Leaving the ECHR will not allow you to deport all Asylum Seekers, you can't deport a person without the other country accepting them.

But it will allow the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Paid Holiday, Max Working Hours, Maternity Leave and much more to be cancelled.

Pyewacket: Day 295 and the subject still doesnโ€™t appear to be of any use to the colony. It smells bad, it eats anything and spends its time chewing. They took it out and it came back without its testicles. This doesnโ€™t seem to have dampened its spirits, still running round like an idiot.
