Nigel Farage is wrong about the European Convention on Human Rights.

He thinks we should leave the ECHR to reduce migration.

But not only do just a tiny number of immigration cases rely on human rights, leaving the ECHR would be an unmitigated disaster ⬇️

The Reform leader is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster.

tldr: economic crises benefit the right. If a center-right party is in power when the crisis hits, there is a shift even further to the right.

This is exactly what I thought. I believe journalists have to highlight this so politicians in general don’t get away with it. It’s becoming too easy to just say anything without questioning
Further to this, all the characteristics mentioned by Mahmood already have to be met to get ILR (salary, English, life in UK test, clean criminal record, no welfare benefits) other than this weird Duke of Edinburgh style volunteering thing that they cannot possibly implement.
I do think we sometimes forget:
1. We need high-skilled migrants to keep the NHS working, and to grow the economy
2. High-skilled migrants have a *lot* of choices over where to go

And

3. We’ve been getting less attractive as a destination for years anyway (wages here famously suck)

They want you to be obsessed with immigration so you ignore all the other problems.

But all the other problems ARE the problem.

Don't be distracted and let them blind you with hate.

Bad news for other regions too.

Result of real wage cuts, profiteering, shortages, rentier economy.
