Tell me, Nigel, which humans rights are you most looking forward to abolishing?
Greedy-Tutor3824 on
It makes sense he wants to avoid human rights, given that he’s a snake.

Would that mean we’d be free to do whatever we’d like to him. Cause if that the case he’s just won my vote.
One_Reality_5600 on
That’s because he does not care about human rights
ContributionIll5741 on
This, right here, is why, however you feel about Labour or the Tories, Reform are not the solution. Lib Dems, Greens, Independents and spoiled ballots would be far better protest votes.
Also: it’s curious how the Lib Dems, by far the third largest party, get a fraction of the air time as Farage and his 5 MPs 🤨
LShervallll on
Convinced he is trying his best to become unpopular. Nigel Farage doesn’t want power.
He wants money.
He can make a lot of money yelling from the opposition, it is literally all he has ever done.

Pesky humans and their rights, about time someone took them down.

In that photo farage looks like a seller of premium, 2nd hand Ford Cortina’s.

Given how much free airtime he gets on BBC, LBC and Sky (not mentioning GBN since I don’t watch trash) I am confident that he will be our next PM.

First thing I would do in power is fix all the problems!
I will not be elaborating. Vote for me!

Good job he’ll never get anywhere near the job then.

Count Binface should get more time on TV than this clown

I am never clear why more people don’t understand that the best thing we can do in relation to Nigel Farage is just FUCKING IGNORE HIM
WanderlustZero on
The real first thing he’d do would be to piss himself, shortly before cashing as much of his crypto as possible, chartering a jet and faking his own death

God I need an actual party to show up be worth voting for. It really is just Russian roulette with 3 slightly worse bullets each time
panguy87 on
That kinda feels like it should be maybe like a 2000th thing to do, or actually not done at all since human rights are quite important, relying on the state not to infringe them isn’t a good check or balance, more like wishful thinking. Anyway, considering how much other stuff should take higher priority if it’s the first thing he thinks should be done, he’s the wrong person to be leading a country

“I know, i’ll get rid of human rights to stop m’immigrants”
Removes minimum wage,redundancy pay, right to privacy, right to an attorney, right to healthcare, rent limits- basically anything that benefits non M&S shoppers

Withdrawing from the EU convention on human rights and *abolishing* human rights are not the same thing.
I don’t think we *should* withdraw, and I’ll never vote reform, but I have decided to burn my karma by pointing out the ridiculous hyperbole that appears in this sub.
I disagree with a lot of what Farage says, but he’s not a fucking cartoon villain. Like it or not, he represents concerns that many, sensible, rational adults have.

First thing he would do as PM is whatever the shadowy rich people backing him tell him to do.

Odd that Trump’s US ambassador to the UK is a Westminster MP. Didn’t think that was allowed.

The problem is the HRA’s interpretation of the ECHR not the ECHR itself. This is pure populism.
TheButtonz on
Sometimes it’s easy to forget what the ECHR provides. To save time here’s what our future AI overlords remind us what it protects
The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) provides a framework of key protections for individuals across the member states of the Council of Europe. Here are the main rights and freedoms it guarantees:
1. Right to life (Article 2)
• Protects against unlawful killing by the state.
• Requires states to investigate suspicious deaths and prevent foreseeable loss of life.
2. Prohibition of torture (Article 3)
• Absolute ban on torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
3. Prohibition of slavery and forced labour (Article 4)
• Forbids slavery, servitude, and forced or compulsory labour, with limited exceptions (e.g., military service, prison work).
4. Right to liberty and security (Article 5)
• Protects individuals from arbitrary arrest and detention.
• Requires procedural safeguards for lawful detention.
5. Right to a fair trial (Article 6)
• Ensures fair and public hearings within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal.
6. No punishment without law (Article 7)
• Prevents retrospective criminal laws.
7. Right to respect for private and family life (Article 8)
• Covers privacy, family, home, and correspondence.
• Can be limited in certain circumstances (e.g., national security).
8. Freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Article 9)
• Includes the right to hold beliefs and to manifest religion or belief.
9. Freedom of expression (Article 10)
• Protects freedom of speech, subject to certain restrictions (e.g., hate speech, national security).
10. Freedom of assembly and association (Article 11)
• Includes the right to protest and join trade unions or political parties.
11. Right to marry (Article 12)
• Recognizes the right to marry and start a family, according to national laws.
12. Right to an effective remedy (Article 13)
• Requires states to provide effective remedies for violations of rights.
13. Prohibition of discrimination (Article 14)
• Rights must be secured without discrimination on any grounds (e.g., sex, race, religion).
⸻
Additional rights are found in Protocols to the ECHR (e.g., right to education, right to property, abolition of the death penalty).

Well, as Farage is barely human, that’s hardly a surprise.
MindNarrow5322 on
The way this is going to fly with the anti-immigration crowd…
Unaware that the ECHR also stands to protect them against the state – i.e. if Farage took over and pulled a Trump
Oh wait…the recurring irony
EvilInCider on
He may well get a lot of votes for this. Even my Boomer aged parents (historically Labour) felt favourably towards Reform at the last election.
The media pushes ECHR as the sole reason we cannot deport foreign national criminals.
But surely the issues (and there are huge issues with it) are actually due to how our Judges interpret the ECHR?
Other countries under the ECHR seem to be doing better than we are… so I’d have thought the key will be how we interpret it, rather than leaving it.
Kosmopolite on
He’s such a B-list Bond villain, saying shit like this, and yet he still keeps getting elected. Utterly, utterly baffling.
Charming_Ad_6021 on
What do we want! Fewer rights! When do we want it! now!
If you’ve been convinced that this is a good idea and Refotm should get your vote, you should give your head a wobble.
Snaidheadair on
Unless he states what he’d replace it with if anything that is, anyone supporting it is simply an idiot.
samykcodes on
Why would anyone want to vote for a party that’s first plan is to remove some of their human rights?
Sorry_Emergency_7781 on
Then an hour later he’d grift the populace for all he can. He’s a con man like Trump
SpoiltBastard on
This thread and subsequent comments seem like this bombshell proposal has literally just been announced and definitely not been touted in the media whilst the idea skirted around by other parties over the last 2-3 years??
Antique_Loss_1168 on
Well last time he wanted to leave something it worked out great…
CarcasticSunt42O on
If that means deporting violent criminals without having to worry about their safety, I can see it getting a lot of support 🫤
