    Today's headlines in the Daily Express!

    The "Give Us a Proper Brexit" crusade calls for leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), slashing red tape for businesses and enforcing a 12-mile exclusion zone around the UK for British vessels only.

    Brexit is a utopian revolutionary project, and like all URPs it can never be achieved! Juche Britannia! Consign Earth to the Dustbin of History! The People Struggle for Brexit! &c.

    Revolutions are *hungry*.

        @cstross I have pointed out before that the only clause in the Convention that has no wriggle room is the one outlawing torture, It would seem that the Daily Mail et. al. want to torture people They are sadists.

            @aadeacon @cstross the one plus side of pulling out of the ECHR is that it is probably the only way to give Nazis the death penalty instead of '30 years seems long enough.'

                Or a wall like in the book Invitro Lottery (about a global pandemic, a fascist government, and the phrase "Make Britain Great Again") written in <checks notes> 2014

                No, ReformLtd, it's not supposed to be an instruction manual.

                      What are they going to blame after leaving the ECHR? Are they going to scapegoat a minority and say that Brexit now requires "removing" that minority?

                      The ECHR is the only thing giving people in the UK any human rights. If the UK leaves it, then there would no longer be any human rights in Britain. All there would be are assorted laws that parliament would be totally free to revoke and replace with whatever they want, including 1930s-style stuff.

                      The lack of a written constitution or powerful second chamber in the UK combined with fascists leading the polls is putting Britain in an incredibly dangerous situation.

                        @cstross Minimum distance* from the UK to Ireland is 1.3km (about .85 miles) between Magilligan point and Greencastle, so are they proposing to annex Donegal as part of Brexit now?
                        Because Donegal is in the EU and the EU is less of a fan than you'd think of people annexing its territory.

                        *Minimum distance by sea, obviously. Minimum distance by land is zero.

                                @isaackuo NB: "withdraw from the ECHR" is a dog-whistle for "we want to reintroduce hanging and torture dissidents".

                                        @cstross Minimum distance* from the UK to Ireland is 1.3km (about .85 miles) between Magilligan point and Greencastle, so are they proposing to annex Donegal as part of Brexit now?
                                        Because Donegal is in the EU and the EU is less of a fan than you'd think of people annexing its territory.

                                        *Minimum distance by sea, obviously. Minimum distance by land is zero.

                                        @markdennehy @cstross you think these people give a suffering fig for Nordie Land?

                                        It didn't enter their calculations and machinations in 2016, it "robbed" them of their Glorious Sunlit Uplands in 2020, it is an irritation to them, nothing more.

                                          Today's headlines in the Daily Express!

                                          The "Give Us a Proper Brexit" crusade calls for leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), slashing red tape for businesses and enforcing a 12-mile exclusion zone around the UK for British vessels only.

                                          Brexit is a utopian revolutionary project, and like all URPs it can never be achieved! Juche Britannia! Consign Earth to the Dustbin of History! The People Struggle for Brexit! &c.
