Short version, lets hope Theresa May and Cameron grow a pair between them,and decide to act in the interests of the country,rather than listen to the Limpdems or the ECHR.

Is that the equivalent of TORY PORN?

David Mellor was interviewed on TV today and said some things which surprised me.He stated that the UK is not in any way legally obliged to adhere to the rulings of the ECHR, that its findings were only actually advisory in law,and this is why France an Italy have acted in complete defiance of its findings in the past.
He said that coalition ministers simply dont have the bottle to do this,so like to give the impression that they have no choice in the matter.
Tbh I dont know if this is correct or not,as I always had the impression that the rulings of the ECHR were binding within the EU.

A quick google seems to imply that is a total load of male cow manure.

All 47 countries who have signed up to the Council of Europe have ratified the protocol.

Note ECHR has absolutely NOTHING to do with the EU, in any way, shape or form ....

Yes I agree.  There's no point in signing up to legally binding treaties then continue to bitch about decisions made by the very institutions we sanction to adjudicate matters that fall under their purview.

It shouldn't have, but needless to say 'Brussels' has made moves to ensure 'it' has some influence within the ECHR decision making process - before matters are tried or, in the event of a less than obvious outcome, afterwards.  Protocol 14 affords this 'helpful' step forward.

Successive British governments have, by design or incompetence, signed away our national independence and the right we should have to decide on just who is welcome - or not- within the borders of this country.

Do not complain about Europe - direct those complaints to the sham politicians residing at Westminster who are, at most, merely street walkers for the pimps of 'Brussels’.
