LETTERS – Why are we still tied to ECHR?

Dear Boris,

It’s time to cancel our involvement with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

We have left the EU, why should we still be tied to a European Court with authority to override our highest courts?

The EU is simply using the ECHR to punish and humiliate us.

It’s time to remove this barrier to our self government.

When, was the last time that the ECHR ruled against China, Russia et al?
