DR HARRIS: High Court's ruling may force us to break ECHR chokehold

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Yesterday, the justices applied the law as they interpreted it.
45% : Former government adviser and loose cannon Dominic Cummings tweeted yesterday: 'End the Paedos and Terrorists Defence Act (aka the European Convention on Human Rights/ Human Rights Act).' Their powers are not mandatory around the world That is highly provocative, but if we dial down such robust rhetoric, we can still make very strong criticisms.
41% : The problem was that the law comes from Strasbourg, not London.
36% : The ECHR states that if there are substantial grounds to believe that there is a real risk deportees may face mistreatment, then that policy is against the law.
