Vanlife, heavy metal and all things weird and wonderful enthusiast. Enjoy life as much as I can within limits of my own body. Optimistic pragmatist. Sorry, please and thank you cost nothing. Your “weird” is my “unique”
Just out of interest, am I in the “minority” in not wanting the removal of the ECHR?
I don’t trust this govt to make their own bill in the best interests of the public
If I’m wrong fair enough
But please understand what the ECHR is before weighing in 👍
Please pay attention to Patrick Stewart…. This does a nice job eg explaining exactly what the ECHR is and why we really don’t want to throw it away for the sake of a plane which may never take off

@EmergMedDr
There is no such thing as a private A&E so if you have an accident, heart attack, need emergency care for any reason, please do mention your dislike of those Drs who will be working their backsides off to save your life. I’m sure they will appreciate it
Yea because that’s exactly why people start food banks
I mean why would common decency and humanity come into it when you can do something for self serving reasons - perhaps projecting a little here?

Can someone please clarify for me, which specific one of these statements of the ECHR is having such a detrimental effect on people’s lives?
I keep hearing we should leave but I’m not sure which one of these is causing so much concern

When I wrote my dissertation on Scientific Racism and Eugenics and about how is was trickled into German society via the use of propaganda to slowly “chip away” at the rights of others I never thought I would see a repeat in my own lifetime. Or any other.

@EmergMedDr
If you have an absolute emergency - an ambulance isn’t going to take you to a private hospital is it?
Say, for eg, you’re run over or having a cardiac arrest - you’re still going to an NHS A&E. there is no way to “buy” yourself a diffident option
@i_iratus
Just a thought. It wasn’t played at my graduation. Or my partners. That was 20 years ago. Clearly another attempt to stir up division on a non issue.
@RachelCurtis82
I’ve been trying to raise this for a while

It’s actions like these that are being quietly shuttled past people while the gov is shouting “Bloody immigrants! Stop the boats!”

I’ve had a chat with my female friend folk and we don’t want that kind of “protection/rights”
We’ve never had an issue with any trans person and we don’t agree with this being done in our “name”

Put the phone in speakerphone if you can and have someone with you

Well that added some clarity
Thanks all!
I thought I was destined for RW nut jobs only but it appears decent, reasonable, intelligent and humane people do exist and it’s quite warm and fuzzy

Utter madness!
No wonder she has blue voters’ knickers in a twist they can’t even imagine the combination of empathy and public service

If you would like to debate topics in a reasoned way then I am all for it, I’m a reasonable woman

ECHR is not a court. It’s a convention
It’s a convention as per below
International courts will intervene on these issues but the govt wants to remove the ECHR
Which one are people willing to have removed from their rights?
@i_iratus
how can we try and stop this from happening? Surely the govt can’t tell people what they can spend money on? Are they going to stop them if it’s not just bread and water?!? Also stopping family from helping?
Tory war on the poor.
Govt amending Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.
Banks required to monitor people on benefits, report to DWP.
If you help family/friends, they could lose benefits.
No equivalent surveillance of political donors, crony contracts, tax dodgers.

Our cat once used a decoy mouse. Partner was going to work and found a dead mouse beside his boot. Cleaned it up and then put his boot on…. Made a horrible “squish” noise as foot connected with second mouse. It’s scary when they are learning warfare.

Because people on benefits shouldn’t have any self esteem. They should be in rags, eat the lowest value food (often perpetuating bad nutrition but that’s an aside), not have access to tech… basically be back in workhouses regressing back to Victorian era
So Mark thinks those with mental illnesses should be left and “nature takes it’s course with”
What a thoroughly ignorant disgusting eg of a human
Let’s hope life never goes wrong in any way for him and he has to experience any issues

@AIImmigrant
I agree
Unfortunately many people see it as the thing that stands in the way of “getting rid of forriners” and some peoples’ hate is so strong and they are so twisted that they can’t see past it and it both worries and upsets me
@EmergMedDr
To be honest I am starting to wonder why you guys do it -don’t get me wrong I am over the bloody moon you do I have had my life saved more times than I care to remember and would be homeless/ bankrupt if not in the UK!

"NEARLY HALF OF FAMILIES WITH A DISABLED CHILD LIVING IN POVERTY"
I just found out that 4.2 million children in the UK are living in poverty. They didn’t choose this – but our politicians did
It’s never the child’s fault
And this is not OK in 21st Century Britain

Yea we have UNICEF and MSM operating on British soil. In 2024. When we are not at war. But children are literally starving to death
While the Tories flog a dead cat that no-one in their right mind cares more about than the actual issues

It’s really NOT ok

While some strikes may inconvenience you it will “inconvenience” you more when you are banned from complaining about inequality and even criminal practices in the workplace
Yesterday the Conservatives voted through their Anti-Strike Bill that bans strikes for the Public Sector now it goes to the House of Lords, if you support the right to strike give this a RT.
We have had this right for 170 years they cannot take it away.
