Patrick there is an almighty row brewing about the echr. That argument seems to centre around two key things perception on the world stage and sovereignty over Border Control in terms of how it would look on the world stage for us to get out of the echr. Im a bit sick of british citizens having to pay the price for how the elites think we should to their elite mates should look to their elite mates around that is a around the world that is a luxury for people who luxury ambition for people who can afford luxuries which many ordinary cannot ordinary brits simply cannot get. People say if we pulled out of the echr, wed be like russia or belarus. I mean, thats just or belarus. I mean, thats just not is it . But by that not true. Is it . But by that logic, wed also like anybody logic, wed also be like anybody else in it. Like, oh , else who isnt in it. Like, oh, i america, canada, i dont know, america, canada, new , japan. Id rather new zealand, japan. Id rather be those countries than be like those countries than like bosnia or lithuania or north. In belarus, a North Macedonia. In belarus, a couple of years ago, there was a political uprising and about 27,000 people were initially detained. Thousands were tortured, shot, beaten and killed. In belarus, their killed. In belarus, their Security Services are still known as the kgb. Over here, people can get away with tearing down a statue and chucking it in a harbour and a police force are at pains not to accidentally misgender someone. There is a big difference there, isnt there . Element of how were there . The element of how were perceived on the world stage that i really care about is how clearly millions of people from africa in the middle east think that were a meal ticket and a free ride. Our standing on the world stage clearly is that we are soft touch. Now when it are a soft touch. Now when it comes to sovereignty over our own borders, like the own borders, i feel like the vast of brits are not vast majority of brits are not comfortable with somebody from luxembourg, luxembourg, liechtenstein, monaco or moldova being able to tell us who we can and cannot deport. That just doesnt sit deport. That just doesnt sit that well with me. It doesnt feel right , that well with me. It doesnt feel right, but it is this way. If there was to be a vote on the table today, the british citizens, if they wanted foreign judges to be able to dictate who we could and could not keep in britain, i personally dont think that we would vote for that. Think that we would vote for that. So should we now be given that. So should we now be given the choice to vote to leave it . The choice to vote to leave it . I actually do feel sorry for Suella Braverman and rishi sunak. Weve given money to the french to do a bit more in the channel. Weve taken in genuine Asylum Seekers and refugees from ukraine as ukraine and afghanistan, as well as theyve as other nations. Theyve gone into battle over illegal into battle over the illegal migration bill. Theyve sorted out kind of suella out a rwanda plan kind of suella stood up on the world stage and said that the world needs to change its definition of a refugee. Frankly in to refugee. Frankly in order to save from falling into save the world from falling into total chaos and disrepair. But the want to know. The world didnt want to know. So whats the only option now . Is it not to leave the echr and have more control . The world isnt going to help us out here in britain. Isnt it time to just help ourselves. Yeah thats just help ourselves. Yeah thats what i think. I want to hear from you. Of course. Email me gb views. Gbnews. Com. Do you think we should be getting out of the echr . There will be massive pushback and there pushback on that and there is a very staying in it very good case for staying in it as let me know your as well. So let me know your views either side. Im joined views on either side. Im joined now gb news Political Editor now by gb news Political Editor Christopher Christopher Christopher Hope. Christopher thank you very, very much. Look, lets just start with the politics begin with. How has politics to begin with. How has it gone down, this idea now, the kind of rolling of wicket, kind of rolling of the wicket, as were, for us leave the as it were, for us to leave the echr. Echr. Well, i think its been well received. I think by by the received. I think by by the right of the tory party that that speech by Suella Braverman, an extraordinary speech made by an extraordinary speech made by a home secretary, one of the most ones i can most extraordinary ones i can remember covering remember in 20 years covering politics minster politics here in west minster has hares has really set the hares running. It was signed running. I mean, it was signed off number downing street. Off by number 10 downing street. I a sense, suella i think in a sense, Suella Braverman was giving some cover for the Prime Minister, who is trying political. And trying to be more political. And well at next well see more of that at next weeks Party Conference. Weeks tory Party Conference. But well hear more, more voices , notably from priti patel, of course , who a predecessor of course, who was a predecessor of Suella Braverman. And earlier today westminster , in our today in westminster, in our studios i sat down to ask studios here, i sat down to ask her about this, and heres what she had to say. Pulled out of she had to say. Pulled out of the European Convention on human rights. So i think its right that we have this active live discussion and i voted in parliament basically to do that. There was a ten minute rule bill in parliament, and i dont think government can take options off the table. I really dont. And ive always thought that of course itll with endless course itll come with endless challenges difficulties and challenges and difficulties and by difficulties that by the way, difficulties that might even impact existing legislation and immigration bill. Lets speak about this from an immigration