The European Convention on Human Rights has nothing to do with the
Common Market or the EC.

It goes back to 1948. It is a civilising influence on our
politicians.

Rubbish it was a piece of tat cobbled together by British and American
Lawyers to try and stop Germany and its erstwhile collaborators such as the
French and Dutch from going down the same hole we?d only just dug them out
of. The whole concept of European proles having rights was at the time
anathema, no Anglo-Saxon common law tradition. Of course at the time when
we also signed up for it we simply thought that we were setting a good
example and there was no idea that we would soon be under the heal of those
we'd just liberated.
