Don’t be daftOur once proud country is finished
So your fix-all is to get rid of the ECHR when all the main parts of it are in English law anyway? So getting rid of the ECHR won't make the blindest bit of difference as the laws will still be there. That's my point.Yes it would.
I’d actually go one step further and go as far to say that English common law traditions already guarantee all the human rights and liberties outlined in the ECHR.
If that’s the case, we don’t need the ECHR then.
It’s quite ironic seeing you two have no idea about our history. You’d think we didn’t have human rights before 1997.
How the fuck is he now getting interviewed on TV? I seriously don’t understand what is going on anymore
Haha I actually thought the same about I’m a Celebrity.He'll be on I'm a Celebrity in nxt few weeks & Strictly nxt year
It will because what the Human Rights Act did is a) enshrine the ECHR into UK law and b) accepts the rulings of the ECtHR*.So your fix-all is to get rid of the ECHR when all the main parts of it are in English law anyway?

It's the fact that it's got 'European' in the title that makes it this massive stumbling block for many.
International law would still apply though and due to the proximity to France there are no international waters to 'push' these boats back into. So France could just as easily record us forcing boats into their waters in contravention of international law, or just turn them straight back round again into our own waters.It will because what the Human Rights Act did is a) enshrine the ECHR into UK law and b) accepts the rulings of the ECtHR*.
The reason the UK Government experienced legal fare with the Rwanda scheme was because of this legal framework. Dismantling this framework and passing primary legislation to reassert parliamentary sovereignty is goal here.
Dominic Cummings is on record saying the Royal Navy would find it ‘operationally easy’ to turn boats around in the English Channel but doing so would contravene the ECHR. They could be wrong but you’d expect the Royal Navy to be subject matter experts on the logistics of that operation.
Anyway, we fundamentally disagree on whether or not this would work so there’s not much point in going round in circles. Suppose leaving the ECHR and implementing an Australian style ‘Operation Sovereign Borders’, would that be desirable outcome?
On the flip side, if this government found a way to keep the ECHR, stop the boats and deport foreign criminals… That would be a win-win. I’ve just lost confidence in the existing framework to deliver these goals and feel that successive governments would’ve found a way by now if it were possible (including EU countries).
* I’ve said ECJ in previous posts, please note this should actually read ECtHR and I’ve got my EU courts mixed up.
There is or seems to be a scheme to make them safe secure by giving them freedom's that frankly they shouldn't be afforded 1 you can't try before you buy.International law would still apply though and due to the proximity to France there are no international waters to 'push' these boats back into. So France could just as easily record us forcing boats into their waters in contravention of international law, or just turn them straight back round again into our own waters.
These are not solutions and just seem a very inefficient way to literally go round in circles.
Sure, I agree that things can't go on as they are but leaving the ECHR is going to be about as effective as leaving the EU was. The reality ends up being a bitch.
Australia would often tow boats back to Indonesian waters and this obviously caused diplomatic tensions. They’d also do things like provide life boats with a set route back to Indonesia. What you say would happen with the French did not occur with Australian and Indonesian authorities.International law would still apply though and due to the proximity to France there are no international waters to 'push' these boats back into.

You really are an idiot, almost as embarrassing as when you made a public announcement about leaving X. That was one of them most embarrassing things on here and nobody gave a flying fuckEDIT: Totally disgree with the "Farage wouldn't be in business" comment. That is bollocks. He has always stoked hatred and he always will. Since BREXIT there has been a groundswell in support from people he is targetting and making angry.
It really isn't, I survive every day without consequence as of yet, anyone who uses it for corporate reasons deserves what they get.You really are an idiot, almost as embarrassing as when you made a public announcement about leaving X.

I would argue your sycophantic slavering over Donald Trump and Nigel Farage is a lot more embarassing.You really are an idiot, almost as embarrassing as when you made a public announcement about leaving X. That was one of them most embarrassing things on here and nobody gave a flying fuck

Need someone to teach him a lesson if you ask me. Given my last profession, I think I should be the one to do it.You really are an idiot, almost as embarrassing as when you made a public announcement about leaving X.

I’ll lend you a textbook.Need someone to teach him a lesson if you ask me. Given my last profession, I think I should be the one to do it.
Couldn't you lend it to torch to shove down the back of his trousers?I’ll lend you a textbook.
Key Stage 1 History please, I need to start from the basics.I’ll lend you a textbook.
You announced to a football forum the reasons for leaving X you saddo, how embarrassing is that hahahaha. Also had a big fucking hissy fit about a slogan against illegal immigration. My family emigrated over here the right way as have many people that I know, nothing wrong with that at all and they do a lot of good for this country and are really good people! Why are you for illegal boat crossings and why do you name anybody that’s against them as a massive racist? I’m Genuinely curiousI would argue your sycophantic slavering over Donald Trump and Nigel Farage is a lot more embarassing.

Can’t answer the question, I’m so shocked. You are an idiotYou're an obsessed weirdo.
Fucking hell would take a lot to teach him anything, we only have decades not centuries! He thinks it’s offensive to not want people risking their lives in boats or people we know nothing about coming here. Has no answers when someone who’s family emigrated here and came the legal way asks him though, it’s comical.Need someone to teach him a lesson if you ask me.

I don't think anyone here's on team people trafficker, my friendFucking hell would take a lot to teach him anything, we only have decades not centuries!

Why does he call people who are against it racist then?I don't think anyone here's on team people trafficker, my friend
Well you have people who are team anti safe spaces for women so it wouldn't surprise meI don't think anyone here's on team people trafficker, my friend
Guns too?Ive got the answer to the boats issue, sharks. Big great white ones. Import a load in the conditions are perfect they will soon get a taste for it.

To pop the boats yes.Guns too?
Ah yes MR duffer, very oddWell you have people who are team anti safe spaces for women so it wouldn't surprise me
I’m sure that’s exactly what he said.Why does he call people who are against it racist then?
Come on stop playing stupid, he had a shit fit over that sticker with the slogan on it, what’s wrong with saying ‘stop the boats’ I’m genuinely intrigued to here why people don’t like it. Nobody wants people risking their lives and surely nobody wants people you know nothing about that could have done all kinds of things? @torchomatic just calls people every name under the sun because he’s a thick idiot that then can’t back up his point!I’m sure that’s exactly what he said.
If that is what’s been said, it’s probably because the language used seems to treat the people on the boats as bigger criminals than the traffickers.Come on stop playing stupid, he had a shit fit over that sticker with the slogan on it, what’s wrong with saying ‘stop the boats’ I’m genuinely intrigued to here why people don’t like it.

Legal immigration is great for this country but I don’t get why being against illegal makes you a ‘massive racist’
Not really I'm of a similar view.Ah yes MR duffer, very odd
