I'm not sure that the actions of a few shady members of your profession are a particularly valid reason for jettisoning the ECHR, GSM.

Which piece of the existing act do you think needs replacing, and which would you retain?

It has been used in questionable ways of late, with human rights lawyers having been proved to invent stories to enable clients to seek the benefit of the Act. I doubt Churchill would approve. I would be glad to see the back of it, replaced with something less open to abuse.

If they have their way they will withdraw the uk from an Act in which we were the the primary instigator and which was largely drawn up by our government working with other European nations. Churchill was the strongest exponent.

It has stood us in good stead for 70 years.

Are we willing to lose such protection for the sake of an ideological stance by a minority in parliament?
