Would that not require us to cancel our near seventy-year founder membership of the Council of Europe?
Yes, indeed, it would. As the ECHR has
NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE EU.
Nichts. Nada. Diddly squat.
As Home Secretary, Theresa May wanted to get us out of the ECHR so she could deport terrorists and have her own "British Bill of Rights". No-one took that seriously and she got nowhere.
Along comes the EU referendum and May is a Remainer. Let us remember that. She didn't want Brexit. But, interestingly, she kept quiet during the campaign and bided her time.
Brexit wins and she rushes into the leadership campaign, becoming the unelected leader of her party and the country.
She makes speeches about Brexit where she confounds and confuses the European Court of Justice with the European Court of Human Rights. She brings up the "British Bill of Rights" again.
Right after her bait-and-switch of trying to conflate the ECJ with the ECHR to suggest that leaving the EU means leaving the latter, though it absolutely doesn't, as it's no more a part of the EU than the Eurovision Song Contest is, she then insists that it's "unacceptable" for Parliament to debate and question her.
Yes, because MPs do know the difference between the ECJ and ECHR, so would very likely bring up her bullshit tactics during any such debate and vote down her attempts to sneak her long-standing agenda under the radar of "Brexit means Brexit", though Brexit does not mean leaving the ECHR, in fact.
Why was a Remainer so keen to take on implementing Brexit? Because, shit, if it's going to happen then it's going to happen and it's a great way to sneak her agenda of having an irrational hatred for the ECHR in there when no-one's noticing.
After all, it's got the "European" word in it, so she rightly reckons who amongst these fucking idiots who actually voted for Brexit - because they don't like Pakis and blacks, even though Pakistan and Africa / the Caribbean are not, of course, part of the EU and, thus, none of this will have a single iota of impact on immigration from the Commonwealth, which is where the non-white and Muslim folks are actually coming from, that none of them had any fucking sense to comprehend - is going to notice the subtle sophistication in her strategies?
This is why a Remainer has been so keen to rush to "hard Brexit" with delight. She's always wanted her "British Bill of Rights" - cast in her own image, by her Tory attitudes to human rights, so don't expect them to actually resemble anything humane or have any notion, indeed, of workers' rights within them, when Tories are the authors of it all - and this is how she finally pulls it off. The ultimate "kill the poor" agenda of wiping out every single right and protection and assistance the 99% ever had on their side.
The evil bitch.
