Pre-ECHR, rights were almost completely at the whims of the current parliament - which doesn't always represent public majority. The Bill of Rights of 1689 could be very easily abolished by parliamentary majority.
The ECHR created a set of rights that have an external guarantor. That's the point.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Trans people aren’t the issue, immigrants aren’t the issue. Your life is shit because of billionaires, who brainwash you into hating or blaming scapegoats so you won’t turn on them.

Laws bent to help the rich - privatisations, PFI, corporate subsidies, capital gains and dividends taxed at lower rates than wages, unchecked profiteering.

She wasn't saying Jewish people and Travellers don't experience racism. She's saying that racism takes different forms.

3) if u own a UK utility company & u leave because of high taxes, the asset stays, tax that or take it back = lower bills.
