@kemibadenochmp.bsky.social '... ECHR rulings morphed so fundamentally that they now limit our ability to control our borders...' - really? Please justify with facts. Re 'Rwanda ruling': ECHR/ Int law held unlawful as R was unsafe so not unlawful per se - as to the law in issue UKSC stated:

#OnThisDay in 1982, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that using corporal punishment in UK schools, against parents’ wishes, was not OK. The practice was subsequently banned, benefitting generations of British children. 🔗 www.coe.int/en/web/impac... #ECHR
