What a pathetic post The ECHR was intended to give Europe rights similar to those the British ALREADY enjoyed And let's explode this Churchill myth Churchill believed ECHR was good for Europe but he DID NOT want it to apply to Britain. Neither did Attlee Russia & Belarus are
@RafHM @drchrisnewton One would not expect the liberals to accept that level of honesty. After all they set their policies constituency by constituency without an overall national consensus. That way they can tell each voter what they want yo hear.
@RafHM Bullshit
@RafHM What’s an Ed Davey?
@RafHM Churchill did back the ECHR, British lawyers like David Maxwell Fyfe actually drafted it under his direction. The idea was to export British standards of liberty after fascism, not to exclude Britain from them. The UK signed in 1951 and accepted its jurisdiction in 1966 because
@RafHM Most of the Articles of ECHR are written into the HR act. All it's doing is binding us to the ECtHR. ECHR is not needed
@RafHM Both Canada and Australia are going through the same thing we're going through here: mass immigration from cultures wholly incompatible with Western culture. They, along with us, are also afflicted with a judicial system that demonstrates clear contempt for the natives.
@RafHM So now we have 2 Mad Eds, @Ed_Miliband on the Net Zero Madness and @EdwardJDavey on the @ECHR_CEDH . @RafHM has explained it clearly above, we will not turn into some backward nation, we are the ones who gave Europe the rights that we have had for centuries!
@RafHM An unnecessary extra layer of bureaucracy that costs us our sovereignty and has been abused by the legal profession for decades. We need out of the ECHR, we have our own laws that can be enforced with our interference from the ECHR and close the abuse loophole.
@RafHM I think people need to remember what country was the first to abolish slavery. We were not in the ECHR when we did that, and we had to persuade other countries to do similar. It's as if we would be some tyrannic despot were we not guided by these great bastions of freedom!
@RafHM Thank goodness for your intelligent and accurate analysis. Unlike the weak left wing celebs pontificating on a subject they know zilch about. @DeborahMeaden
@RafHM Keep dropping those truth bombs Rafe! Honestly, normal folk need an anchor right now. Everyone is on the edge, truth, facts un-politicised history provide a light back to normality. I commend you Sir.
@RafHM Well said👏 The worst thing we ever did was incorporate it into UK legislation. The ECHR was only used before the 1998 Act but not in the volumes that majorly impacted on day to day immigration operations. However, once introduced the Act led to an exponential increase in human
@RafHM Thank you, very informative. The last point about those institutions envisioned by the founding parties - this resonates with the UN's UDHR, which again, was envisioned to help other peoples obtain the inherent freedoms that a British citizen could enjoy. It was drafted in that
@RafHM Russia leff the ECHR fairly recently, because it was thrown out of the Council of Europe.
@RafHM @LibDems @EdwardJDavey You're deluded you do not know the History of the UK so how on Earth could you ever be trusted to run any Country never mind this one You have a total obsession with @Nigel_Farage all it is doing is making you look the 🤡 you are & losing you votes 🤣👍
@RafHM It’s the Lib Dems. Are you surprised 🤔
@RafHM The Glib Dims are almost as pathetic as Labour.
@RafHM America, Australia & Canada are not in ECHR
@RafHM Europeans Can't Have Rights. And it shows.
@RafHM It was to give others Rights not take away our own 😂
@RafHM Excellent analysis and summary, as always, thank you.
@RafHM This!
@RafHM This sums up what the ECHR was all about until it was meddled with by the traitors of their own countries. Oh, and Blair should be in a prison cell. https://x.com/Prosperity_Inst/...
@RafHM Read the fucking ECHR document and tell us which one of those rights are not ok. You have no clue, do you ? Also, quite a few of them WERE NOT already enjoyed. Can’t believe people can be so dumb to actually like the idea of losing rights.
@RafHM @cartonem26 Keep your fucking hands off my children's rights.
@RafHM The reality of the EHCR after it became law in 2000
@RafHM So that’s why we signed up to it in 1950 and ratified it in 1951 when Attlee and Churchill were very much around. You’re a joker.
@RafHM Why isn't Canada in Europe Rafe? Have you tried looking at a map? When a historian rewrites history to suit a political narrative they lose what little credibility they had as a 'historian'... And if you think simping for Reform/Tories means they won't deport you think again
@RafHM You are a verified imbecile
@RafHM Until a British bill of rights has been published and has general acceptance let's keep in the ECHR
@RafHM yeah and far right wants to diverge from that.. bit sus innit.
