@marc_casanova80 @Salisbury17Jake @JonathanRo11063 @PolitlcsUK Leaving doesn't stop 'interference' because there isn't any—it just removes the independent backup that protects British citizens from government overreach.

[Patrick Lawlor @jplawlor]

@marc_casanova80 @Salisbury17Jake @JonathanRo11063 @PolitlcsUK Exactly. Two quick facts to add to this:
​The judges aren’t 'bureaucrats'—they are elected by an international assembly that the UK sits on.
​The ECHR doesn't dictate UK law. British courts have the final say, and Parliament remains sovereign.

@JonathanRo11063 @Salisbury17Jake @PolitlcsUK The ECHR doesn't give "gibs." It stops deportation only if someone faces proven torture. The moment rights become conditional based on who the govt likes, they become privileges. If they can strip them from a criminal today, they can strip them from you tomorrow. (4/4)

[Patrick Lawlor @jplawlor]

@JonathanRo11063 @Salisbury17Jake @PolitlcsUK The ECHR was actually co-drafted by British lawyers—led by Winston Churchill's team—to take British values and turn them into a modern, legally binding shield for ordinary people. It forces the state to play by the rules so parliament can't just strip your rights. (2/4)

[Patrick Lawlor @jplawlor]

@JonathanRo11063 @Salisbury17Jake @PolitlcsUK The idea that "the govt will kill you if it wants" is exactly why it exists. It’s a legal barrier. Without it, a rogue govt could wiretap you without a warrant, censor your speech, or hold you without trial, and you’d have zero legal recourse. It protects YOU. (3/4)

@KushBellkeic @PolitlcsUK @RestoreNetwork_ why give up our rights under ECHR? why give more power to corrupt governments?

[Patrick Lawlor @jplawlor]

@Salisbury17Jake @PolitlcsUK what about the rights you and I lose if we leave the ECHR? why do you want to give up your rights? imho, bizarre.
