    The ECHR is not an EU court, it’s a Council of Europe court, different organisation.

    Edit: To make things more confusing, the EU is in negotiations about joining the Council of Europe.

      I tok great pleasure in making my Brexiter dad look a tit by asking what he disliked about the EU. “Well I’m sick of their human rights court telling us what to do! So I’m voting we leave the EU!”

      Me: “But we’d still be covered by the ECHR. Are you thinking of the ECJ?”

      I don’t speak to him anymore cos he’s a cunt*.

      *Not politics - he’s just a cunt who doesn’t approve of my ‘lifestyle choices’ (childless, gay and mentally ill).
