It is a nonsense that a foreign court can over rule laws defined by a democratically elected UK government. The function of the UK courts is to fairly implement the laws defined by an elected parliament.

@nathanaelsmith3553 I am aware of the part the UK played in setting up the court, but even Churchill would have been appalled at some of its rulings. If it's purpose was to stop the rise of fascism, or its left wing equivalent, it failed. The reason it failed is because only the law abiding obey the law. The safe guard is not in making it an international court, but in having the democratic oversight to stop any abuse. It is obvious that it lacks the power to really do anything to stop a rogue state doing what it likes, as is evident by all the various flavours of dictatorships around the world. Democracy is inherently unstable. Those that remain democracies, do so by virtue of the fact that they are metastable, oscillating between slightly left and right of centre. The ruling of this court, as it applies to the UK is likely to destabilise this equilibrium by the introduction of social pressures, and foreign cultures. The rise of the Nazis in Germany was due to such social pressures produced by the conditions that resulted from the end of ww1. Do you think the ECHR would have stopped the rise of the Nazis, it is not exactly stopping Putin now. As I said, only the law abiding obey the law. The ECHR has failed to recognise the word illigal when it is concatenated with migrant.

@nathanaelsmith3553 you really are an idiot. Yes I know that Russia is not part of Europe. That was not the point, the point is that only the law abiding subscribe to such organisations as the ECHR. Further its decisions have repeatedly been against the interests of its members. It is therefore not fit for purpose, as it is having the opposite effect to that intended. It's rulings are destabilising democracies. By the way I can't be bothered to read through your liberal nonsense, as you clearly do not understand that your views are having the exact opposite effect to that which you intend.

@daigakunobaku273 a court that fails to distinguish between legal and illigal migrants has no place trying to enforce the law in other areas. If we treated bank robbers the same way we treat illigal migrants, we would lock them up for a few months and then given them free access to the bank's safe.
