EXCL: 'We’re being taken for mugs'.

Kemi Badenoch says our ITV investigation into dangerous fugitives being allowed to stay in UK is swaying her towards leaving the ECHR.

Others argue for reform of ECHR - Justice Secretary will make a speech today.

Same playbook as fooled idiots into thinking we'd be better off outside the EU.

Media actively complicit in the charade.

shelleybwoke.bsky.social•1 day ago

How does it feel starting a moral panic about things that aren't based in reality? Your parents must be so proud.

helenm40.bsky.social•1 day ago

Kemi Badenoch wants to leave the ECHR because she's a right wing religious Conservative and is too thick to spot that she'd lose out by losing human rights.

It's got literally nothing to do with you.

cdtplug.bsky.social•9 hours ago

She is a fucking idiot.

montypelican.bsky.social•1 day ago

So your work is encouraging a politician to argue to remove my human rights.

joemcateer.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's his job to report what the Leader of the Opposition says.

stevewmobb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is he her publicist?

joemcateer.bsky.social•1 day ago

No, he's a mainstream journalist reporting what the Opposition Leader is saying. Are you suggesting journalists should only report ideas they agree with?

stevewmobb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not at all. But his report set the agenda of 'should we give up human rights so we can deport someone ' and then asks a politician who agrees. For once there wasn't balance saying 'actually these are our rights too'.

joemcateer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fair enough. I hadn't read the full article, only his message on Bluesky.

fanofpartridge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good point. Journalists should not be allowed to report what anyone of any or no significance has said or done, or what, if anything, has happened, wherever and whenever that might be, or might have been. Simple.

montypelican.bsky.social•1 day ago

They shouldn’t insert themselves into the story. Even to brag.

Especially to brag.

stevewmobb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well they certainly don't do that for greens, lib Dems, or any party except Tory and reform. It's the bias that is the issue.

anna-marie.bsky.social•1 day ago

Rather than just promoting this narrative, he should report on the implications this kind of talk about removing our rights has for all of us. That would be good journalism.

sloanelysbeth.bsky.social•1 day ago

she’s responding to his propaganda.

"Look at this criminal he lied to judges"

"Better leave the ECHR then, nothing else to be done"

🤡

purpleelectric.bsky.social•1 day ago

If that is right, he has committed perjury, which would usually result in a prison sentence measures in years. So we are not exactly helpless here. Not to mention being able to overturn the original court decision and try again.

entwistlerex.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah well done Paul nice one 🙄🤡

daviduknorthwest.bsky.social•1 day ago

Badenoch seems unaware of her electorate’s interests. While the European Court of Human Rights may not be their top priority, they are more concerned about improving their cost of living and feeling like things are actually getting better.

Be very careful what you wish for …

See recent ICE arrests of politicians in the USA 🇺🇸 for example …

Is there a reason why these people can't be tried in the UK?

purpleelectric.bsky.social•1 day ago

Generally we can’t try people for offences outside our borders. There are exceptions, eg for child sex tourism. So the answer to your question is that it can’t happen under our law as it currently stands, but there is nothing preventing us from changing the law so that we can.

drpaulitious.bsky.social•1 day ago

Could you please stop encouraging her? Those are my rights and yours she wants to stop protecting.

foolofham.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nobody wants what’s happening to still happen, but you can just tell labour are going to lose the argument via their terrible comms and they’ll end up taking us out of the ECHR in panic.

csav55.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is this debate by the Tories and Farage another just asking questions scenario, that didn't end well last year did it. Shame on the media for giving house room to anyone suggesting we leave the ECHR.

stevewmobb.bsky.social•1 day ago

I saw your report on GMB. I was very disappointed you're pushing the narrative of "here are some really bad people who shouldn't be here. Should we scrap current human rights laws to get rid of them "

You should follow up by asking your viewers which human right they'd most like to lose.

irishdreamer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Susanna Reid looked like she was going to orgasm live on air as she fantasised about “Forrins” losing the human rights.

Like a typical gammon she thinks she’ll be excepted from this.

helenm40.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah. Reid's going to be incredibly shocked when she realises they are her human rights too...

stevewmobb.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's the thing. Everyone thinks it's someone else who'll suffer the consequences.

You'd at least have thought Richard madeley would appreciate the right to a fair trial.

irishdreamer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Madeley is the kind of cunt who’d have been a camp guard in WW2. He’d relish the opportunity to make minorities suffer.

purpleelectric.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do you want the state to be able to kill you, torture you, or arbitrarily imprison you? Yes or no? It’s a toughie.

pj-galley.bsky.social•1 day ago

Funny how her mouth was so firmly clamped shut whilst in government. A horrible, hypocritical woman motivated by self interest.

amias.net•1 day ago

Please stop reporting what she says , it's always irrelevant horseshit and it makes her worse.

Really poor, dangerous reporting.

claphamwanderers.bsky.social•1 day ago

It has become the new Brexit - something for the hard of thinking to cling to

anna-marie.bsky.social•1 day ago

So you are promoting the opinions of those who want to take away, or water down, OUR rights and protections.
You do realise these are YOUR rights and protections too that YOU will be losing. Are you sure you want to take that route?
Only one being taken for a mug that I can see is you.

mimij9.bsky.social•9 hours ago

You’ve stirred up such a hornets nest, that didn’t need to be stirred. You know the value of the ECHR?

Doing Farage’s work for him.
No one cared about it, until you started picking up the controversial cases?

Our media is not fit for purpose.

collaterly.bsky.social•1 day ago

you’re all lying pieces of shit

angels4peace.bsky.social•1 day ago

The Right do not want us to have Human Rights and Equality.
Who knew?

bettyjane.bsky.social•1 day ago

But doesn't the #ECHR protect our rights too? What do you think will happen if we're stripped of our Human Rights? What do you think will happen to journalists? Aren't you playing with fire in the name of sensationalism? Why don't any of you EVER explain what rights the #ECHR covers for the British?

mothercourage.bsky.social•1 day ago

Describing Brazilian prisons as merely 'overcrowded'... You should be ashamed.

trollbot6900.bsky.social•1 day ago

Excellent reporting 🏆
