European Convention on Human Rights. 07:11 - Nov 17 with 783 views | Mercian | There are calls for the UK to leave, we would be in good company. The only two European countries outside of this treaty apart from kazakhstan that has a tiny part of it's territory in Europe are the bastions of freedom and rights that are Russia and Belarus.

Brings to mind Tom Hunt's utterings following the not guilty verdict on the 'Colston Four': "I and colleagues will be discussing with ministers and way to ensure this sort of verdict never happens again" and "If the jury is a barrier to ensuring they are punished then that needs to be addressed". | |
