#KemiBadenoch wants to pull the UK out of the #ECHR, wrecking treaties from the #GoodFridayAgreement #GFA to the Gibraltar deal.

@Wen It's very odd logic. If only the UK news media included any journalists who gave enough of a fook about the Celtic nations to pursue questions about it.

And as with Brexit, the #GFA seems forgotten. There was one generation of Brit politicians who gave a damn, but Johnson ended that.

@2legged

I think #isolationism is absolutely undesirable. The opposite, engagement can be both good and bad.

I support constructive engagement. Think the #GFA agreement. Good engagement is necessary, more can be achieved by making friends over the longer term

The negative, think our various adventures in the Gulf. Huge expenditures of blood and money and for what?

I don’t think I can be any clearer. If that is “playing games” and I’m failing to pass some kind of purity test, then so be it

Walking smoothly on the path… and resting before the prompt search/debuging tomorrow.

Farage: No problem changing GFA to remove ECHR reference
https://www.rte.ie/news/2025/0906/1532172-farage-echr/
<< abso-fucking-lutely a problem. The ECHR reference was added to stop the UK reneging on its agreement by creative interpretation. Farage and his ilk are literally the fucking reason for the ECHR reference.

He longs for perfidious albion!

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/05/uk-exit-from-echr-would-remove-foundations-of-good-friday-agreement. I strongly suspect that Kemi #Badenoch & Nigel #Farage don't give a damn about the #GFA - or the #TCA, which is equally dependent on the #ECHR - but what would they put in place of these agreements - anything or nothing, @pennine?

The Good Friday Agreement #GFA, signed in 1998, ended most of the violence of #TheTroubles.
It called for a commission to review policing in #NorthernIreland. As a consequence, in 2001, the Royal Ulster Constabulary #RUC was reformed and renamed to #PSNI.
Jon Boutcher, the Chief Constable of the PSNI, leads Operation #Kenova, which has spent the last seven years, and £40m, investigating 101 murders and abductions linked to the #British military double-agent known by the code #Stakeknife.

One of the report’s most serious conclusions is that the impunity was discussed at Cabinet level during the conflict and continued until six years after the #IRA ceasefire of 1994 and two years after the Good Friday Agreement.
(Prime Ministers: Margaret #Thatcher, #JohnMajor, Tony #Blair.)

+++ Grundgesetz für Alle! Die Zeit ist jetzt! +++

Nach den Correctiv-Enthüllungen über das Geheimtreffen von AfD und Co ist klar: wir müssen JETZT handeln.

Dazu gehört auch: endlich queere Menschen durch das Grundgesetz zu schützen!

3 Dinge, die Du JETZT dafür tun kannst:

1. Petition der Initiative "Grundgesetz für Alle" unterschreiben
2. Petition teilen
3. Der Initiative folgen und Aktionen supporten

https://www.grundgesetz-fuer-alle.de/

Rechtspopulist*innen wollen queeren Menschen ihre Rechte nehmen – zum Beispiel die Ehe für Alle abschaffen oder Queers als krankhaft einstufen lassen. Sie warten nur darauf, die Uhr zurückzudrehen.

Nicht mit uns!

Das Problem: Trotz systematischer Verfolgung unter der NS-Diktatur und aktuell wieder zunehmender Queerfeindlichkeit, werden queere Menschen bis heute nicht durch das Grundgesetz geschützt. Das ist ein Skandal!
Ohne Widerspruch zum Grundgesetz können heute noch Gesetze gelten oder eingeführt werden, die queere Menschen diskriminieren. Ein No-Go!

Jetzt ist die Zeit: endlich auch queere Menschen durch das Grundgesetz schützen!

Rishi Sunak claims new Rwanda asylum bill will prevent legal challenges

Only two countries have left the #ECHR

1) Russia expelled for its aggression against Ukraine.

2) Greece, who left the ECHR in 1967, whilst under a military regime accused of mental and physical torture.

Are we going to join this unhappy band?

What about the #GFA

What will Biden say?
