Out of control



Use of Human Rights Act in immigration cases ‘out of control’, Conservatives say

he use of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in immigration cases is “out of control”, the shadow home secretary has said, as the Conservative Party will push for it not to apply in immigration decisions.

Chris Philp said Parliament has been “circumvented” by the ECHR and those presiding over tribunals were not using enough “common sense”.


It has been obvious for a long time that the Blob is out of control and whatever they are promised, voters have no evidence that major political parties intend to resolve the problem. If past experience counts as evidence, then it suggests that the major parties will carry on lying to us.

Political parties are out of control too and to a good approximation, voters have no influence over them.

A lot of our current troubles stem from lawyers.

Over a hundred years ago, Max Weber predicted rule by the "Blob". And he also said how lawyers were professionally well qualified to understand how bureaucracies function, and so would be over-represented in parliamentary democracies. Decisions are being made without ever consulting us; we just pay their wages.
