Is the ECHR fit for purpose in the 2020's?
What, if anything, need amending/updating to be relevant for the foreseeable future?
What elements remain "as is"?

......probably "yes" outside of London and its environs.
But what is meant by "local wages"?
What about property bought by the wealthy "unwaged'? Second homes?
The policy raises questions but is a move in the right direction.

The speed of the transaction isn't the issue.
It's the affordability.
Bring back the wage multiplier system.

Israel accused of 'torturing' Greta Thunberg after Gaza flotilla intercepted
Other activists gave similar accounts at Istanbul Airport, alleging Thunberg was shoved and paraded with an Israeli flag
Israeli forces βtortured Greta Thunberg." She was βdragged on the ground, forced to kiss the Israeli flag," shoved & paraded around wrapped in an Israeli flag. Flotilla activists were imprisoned, not given food or water for 3 days, drinking from a toilet.
Imagine how they treat Palestinians.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Indeed. This young woman has done more in her life for humanitarian efforts than most of us will ever do. Israel's treatment of her for trying to give humanitarian aid to Gaza is disgusting and wrong.

Why are new laws needed?
When applying for a permit to demonstrate the reason and route are considerations.
If they are considered too similar to previous ones, don't grant the permit.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:
βI do not support the proscription of Palestine Actionβ
How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law theyβve been forced to enforce.

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Leaving the ECHR wonβt fix illegal migration
Half-baked tales of rulings turning on chicken nuggets are no basis for cutting Britain adrift
Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.
Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.
Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.

Before politicians and media get themselves into a mess. Let me clarify. For most Muslims, Sharia means living ethically, praying, and giving to charity. Any councils are advisory and are not above the law and are no different to Jewish Beth Din courts that have existed in the UK since the 1800s.
