“Since 1980, the European Court of Human Rights has found against the UK in only 13 removal cases, and just four of those concerned family life. In relation to immigration rules more broadly, the Court has only three times ruled that the UK's immigration rules violate the ECHR in the past 45 years.” https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-09-04-misrepresentations- around-human-rights-and-immigration-fuelling-calls-quit-echr

This all began under Cameron
Marcus Moore With apologies for the length of this comment, but I used to write for the BBC and have a lingering fondness for the place, which is one of the reasons I've been paying very close attention to what's been happening behind the scenes. A number of changes made during the last seven years or so, spearheaded by David Cameron, have led to the corporation's news and politics departments becoming little more than ventriloquists' dummies. Of particular note are the following: a) important posts at the BBC being filled by pro-government figures from the private sector (Rona Fairhead, David Clementi, James Harding, Robbie Gibb etc b) direct links with the manipulative tabloid press being strengthened by Downing Street giving important positions to dubious characters like Andy Coulson and Craig Oliver c) the subsequent recruitment of people like Alison Fuller Pedley (of Mentorn Media), who is responsible for choosing who gets to be in the Question Time audience, and Sarah Sands (formerly of the Telegraph, Mail and Evening Standard) who now edits Radio 4's Today programme d) all of the above follows Cameron's appointment, in June 2010, of John Browne (Baron Browne of Madingley) to the post of 'Lead Non-Executive Director' for Downing Street, his role being that of 'recruiting business leaders to reformed departmental boards' - Browne's questionable history at BP notwithstanding (remember Deep Horizon!) e) how all of this quiet, underhand activity has been largely unreported, but has given the current Conservative government immense power within fashionable and influential circles. This means they cannot only dictate what information is made available to the public, but also the manner in which it is presented. You don't need to read many pages of that book by George Orwell to grasp how easy it is to control the populace once you have control of the means of communication.

"’Sport’ hunting is a sickness, a perversion and a danger and should be recognised as such. People who get their 'amusement' from hunting and killing defenceless animals can only be suffering from a mental disorder. In a world with boundless opportunities for amusement, it's detestable that anyone would choose to get thrills from killing others who ask for nothing from life but the chance to remain alive.” Sir Roger Moore (seven time James Bond)

Ah yes, the good old days…🥲
Gosh, remember the good old days? I'm talking way back, before the internet Before home entertainment When you had to make your own fun Way back, when the three day week meant candles and early bedtime Lino and no central heating When the frost was on the inside of the window Yes, back then. Before Mom had a washing machine or dishwasher Before frozen food and supermarkets When there were only three cars parked on the road And not one outside your house Wait, there's more from the good old days, The national anthem at the cinema, Smoke where you please The cane, condoms as thick as tyres, When you could leave your front door open Cuz there was nothing to steal When single mothers were a disgrace And there was such a thing as living in sin No race relations legislation, no disability discrimination No gay rights, no sexual harrasment legislation Maternity leave, maternity pay, paternity leave Wait, just a bit more .... Two channels on the television, dodgy abortions, And all the animal testing you could manage When spaghetti bolognaise was foreign muck When Asians were pakis and the others were wogs, Cripples, loonies, poofs and birds, It wasn't all ice cream on the pier The good old days. Gone but not forgotten

I think the danger is that large numbers of people are just put off politics altogether and can’t see the point in voting, and that can be dangerous…
