Owen Paterson

[Hindsight]

I guess he is just rolling the dice/clutching at straws to clear his name. But no sense of shame/irony is there?
Must admit I thought us Brits no longer had recourse to ECHR but there.

The ECHR is nothing to do with the EU - a point often conveniently ignored by Brexiters who purposefully (?!) conflate the word European in the title acronym with EU for blatant political anti EU point scoring. 46 individual states in Europe (including all 27 of the EU) are signatories to the Treaty. One state wishes to leave. That state is the UK. Quite sad and disturbing that. Patel, Braverman, ERG (UKIP) Farage. Says it all really how this country has changed.

Owen Paterson, the arch brexiteer and upholder of moral values, is taking the UK govt to the EU court of human rights over being found out. You couldn't make it up!

Nothing to do with the European Union.
Russia and the UK are the only countries to leave it or propose to leave it.
