    Nigel Farage, Reform 2025 LTD, the Conservative Party, that seems to be defecting to Reform 2025 LTD en masse, all want the UK to leave the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights).

    Why?

    They are trying to tell everyone it’s to help stop asylum seekers and refugees getting help from it and to stop it overriding UK courts.

    Some facts none of them want you to know:

    The ECHR was created in 1950 after the Second World War to protect fundamental rights and freedoms across Europe.

    Since 1980 the ECHR has heard only 29 immigration deportation cases and of which the UK won 16 of them. In comparison in 2024 8,164 asylum seekers were deported after they lost their claims.

    Leaving the ECHR would have no bearing on immigration, refugees or asylum seekers in the UK so why are these people so keen for the UK to leave?

    Let’s look at what rights are covered under the ECHR:
    The right to life. Freedom from torture, slavery, discrimination and the right to a fair trial. Along with freedoms such as expression, assembly, religion and respect for private and family life.

    So why would they want us to leave?

    Because leaving would put everyone’s rights at risk, the ECHR is there to hold the state to account when it has abused citizens rights

    We have already seen many cases where the right to peaceful protest is being clamped down on.

    More critically and probably the main reason they want us to leave the ECHR also helps protect workers rights, such as the right to join a union that is currently protected under the right to freedom of association and such things as the right to strike.

    Considering Farage and all of Reforn 2025 LTD voted AGAINST new laws strengthening workers rights then it’s not surprising they also want to get rid of the ECHR!

    They are on the side of corporations and are looking to open up ways that YOU can be exploited by those very corporations. They tell you it’s about immigrants when in all reality it’s about making billionaires richer.

    Look at who’s paying the piper, 75% of Reform 2025 LTD donations have come from just 3 wealthy men! The Conservatives biggest donors are from unincorporated associations meaning none are transparent.

    They are telling you what you want to hear while doing what they want for their paymasters.

    Wake up!
