Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto.
It's Brexit 2.
And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they

There are a lot of idiots enraged by this misleading Times headline.
The article itself - yes, the exact same one - points out that:
A) In any typical year, about 50 independent schools close
B) More independent schools opened than shut, so the overall number went up.
But that's far too nuanced.

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much.

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?
