SCRAPPING ECHR IS NOT FAR-RIGHT IT'S JUST RIGHT

Findlay blasts Nats on illegal migration

- 

THE SNP has been accused of “grandstanding” by criticising Scots who speak out over fears of illegal immigration.

The brutal put-down came from the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Russell Findlay, as he backed a plan by UK counterpart Kemi Badenoch, right, to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) if the Tories win the next election.

Critics have, for years, blamed the legislation for allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the UK. Many of those opposed to the Bill believe it has been hijacked and weaponised by the Left.

Last week, the Tory party leader, Kemi Badenoch, received rapturous support when she announced the UK would be withdrawn from the ECHR in the event her party was voted into No10.

She stated: “I have not come to this decision lightly but it is clear that it is necessary to protect our borders, our veterans and our citizens. I have always been clear that we should leave the ECHR, if necessary, but unlike other parties we have done the serious work to develop a plan to do so — backed by legal advice from a distinguished King’s Counsel.”
