So when is the movie V Gona become a reality?
Only two countries have ever left the European Convention of Human Rights (1953): Greece temporarily following a military coup in 1967 from 1969 till 1974 and ... Russia in 2022.
Great company to keep there, UK, and a Hold My Beer moment even after Brexit! >

Honestly if Labour STILL don't get in, in the next general election after having it handed to them on a silver platter we are beyond fucked lmao 
Tories could not care less about the average person.. we're being ran my millionaires and in Rishi Sunaks case, him and his wife aren't far of a billion. They've shown they don't care time and time again >

Mate, we will be run by millionaires regardless of who gets in. Every party leader is a millionaire. All these politicians are so far removed from daily life in the uk there's no chance of any of them acting in our best interests.
Edit: and even if they do somehow act decent, it's irrelevant because it needs approved by the Lords - the hereditary rich, the new rich and the religious heads. This false dichotomy of red v blue, when they're both center right, both led by millionaires, and both have to get approvals from the rich lords is stupid and just stops people pushing for actual change, because its the fault of the other party, not a broken system. >

Can anyone explain how significant that is for the citizens of the UK? What's the purpose behind this? >

It's most likely due to the massive increase in illegal immigration across the English channel. The ECHR makes it difficult to do much about it. >

I thought Brexit was supposed to solve it. /s >

It’s slow progress, but through the destruction of the economy, breaking apart of the NHS and the running down of public services whilst simultaneously ensuring that the cost of living becomes unbearable but that highest earners may get another tax break - the tories will have made the UK so unappealing that people stop wanting to come here.
Immigration problem solved. >

I dunno. The GOP in the US has been successfully making this a worse, and poorer, country for decades and we've still got a lot of immigration. >

Not a lot of alternatives for poor Latin Americans. If you're able to get to the UK there are probably a lot of better alternatives. >

Worth remembering what the convention actually is, and why this goes beyonds being able to ship (traffic) desperate souls to Rwanda.
The ECHR secures the following:
the right to life (Article 2)
freedom from torture (Article 3)
freedom from slavery (Article 4)
the right to liberty (Article 5)
the right to a fair trial (Article 6)
the right not to be punished for something that wasn’t against the law at the time (Article 7)
the right to respect for family and private life (Article 8)
freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Article 9)
freedom of expression (Article 10)
freedom of assembly (Article 11)
the right to marry and start a family (Article 12)
the right not to be discriminated against in respect of these rights (Article 14)
the right to protection of property (Protocol 1, Article 1)
the right to education (Protocol 1, Article 2)
the right to participate in free elections (Protocol 1, Article 3)
the abolition of the death penalty (Protocol 13) >

I’d imagine this was the goal all along >

Tories have just decided to steal everything they can and trash the country, because they know they are just going to lose the next General Election anyways.
But remember guys the moment they lose and a new government forms they will start screaming how all of this is the Labour's fault somehow. >

when is the next general election? >

No one really knows, but the latest possible date is sometime in January 2025.
Due to how the UK parliamentary system works, technically it can be called at any time by the Prime Minister. It's just currently they are roughly 20 - 25% behind in the polls and would probably end up on their worst result ever.
Parliament its self can attempt to trigger a "Vote of No Confidence", but the government have a majority of seats after the 2019 election. The Tory MPs who vote to take down the government and call an election will most likely lose their seats and jobs.
TL;DR - Its in the governments best interest to keep going until the last possible second, as currently they are predicted to lose anywhere between 300 - 250 seats out of the current 355 seats they hold. >

Do you vote every 6 years in the UK (2019-2025)? This seems like an unreasonably long government mandate :/ >

It's a maximum of 5, it's just the 2019 election was held in winter so it seems like it's a lot longer than it should be. There's also a small period where the parties transfer power, so the eventual "start date" isn't on the day of the election results.
The "mandate" to lead is a little blurry these days, since the 2019 election mandate was won by a PM who was replaced twice...
It's a bit fucked over here right now, I won't lie! >

I really wish telling lies and lies of ommission carried a severe punishment for MPs, MSPs 
I worry we'd have no one in government though. >

The insane thing is that you can't directly accuse an MP Of lying in parliament, because of a centuries old law that puts MPs above reproach. It's why Blackford had to leave Parliament after calling (rightly) Boris a liar >

Of course they will, bunch of cunts. >

Are they mental? Isn't the European convention on human rights quite an important thing for, well HUMAN RIGHTS? >

Listen Steve we are going back to feudalism I've had enough of these revolting bloody peasents thinking they have value.  Some torie probably. >

Reece Mog >

Well if people from the UK didn’t had any reason to leave before, they sure have one now >

"we prefer as a country human wrongs instead" >

Oh shit wait, they're doing this whole having the biggest strike ever...I'm sure it's just a coincidence >

Extremely common Tory L >

You’ve had first Brexit, how about second Brexit? >

What a surprise that the Tory party funded by Ruzzians is turning the UK into Ruzzia. >

Conservatives around the world just seem to want to pull up walls around their countries and live in isolation. Good luck going back to the dark ages then once they succeed >

Actually. It's going back to the dark ages for the rest of us while they steal all the wealth then fuck off to some sunny country and face no consequences or live in a little mansion away from everyone else >

about this/he is my MP has responded in the past.Whilst I don’t expect him to herald protect these vital human rights I do expect him to see past his party’s relentless power drive respect there are millions in the UK who support asylum seekers >

WOW - the Tories are no better than Far-Right in US - it's 'nationalism" and corporatism are all that matter.    Sell out of the citizens continues. >

The issue is with ECHR which has been widely criticized for being activistic and issuing rulings that are beyond their mandate. Don't shoot me, just saying they may be wrong but they didn't just suddenly decide to be evil. >

Sorry we don't do that here. Just post 'Tories bad' and enjoy the upvotes.
