And yet, still causing political issues which are not insignificant.
Only because the right wing politicians want it that way and their supporters absorb messages without thought.PurplePenguin said:

I will wait for him to tell me what the “something” is as he obviously knows me and my views…
Ok then. You keep your little secrets. I will wait for him to tell me what the “something” is as he obviously knows me and my views…

If it’s a secret then how can you know what it is?

Australia?
However, given that the ECHR doesn’t oversee human rights in all of the world’s countries and there are not widespread human rights abuses in many of those countries - the ECHR is not absolutely essential to maintain human rights QED.
The launch of Amnesty International Australia’s inaugural annual report, the Human Rights Barometer, reveals how Australians are confused about which rights are protected under law. More than half of Australians believe we already have a national Human Rights Act, and when told we’re the only Western liberal democracy without one, 76% said they would support its introduction.However, given that the ECHR doesn’t oversee human rights in all of the world’s countries and there are not widespread human rights abuses in many of those countries - the ECHR is not absolutely essential to maintain human rights QED.

Nothing wrong with a National Human rights act.

I suppose you might be right - you think so little of this country and its democratic process, that human rights protection need to be outsourced. I would like to think, as a country, we are better than that. You obviously don’t think any UK government ultimately can be trusted with human rights.

Do you believe the gun control laws should be changed in the US?
Or...should we just stick to old laws/agreements from different times?
Strange view from a progressive such as yourself...
Personally yes but that's a matter for them and I don't see it changing any time soon.Or...should we just stick to old laws/agreements from different times?

Likewise we've just put Farage and the Conservatives before the electorate and Farage got less than one percent of the seats available and the Conservatives got wiped out.
Doesn't exactly suggest there's a strong appetite for tearing up the ECHR does it.

No. I have taken a different position to you. Your opinion is just a different position to mine.
Your “pelters” are no more than farts in the wind to me
Your continued presence & customary retreat into coarseness suggest otherwise. I would still like you to square the circle of your blind faith in government to perpetually do the right thing & the legal fiction that Rwanda is a safe country.Your “pelters” are no more than farts in the wind to me
Arguably, the last government is Disneyland as compared to Farage, you will struggle to put together a reasoned argument I suspect, so I doubt you will try.
I think the last government was a st show - maybe Labour will be different but past performance unfortunately is an indicator of future performance - hopefully it will be different this time.
I don’t recall commenting personally on Rwanda etc
