The ECHR is not an infallible body of virtuous and objective judges!

On 7 March 2003, top politician, Jacob Rees-Mogg, said this at GB News:

"What’s being going on is illegal and dangerous. There is always a balance with human rights between the rights of individuals and the rights of the community. There is a difference in rights between British citizens and illegal immigrants, we reserve the right to deport illegal immigrants. The numbers arriving over the last few years have been unmanageable, whether legally – over 1 million visas were issued last year – or illegally, with almost 50,000 Channel crossings being recorded in 2022. The Home Secretary correctly pointed out, up to 100 million people could be eligible for asylum in Britain today.

We are a country with a proud tradition of tolerance, kindness, and, as stated, the rule of law. The current system plays into the hands of those - the criminal human traffickers that is – who abuse this. They take enormous sums of money from migrants to place them in incredible danger. It is an abuse that erodes that so precious concept of the rule of law, and is not only disadvantageous to Britain and to the British people, but also to those migrants who are most in need. We have a duty both to the British people and to those crossing to put a stop to this...

It is important to remember the ECHR is not an infallible body of virtuous and objective judges – IT IS A COUNCIL OF POLITICIALLY APPOINTED MEMBERS WITH THEIR OWN AGENDA! And like other European institutions, they continue to make a point of proving the necessity of their existence.

The government must be prepared to tackle the ECHR head on! If necessary, to legislate to ignore its rulings to advance Britain’s national interest. We already do this on other matters, including that of prisoners' voting rights.

The Channel Crossings, all illegal entries. must, and will, be stopped."

Fine words, Jacob.

But politicians have said such things before. And the alien hordes contnue to come, in their many millions.

As the wise man said: 'I'll believe it when I see it'...
