No, the ECHR isn't the EU. No, it's not a "criminal's charter." No, it's not optional. Yes, I skipped out on Below Deck Down Under to write an explainer. (Also, it’s probably too long)

So you suggest that I can't trust Robert Jenrick or Nigel Farage to do the right thing? 😀

First it was Brexit that'll "take back control" now it's ECHR. When that's also proven to be a nonsense, I wonder what will come next?

The ECHR is also written into the Security section of the Brexit TCA. If we broke that by leaving, we could whistle for any help from the French to “stop the boats” and hugely weaken our own security. To break not just 1 but 2 treaties, one international, would make UK pariahs & untrustworthy.

I loved Phillippe Sands schooling Malcom Rifkind, the latest ex-minister to suggest dis-applying/resiling from the ECHR this am on R4 Today. PS asked, ‘name one decision you disagree with’ and as per the EU rules playbook, Rifkind couldn’t. 🤦🏼♀️ Buckle up for another “all feels/no facts” campaign.🤬

The fact that this needs explanation testifies to the stupidity of those who don't get it. It's not hard. It starts with a capital 'E' so the morons have a breakdown. It's that bad.