perspective. Right now, you know, we can do much more. Theres no doubt about through derogations about that. Through derogations of echr current members of the government who were in previous roles in government were asked to the work in the last to do the work in the last government this. So clearly government on this. So clearly there you know, its right there is you know, its right that at of this. But that we look at all of this. But what would say, having these what i would say, having these conversations, of conversations, this side of a general election when we could be 8 months from be 6 to 8 months away from a general election in again, thats not going to lead to delivery. We to going go . Delivery. Are we to going go . The question and im sure the question is, and im sure the public will be interested in this, the next this, will we go to the next general again with general election again with a manifesto or leaving manifesto for reform or leaving the echr which the conservatives have you know, 2010, was have done . You know, 2010, i was i there. I to i see it there. I came to parliament. Its done parliament. Its been done before. And the question is, before. And so the question is, are they going to do it again . Will should priti patel are they going to do it again . Will shnim priti patel are they going to do it again . Will shnim absolutely patel are they going to do it again . Will shnim absolutely pro. El are they going to do it again . Will shnim absolutely pro. L are they going to do it again . Will shnim absolutely pro. The im pro im absolutely pro. The changes need to see to changes that we need to see to protect our country and to protect our country and to protect the rights of britain and british citizens and its right that we do this in a proper way, rather than over promising and then saying, you know, post a general election as its happened before, its too difficult. Can you see a point in maybe at the end of the decade when the uk is not in the echr . Well i would its part of, you i would say its part of, you know, reforms and changes know, the reforms and changes britain post brexit. Britain post brexit. About that the crucial thing about that is, we said would is, is that we said we would reclaim sovereignty , it would be reclaim sovereignty, it would be in of laws. I in control of our laws. I believe that totally. I believe that. Its right that we that. And its right that we do that. And its right that we do that. Priti patel there talking to us here in our westminster studios. And thats the kind of language patrick, youll be heanng language patrick, youll be hearing through the next the next five days at the tory Party Conference. So people like priti patel to say, come on, we patel trying to say, come on, we need take some action need to take some action here. Im full withdrawal is im not sure full withdrawal is on table. Patrick, as you on the table. Patrick, as you rightly , for example, old rightly say, for example, old people homes on people in care homes rely on human rights legislation to ensure treated with ensure theyre treated with dignity in old age. So you dont want throw the baby out with want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. But i think the idea echr rules idea of making these echr rules work for who live work better for people who live in is something which is in the uk is something which is a issue right now in the a live issue right now in the tory a live issue right now in the tonyeah, exactly. And i opened a live issue right now in the tor byah, exactly. And i opened a live issue right now in the tor by sayingctly. And i opened a live issue right now in the tor by saying theresd i opened a live issue right now in the tor by saying theres an opened a live issue right now in the tor by saying theres an almighty up by saying theres an almighty row over this and it has divided the arguably the conservative party, arguably a brexit, and a little bit like brexit, and there dissenting there are some dissenting voices when comes to any proposition when it comes to any proposition that should leave the that we should leave the echr what the of arguments what are the kind of arguments for staying then . I think you made there about the elderly made one there about the elderly in. In care homes. Well, theres that. Theres also issues of whenever you go on the world stage with the Prime Minister, those of us lucky enough to go with him, hell try and press human hell often try and press human rights foreign rights issues in foreign countries, china, countries, notably in china, with the uyghurs in other places. Raised the issue places. He raised the issue of an individual the g20 an individual on the recent g20 visit that went with him to visit that i went with him to delhi. Theres also an issue there with the Northern Ireland peace sokovia bearing on Peace Process sokovia bearing on that. As Peace Process sokovia bearing on tithink as Peace Process sokovia bearing on tithink how as Peace Process sokovia bearing on tithink how we as Peace Process sokovia bearing on tithink how we look as Peace Process sokovia bearing on tithink how we look on as Peace Process sokovia bearing on tithink how we look on an as i think how we look on an international stage. If international stage. Patrick, if we the echr, we were to pull out of the echr, its hard for us then to its quite hard for us then to lecture other countries about their behaviour internationally and within the within the uk. The human rights act that came in 1998 enshrined much of the echr in law, and thats where the whole problem has come about the whole problem has come about the rights and whose the issue of rights and whose rights matter more than the other but think those other others. But i think those there rights the there are some rights within the uk want, uk which we wouldnt want, wouldnt by pulling wouldnt want to lose by pulling out is complicated , but out the echr is complicated, but the think the laws got the point i think t
