I signed up for Restore out of curiosity. I don't have much faith in Rupert Lowe. He thumbed a lift into Parliament in Farage's car, changed the radio channel without asking then made himself objectionable. Iow, without Farage he wouldn't have attained a seat. If my Dad had been in the same place, I'd say the same and my Dad was a team player.
Restore is basically an online magazine trying to be a pressure group.
They update me, reply to emails, fine, if only other sites did that but..
Three recent polls they conducted had c.6000 votes each.
With the digi ID petition at 2.8m what use are 6000 votes?
Deportation will involve money, willing enforcers, presumably uniformed, transport with willing drivers/ operators, a receptive destination and some international agreement.
This deportation Force. Who is the typical recruit? Not from the Left who will go mad obstructing the issue.
I don't confine this question to Restore. A headache for anyone.
The bulk in question can leave out of fear, the reason some arrived, voluntarily, good luck or be dragged out screaming (you thought Gaza was a fuss?)
The likes of Colonel Mad Mitch (Aden) are no longer extant. Ireland would have been sorted, so who?
I'm not sure about Harrison Pitt. Obviously intelligent and well read every so often he lets slip that his model for government should be a 17th century Hobbesian one with a "monarch" who cannot be questioned. Given his friendship with Connor Tomlinson it would probably be a Catholic one at that.
Leaving the ECHR is attention grabbing but there are many steps to be taken before you even reach that point. As Dr Starkey points out you can't do that before you've sorted out the UK judiciary but that's not so dazzling an idea so, of course, a tub-thumping low brained Reform and a desperate for any thumbs up Conservatives have gone to the end point without considering the other steps needed to get there. And if the judiciary in this country is sorted out then leaving the ECHR might not be necessary.
Restore have no chance of making inroads...they are a think tank like the Bruges Group. Reform's the only game in town...sadly, because I loathe them...Today Farage is asking the King to visit his constituency. Forget the CCP spy scandal, forget about all the other pressing policy issues right now, he needs more publicity and if the King says "sorry, can't do" then there will be an uproar from the Reform faithful and probably a call for a republic because their leader got turned down. The crowd I used to hang out with before they threw their lot in with Reform mock you for writing a 6,000 word policy document; which they refused to read, but of course they can't come up with anything other than "REFORM SURGE!".
You don’t need to “leave the ECHR” just ignore it. Change the British Human Rights Act or simply abolish it. We managed for centuries perfectly well without it.
A referendum of the UK populace asking if they want a law requiring Parliament to provide a referendum each time Parliament wants to abrogate their powers to a foreign organisation, would undermine every foreign party with power to intervene in UK matters (provided the referendum was for such a law).
The tragedy of our politcal system these days is that few if any politcians or their advisors are capable of doing detail with joined up thinking both always being trumped by populist rhetoric sprinkled with some virtue signalling.
I do get confused when you get into the technical legal arguments. But in terms of the points on 'practicalities' I fully understand you. I also understand that others, instead of crediting you and getting you on board to help advise on policies, just repeat your work and don't even credit you. That is appalling.
Pete, you have a very clever mind and you can take apart a policy very well, as well as put it back together again in a workable construct.
Don't ever lose faith in yourself. Your mind is amazing.
Thanks for this analysis, Pete. Very interesting and much what I expected. I go along with David Starkey on this. Unless the Judiciary is reformed, which may introduce “control” that will seem suspicious, ordinary British people may lose what very little protection they get under HR.
We would need a least a new and better Bill of Rights or even a written Constitution to cover us. I shudder to think what that might look like in the hands of the near illiterates in the House of Commons at the moment.
