Take the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights

Closed 1,809 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe it is necessary to take the UK out of the ECHR to take back full control of our borders, to that the UK can implement measures to prevent migrants entering the country illegally.
It has been reported that suspected terrorists have entered the UK illegally from France but because they have the right to have a claim for asylum considered cannot be removed. We believe this is a national emergency. The Government must take all necessary action to protect the British people from the threat of terrorist acts. We believe this country is being made unsafe, and that the impact on our public services is enormous. Start putting law abiding citizens first.
