A great day for British justice: Theresa May vows to take UK out of European Court of Human Rights

Britain is set to pull out of the discredited European Convention on Human Rights that has allowed dangerous criminals and hate preachers to remain in the UK.

It marks a triumph for The Mail on Sunday’s campaign against the ludicrous abuses of justice carried out in the name of human rights.

The historic move, to be announced soon by Home Secretary Theresa May, would mean foreign courts could no longer meddle in British justice.

The European Convention has led to such hugely controversial decisions as banning the deportation of radical cleric Abu Qatada and giving British prisoners the right to vote. …

Now the US needs to disband the UN, not just pull out of it. Abominations such as the International Criminal Court and Human Rights Council should never have allowed to come into existence in the first place.

If it does happen, credit goes to the UKIP for pushing them to the right.

BTW, technically that would produce a crisis, because membership in ECHR is mandatory for membership in the EU.

Thanks expat for the insight into the EU. Gives one an impression the EU may not be an actual EU.

This is a promise for after the next election. I wonder if it is worth more than fools gold?

I hope it is, and I hope they set in motion a way to deport all of the jihadists. Perhaps it would inspire some in our country.
