and been shocked that they don’t realise or care that the ECHR also protects *our* rights too?
I was amused to see some people switching from talking about JSO sentencing (very in favour of very harsh punishment) to when the rioters were being sentenced (why so harsh it was just fun and games).
I think in some cases they would think that it simply wouldnt be needed for them since the legal system will be always be in their favour (as the quote goes it stops both poor and rich men sleeping under a bridge) but then many others rant on about the two level system or whatever. I guess they just assume the ECHR doesnt cover them at the moment anyway?
Even more so when I explain to curious work colleagues that the ECHR has little to no bearing on military operations.
What about when special forces are sent into Europe to capture some vaccines? Oh, wait, that was just a Johnson fantasy to sell books. Carry on
