I don’t think I put it like that but feel free to quote my post where I did.

Do you or don't you?

Or are you just being pedantic?

M.

Just quote my post

I just have.

I don’t specifically call for the UK to leave the ECHR in that post but can see that you could interpret it like that.

Pedantic then.

Is there a big human rights issue in Australia at the moment?
Nothing wrong with a National Human rights act.

You can evaluate the report

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.

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.

I was pointing out that just because it's existing legislation that gives you 'rights', doesn't automatically mean it's a good thing.

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.

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 your own coarse and derogatory language doesn’t really give you the moral high ground.

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

Erm past performance? The last Labour government was actually processing the claims in an efficient manner go look at the data

And how many were turning up on the shores 14 years ago?

Which of the rights the EHCR gives me is a bad thing for me?

Tiny percentage which is compounding year on year

at the end of March 2024, the number of asylum cases awaiting an initial decision (86,460 cases, relating to 118,329 people) was more than one-third (35%) lower than at the end of March 2023

So not "compounding"?

If anything, I'd say it was "reducing".

Reducing for those particular year on year figures.

All this stuff is in the public domain

Yes, but we all know that unless Nige the Liar says it, then it's not considered 'fact'.

Rights are bad if they give protection to people that ‘we’ don’t like, obvs.

What are you going on about then?

You're asking a lot for an answer to that one.

He's dug himself so far in the hole defending Reform that he's actually forgotten why he started digging.

It makes me laugh when Reform supporters get all uppity about any criticism, and cite their "right to an opinion".

You're not being mocked for the opinion you hold.

You're being mocked because of the complete lack of critical thinking that has gone into forming that opinion.

Anyone is entitled to hold any opinion. If you can't back yours up appropriately, expect to be called out on it.

I find that blisteringly ironic coming from you Dave.

Who are these Reform supporters in the forum you speak of?

I assume there are very few.
