The UK Should leave the ECHR and rebuild the Convention to reflect the principles of the Founding Fathers

British justice should not be over-ruled by the European Court of Human Rights - Telegraph:

A very useful article in the Sunday Telegraph (see above), highlighting the Abu Qatada case. Yet again the modern European Court of Human Rights has acted against natural justice.

The European Convention was established after the Second World War to prevent the horrors of Nazi Germany from ever happening again. The whole purpose of the Convention was to stop tyranny and terrorism - not appease it.

It was never envisaged that the Convention would mutate into a Court that gives succour to extremists and allows them to spread poison and terrorism. Nor could it ever be imagined that the Convention would demand that prisoners should have the vote.

It is time for Britain to withdraw from the ECHR, and work to rebuild the Convention so that it reflects its Founding Fathers original principles once again.
