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.
Possibly, there is so much Islamic influence on political parties and local authorities that any attempt to stem the flow of young, male, military age, small boat invaders, most of whom are from Islamic countries, is very quickly crushed. Being publicly accused of racism or religious intolerance very quickly tends to shut people up, especially as they know the usual crowd will follow them around, damage their homes, threaten their families, or lie to get them sacked. The irony is that it is those making accusations of intolerance are the ones being intolerant. However, logic never was one of their strong points.
It has been suggested that so many Muslims are being elected to local authorities, by other Muslims and loony left wingers, naturally, that there is a danger that the majority of, if not all, councils, will soon be dominated by the intolerant, racist, mysoginistic members of the religion of peace. Just look at how Sad Dick Khan't responds to criticism? Pte Frazer has been right all along, but didn't know half of it.

This one is a tricky business in the UK … Lowe is perhaps best placed but will only carry a certain number of voters already voting, though he could make the non-voting eligible rethink if he has a good structure about him. With Farage a busted flush, with Tice too … they might still carry the disgruntled Tory ex-left, e.g. Andrea … hmmmm, much thinking to do.
Sam - and professionally there isn't much difference between lawyers and bureaucrats, so much so that voters should be more wary of electing lawyers into a bureaucracy. Starmer is a good example, one we should learn from but won't.
Penseivat - another related problem could be the loss of talent as people with transferrable skills tire of the both the intolerance and the incompetence and just leave the UK to settle elsewhere. It's impossible to see which factors might come into play, as Islam could be undermined in a similar way.
James - early days, but Lowe may as well put out feelers, there is plenty of time for a new alliance to shape itself.
Perhaps Reform contains the seeds of its own destruction, like so many projects? I saw the Rupert Lowe debacle coming for months. Farage has his own ideas about where he wants to direct the party, and he has a reputation amongst people who work with him, for shooting down anyone who shines too brightly. Actually Farage is not a very good political strategist, remember how he stood against the Speaker in one general election, some constituency near Buckingham wasn't it? Pretty stupid move. He is very charismatic with the electorate though and can garner votes, but that isn't enough in itself. There was another politician with charisma and the common touch who also had blonde hair and that didn't go at all well.
The fact is Reform needs both type of men. I don't think Lowe can form another party, the electorate will simply say 'not another one, and why should we trust you?' He simply wont be able to garner enough votes to topple Starmer and the way Reform are behaving, neither will they.
Tammly - political parties don't seem to work as our democracy implies that they should. This spat with Lowe suggests Farage and Reform won't change this. Even though Farage has the rhetorical ability to attract a following, the propaganda will be relentless as an election approaches.
If the decline continues, then a new and dangerously charismatic leader may emerge, so we need the party system to work better, but it shows no sign of doing so.
The Tories had 14 years to do something about immigration but sat on their hands and did bugger all. Now it appears that Reform is beginning to implode. A pox on all their houses.
John - it's clearly deliberate, probably driven by more than one consideration, none of them fit to be admitted publicly. Yes, a pox on all their houses.
