A FORMER Supreme Court judge has blasted Europe’s human rights laws imposed on Brits.
Jonathan Sumption said we have no control over the European Convention on Human Rights and its influence on our laws.
He backed a Policy Exchange report which hit back at claims that leaving the convention would be a betrayal of Sir Winston Churchill.
GettyWinston Churchill As Prime Minister 1940-1945[/caption]Lord Sumption said: “It has now become an expanding source of domestic law over which Parliament has no influence or control and which it cannot repeal or amend.
“The British electorate has no input into it. The constitutional implications are enormous, although hardly appreciated by the public or acknowledged by professional politicians.”
The report argues that although Britain helped draft the ECHR it is a far cry from what the Government had imagined as a safeguard against fascism and communism.
