"The [European] Convention [on Human Rights] was drafted [...] in the aftermath of the horror of the Second World War, but over 70 years ago. And it's now clearly been overtaken by events"
— Conservative and Unionist Party MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, House of Commons, 2024-05-14
Your Member of Parliament yesterday represented you by stating that the #ECHR, guaranteeing freedom from slavery and torture, the rights to life and fair trials, so horrifically violated during WW2 and fought for by many, are now out of date and should be renegotiated by the United Kingdom in favour of more limited #HumanRights.
Is this your view?
Are you willing to espouse this view aloud in, say, Wickford Memorial Park?
Robert Jenrick, who has got his Adolph underpants on, says to #BBCLauraK, "I do support pulling out of the European Court of Human Rights."
Chakrabarti reminds him that the #ECHR has protected British people from abuses by its own government, and there are currently interim measures in relation to Putin's Russia preventing Ukranian prisoners of war from being executed
[She doesn't say because she is interrupted by Jenrick, that it was the UK that first evoked these measures.]
