Oh well… in for a penny, in for a pound might as well go full rogue ahead of a lost election.
Shirley EU will do nothing in return.
As we know, people are fed up with the rule of law and just want government ministers to be able to deport anyone they want.
Lineker sounds like a foreign name, he should be first on the list and as for Starmer, no way is someone with a name like that entitled to be on English soil – send them both to Rwanda!
P.s. don’t worry about my wife’s shareholdings, that’s not important compared to Stop The Boats.
This isn’t particularly unusual. Compliance with ECHR judgments across Europe is low – everyone basically ignores the ECHR when it’s convenient, and there aren’t any consequences for ignoring it because it doesn’t really have any way of enforcing its rulings.
The UK actually complies with more ECHR judgements than most other European countries such as Germany, France and Norway.
‘Winning’ powers seems like an odd way to frame it when you’re being granted them by your own government. How about: **UK Government changes law to enable it to ignore rulings of International Human Rights Court**? And even that’s a fairly charitable reading.
Just give him a speedboat if he must get a prize, not the power to ignore human rights.
Just what we need to be doing, handing that lunatic Braverman more power and ways to be awful
This is outrageous. These types of injunctions are absolutely crucial to how the ECHR operates. If they were ignored, a country could execute someone while they’re waiting for their case against being executed to be heard at the ECtHR.
And more than that, ignoring them is likely a breach of the ECHR itself, as has been noted with Poland’s recent attempts to do so. That’ll be a further continuation by this awful government to undermine the rule of law, all while on damn life support while awaiting its inevitable demise in the next election.
I’d bet all the money in my pockets this is about establishing a means by which to withdraw from the ECHR and repeal the Human Rights Act before they’re given the boot.
All to just be a little bit more needlessly cruel, on top of the massive decline they’ve stewarded us through these last 13 years.
why are we just allowed to dump people onto other nations??? like was Rwanda even asked?
Boring boring boring dog whistle BS. This bill won’t ever be fully enacted and is destined to be challenged for decades to come. What amazes me is how everyone knows it won’t work…but they proceed anyway.
I’m not saying that there is a right answer here…alot of challenges all around…but most right wing or centrist/lefties that are concerned about aspects of uncontrolled immigration seem to actually agree on certain issues…access to services, housing and crime. If we stopped the boats tomorrow these would still be huge issues…so the answer, alongside managing the boats themselves, is to address housing…reform and invest in the police so they commit less crime than the people they want to catch…invest in our services. I strongly suspect that if we did that much of the furore about immigration would die down…but who wants to build a functioning society when we can blame them dirty foreigners coming here to take our jobs…
> In a letter to MPs following publication of the bill, Ms Braverman conceded there is a “more (than) 50% chance” the bill is incompatible with international law.
How do you even comment on that? Just openly admitting that they fully intend to go against international law. Why should any other country deal with a country whose government openly says that they do not care about honouring their obligations?
Isn’t ignoring the rulings of the International Human Rights Court gonna cause a bunch of issues with our international treaties?
7 years and still nobody in the UK government has read the Good Friday Agreement.
Return them back to their Countries, Its UK’s problem not Africa..
P. S.
Tis a real shame, we cant put him and the rest of the shower of shite Tories on a boat.
Send them to the EU as we all know how much they love the EU.
