  1. Out of curiosity is there any mechanism for modifying the rules of the ECHR and making less open to abuse by people who want to avoid being deported?

    Or is it is set in stone and the only options are accept entirely at face value or leave it.

  3. Getting rid of the ECHR isn’t going to stop illegal migration.

  4. Yes, let’s sign away all our human rights because someone somewhere is throwing a tantrum about asylum seekers. Pathetic.

  5. Only 2 countries have ever left the ECHR: Russia and Greece

    Russia was expelled, and Greece was due to a military takeover.

    Only 2 European countries aren’t members currently, Russia, and Belarus.

  6. TL/DR. It’s an opinion piece with a lot of misleading claims loosely based on facts. The article does not state how UK citizens giving up their human rights and workplace protections will assist in stopping illegal immigration or asylum seekers.

    Give up YOUR rights at YOUR peril people.

  7. Didn’t the Telegraph promise Brexit would fix this? And then a few years later the Boriswave hit

  8. They cloak this argument in terms of “immigration”, but removing us from the ECHR removes rights and protections from **everyone,** and that’s their goal – it makes it easier for the rich and corporate interests to exploit us as it eliminates an avenue of legal recourse.

  10. Illegal immigration is already illegal I think. Leaving ECHR won’t make it more or less illegal.

  12. Whenever someone says we should leave a human rights convention in immediately take them seriously. Not in the way they would hope though.

  13. Farage would do well to stop making pointless headlines, and start turning up and doing his *actual fucking job* in Clacton and Westminster.

  14. Is this the new brexit campaign? fixate on one emotive, populist issue (immigration) and hope your supporters won’t find out about the many many benefits that come with membership of this particular group? like, the right to a fair trial is literally protected under the ECHR. it’s that basic

  15. Denmark manages to deport its illegal migrants whilst still being full members of the ECHR and the EU. All that’s lacking are sufficient resources to process and remove these people quickly and humanely. We don’t need to give up any more of our individual rights having already lost our freedom of movement.

  16. No. It will throw out our rights as well. Without ECHR, the government can do what it likes to us.

    Yes, a few herberts game the system. But just because some people fiddle car insurance, doesn’t mean we all drive without it.

  17. The ECHR may not be perfect but I don’t trust a single MP to come up with a better version
    I’d rather stick with this one written in a time when there was more decency and compassion

  18. Something needs to be done against the large amount of illegal crossings.

    Illegal immigration walks hand in hand with modern day slavery and human trafficking.

    If you aren’t against illegal immigration, you also support that which comes with it

  19. Tbf you don’t need to leave the ECHR, you just need to give judges strict guidelines on how it is interpreted. There are many countries who deport illegal immigrants, while they’re still in the ECHR. Politically bent judges are incorrectly interpreting rulings so they can keep illegal migrants and criminals in the country. The whole thing about the right to a family life doesn’t actually mean a foreign rapist can stay in the country because he managed to marry someone who is a very poor judge of character.

    Most of these issues could be easily solved with a little bit of work and a pinch of gumption. The fact is, neither Labour nor the Conservatives want to solve the issue of migration.

  20. Here in Scandinavia, we are significantly reducing immigration both legal and illegal, from Africa and the Middle East. In Denmark, their goal is to accept zero people from those two regions the next 50 years.

    Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark are also cutting immigration from those 2 regions to a bare minimum. We simply can’t afford it, and the police and health care sectors are struggling massively.

    I’m not expert on the UK but it appears they have taken in alot of peeps aswell

  21. Denmark is in the ECHR and they have a sensible immigration policy. The problem is radical idiotic judges who interpret the laws in bizarre ways.

  22. Rather we keep our human rights and workers rights thanks

  24. When your policy proposal requires, in the Torygraph’s words, “breaking or leaving international law” that’s a huge red flag you have got something wrong. This suggestion is beyond stupid.

  25. The idiots in the comments must be bots because nobodied that stupid right, calling for the abolishment of their own Human Rights and voting for Reform…

    Genuinely made me feel ill reading those comments the UK is fucking doomed if people believe this shite.
