As with Farage and his turn the NHS into an insurance system, its an agenda driven by those billionaires who are pushing for deregulation and the stripping back of protections so that there are opportunities for more profitable exploitation of the populace. Tice is an idiot, listen to what he says for 5 mins and no sentient person believes he has anything useful to say.

Its only an issue in the eyes of a few right wing zealots, plus a few idiots in the Tory party who are still banging on about a "foreign" court not allowing the Uk government to break international law.

Otherwise, the only people who even think that leaving the ECHR, are those who frankly haven't a clue what it does, why it was constituted or how it provides protection for their human rights. The thing about international law, is that whilst as with any law or regulation, it might appear inconvenient, if a country starts to decide what is or isn't convenient legally, then that country is on a slippery slope to authoritarianism. Even with the ECHR, there are still areas where the UK and others slip beyond what is acceptable.

What incident may arise that would justify leaving the ECHR? Most people in this country aren't that stupid fortunately.
