A bit like Johnson’s plans to break the Brexit ‘oven-ready’ deal that he signed.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61806383

This is a government in crisis.
Ducking out of international deals, changing codes to avoid government ministers being questioned or scrutinised and now mooting leaving the ECHR.
From Sky News.

PM says changes to the law may be necessary to prevent Rwanda deportations being challenged in court
Boris Johnson has said the government may make changes to the law in response to the court challenges that have stymied attempts to deport migrants to Rwanda.
Asked whether he would consider pulling the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights, the prime minister said:
"It is certainly the case that the legal fraternity, or sorority or whatever, the legal world is very good at picking up ways of trying to stop the government from upholding what we think is a sensible law.

Isn’t that a bit rich from someone who couldn’t uphold other laws he himself made?
The Johnson administration feels that they can ride rough-shod through international laws and agreements and appears to making things up ad-hoc as it blunders from one crisis to another, most of their own making.

Hurrah - there is a bit of good news to start the day with!
//Otherwise why not make the proposed law changes beforehand? //

Ideally, yes, but in the meantime - potentially for years with all the inevitable 'challenges' - the influx continues... 10,000 up to now just this year.

If we said that anyone - man, woman or child - arriving here from France illegally will be put straight on a plane and flown out, I wonder how quickly it would stop? I'd guess immediately.
How many do you want us to take RH?

I don't think the refugees should be shipped off to Rwanda but efforts should be made to return them to their home countries unless those countries are in the midst of a conflict.
Lets take back control of our borders said Boris.
Not allowed to fly immigrants to Rwanda says the European courts .Has the British Bulldog had its tail clipped.
Even more Airport Chaos in the UK .
Holiday makers stranded at airports, flights cancelled , even immigrants can not get out, but they have no trouble getting into the UK .
This TORY Govt is an absolute shambles.
G u l l i v e r.... (name's in the book)

Lol, the people we mustn't be rude to can barely contain their glee this morning.

what we have here is 5C, blood sucking lawyers and assorted hand wringers behaving seditiously to undermine acts of parliament. Don't worry, the next plane will not be stopped, this will happen. First thing on the list is to get out of the ECHR and replace it with something designed to protect human rights. Not what we have now which is basically designed so criminal scum can moan about what way their kazi is facing. Disgusting. The Aussies did it 20 years ago, why can't we?
//efforts should be made to return them to their home countries unless those countries are in the midst of a conflict. //

All we need now is a large group of kindly fishermen willing to cast their rods into the English Channel to recover all the 'lost' documentation. That'll sort it.

I really think the way forward for the immediate future is to urgently review the benefits system - with the specific intention of making this country a less attractive prospect.
"First thing on the list is to get out of the ECHR and replace it with something designed to protect human rights."

Is the European Court of Human Rights not "designed to protect human rights" or have I mis-understood its purpose?
Apparently according to some amongst us the ECHR only protects those of a certain colour/residency/religion!
Sarcasm does not become you Naomi!
//Is the European Court of Human Rights not "designed to protect human rights" //

In theory only.

//or have I mis-understood its purpose? //

You've misunderstood its claimed neutrality.
RH, I'm still learning, RH.
09.01 Gulliver travels..... spicecrack .
But The immigrants don't.... L.M.A.O.
"You've misunderstood its claimed neutrality."

Would you care to enlighten me on its lack of neutrality?

naomi24,
//If anything is appalling, acceptance of that travesty most certainly is. None of these people are genuine asylum seekers - not one.//

….and you know this how?
Where did you come to have so much inside knowledge of their cases? I’m intrigued.
fatticus; "….and you know this how? " - stands to reason, if they were genuinely fleeing for their lives they'd apply as soon as they get onto the European Mainland. Only economic migrants would risk their life trying to cross to Britain. QED.
I'll give you an example, corby. The court ignored a legitimate claim because it was more concerned that a fair and proper judgement would create social unrest - and that renders its title a farce and the organisation unfit for purpose.
It frees up a plane for summer holidays for the brits !!!
