​

Important information is missing from the above

the ECHR DOES NOT protect free speech at all.

on the front of the packet it does.

​

Inside of the packet though is

 

Article 10(1) as above.... WHAT is HIDDEN is:

Article 10(2)

​

Article 10(2):

Article 10(2) of the European Convention on Human Rights allows for restrictions on the right to freedom of expression, provided they are prescribed by law, serve a legitimate aim, and are necessary in a democratic society. This means that while individuals have the right to express their opinions, certain limitations can be imposed for reasons like national security or public order. legislation.gov.uk Wikipedia

​
​

​OPINION:

We will leave the ECHR as Article 10 (1) guarantees free speech UNTIL...

Article 10(2) (above):    UNTIL THEY SAY SO​, at any time, on any whims of the leadership
