Corbyn Under Fire for another Gaff

Bless the little Looney Labour party and it's hapless leader Jezbollah Corbyn. Looks like he has made another gaff !

It concerns Corbyn saying on the Andrew Marr show that the Eurpoean Court Of Human Rights is an "EU Institution"

Re: Corbyn Under Fire for another Gaff

The ECJ effectively takes its lead from the ECHR as far as human rights matters are concerned. In that sense you could say Corbyn was correct, if a little less than clear.

Indeed but that would ruin realists day if he couldn't make a jibe of some sort about Jeremy.

That would make the ECJ an ECHR institution, not the other way around.

The ECHR far predates the EU. The ECHR is thus most certainly NOT an EU institution. If the EU collapsed tomorrow, the ECHR would still be there.

If BrExit is permitted to go ahead, we would still be bound by the ECHR.

No, you couldn't. He was plain wrong.

The invention of trousers is well in advance of my birthday but it doesn't stop me wearing them.
Your argument is weak even by your standards.

Hi

A long term Labour supporter, Corbyn will not be getting my vote at the next Election.

It's not my argument, nor indeed is there any argument. The European Court Of Human Rights and its associated Convention have been with us since the 1950s.

It is not an EU institution. Simple as.
