PM blustering on ECHR to no avail

Wednesday, 25th January 2012

UKIP Leader Nigel Farage has dismissed the Primer Minister's posturing over the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg today, telling him he must "face the facts".

"David Cameron's blustering to no avail about the harmful effect of the European Court of Human Rights," said Mr Farage.
 
"He must face the facts and tell people the truth that the UK cannot leave the ECHR or the Convention on Human Rights while we are members of the EU.
 
"The stream of ridiculous judgements from the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, protecting drug dealers and known terrorists will continue to bind us in knots while we are signed up members of the EU.

"I asked the EU Commission about this issue last year and they made it crystal clear that while the UK is a member of the EU, we must fully comply with the  ECHR. David Cameron should not suggest otherwise."
