents the failure of our politics and our media to act in our best interests and to inform voters properly. Brexit is more than enough idiocy. Leaving the ECHR shouldn’t even be on the radar.

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

The smaller a country is, the greater risk there is of a hostile takeover at some point by known and unknown enemies. The smaller a country is, the harder it'd be for it to say join the EU and fulfil all the criteria.
