    You are running a police state that monitors its citizens and arrests protesters. So yes, from a human rights perspective, dropping the ECHR is probably the last step required to become just like the ruskis.

    Why is Farage getting so much air time, thats a much more serious question, imo. Never hear from the libs, but every day farage this or that.

      Still waiting for 5 Live to give as much airtime to the Greens as they do to Frogface. Man only has to fart for them to dedicate an hour to his tripe.

        I must have missed out on the parallel military commanded by Lambeth Palace.

    “Sir Keir Starmer has made a forthright defence of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and said those calling for the country to leave it were “not serious” people.”

    First paragraph of the article.

    Hey Keith, is the Belarusian air force flying missions picking out targets in Gaza for Israel?

    Oh, they’re not? Fuck off.
