A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. Winston would be turning in his grave if he could see what this would lead to. He left us a free country, not a country unable to move in any direction due to the suffocating walls we built ourselves to ensure our almost total incapacity to do anything.

The ECHR has become completely onerous to governments due to the over-reach of judges, made worse by the fact that the UK seems to be the only country to take these judgments seriously. Other European nations only implement those decisions that suit them.

Well, the Catholics tend to breed like rabbits, so it’s only a matter of time before they become the majority of the electorate.
