Reform Richard Tice spouts guff on scrapping human rights

According to Farage wing-man and Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice MP, the majority of the British public want to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Of course, it had many people on social media rolling their eyes. Because that was news to – funnily enough – the majority of the UK public.

ECHR: Tice tearing up human rights – for the people, of course

Human rights organisation Liberty has described how the ECHR was:

drafted in the aftermath of the Second World War and the Holocaust in an attempt to protect the people from the State, make sure the atrocities committed would never be repeated, and safeguard fundamental rights.

Crucially, it stated that this has:

protected us from things like torture, killing, and slavery and assures our freedom of speech, assembly, religion, privacy and much more.

So naturally, Reform deputy leader Richard Tice – self-appointed spokesperson of the white working class – wants to ditch it. On behalf of them, of course:

Because stripping away workers rights and peeling back regulations will really help poor communities capitalist parasites and their political ideologues have decimated through rampant neoliberalism and brutal austerity. Didn’t he get the Farage millionaire MP memo? That ordinary working man down the pub public relations trick needs to do a lot of extra heavy lifting right now, Ticey-boy.

Unsurprisingly, it turned out, he doesn’t actually speak for the majority of people at all. Tice was doing what Tice does best, and talking out his arse:

As the recent election results also showed:

In fact, one poster highlighted a series of polls that have shown quite the opposite:

Though, as the Canary has pointed out before, the UK is still packed with out-and-proud bigots. Specifically, a recent YouGov poll separately found that over a third of Reform voters supported the recent race riots. As we highlighted, this equated to over 1.3 million people.

Clearly, Tice was pandering to this right-wing base. By majority then, Tice meant his little cesspit fascist bubble of Reform supporters and racist rioters:

In reality however, alarmingly sizeable as it is, this is still a minority of the UK population.

Once a Brexit-mongering liar…

Some therefore pointed out Richard Tice’s ECHR proclamation would go the way of the recent race riots. In other words, Tice may as well be clamouring his guff to four blokes with a flag on racist roundabout island – the rest of us couldn’t give a toss what crock of shit comes out his lying mouth:

We can’t possible think why the Reform UK leader might want to bamboozle the British public Brexit-style over the ECHR either. Though maybe we’ll just leave this here:

Not that it’s stopped Tice and his slimy political ilk before however. Leave.EU anyone? Notably, the former Brexit campaign broke UK electoral law – and a certain Richard Tice was one of its two co-founders. However, one poster expressed that the ECHR is the only thing that (sometimes) stands between corporate-captured crony capitalists in Westminster and the UK public:

Of course, it’s not simply the boon from losing free and fair elections Reform and co. could cash in on either. Tearing up climate crisis ‘red tape’, environmental regulations, and worker’s rights – nice work if you’re a fossil fuel-funded vested climate-denying scoundrel like Tice I suppose. Or more generally, a paid political-media shill for the capitalist class:

There was one compelling reason to back the shameless grifter after all then:

At the end of the day, the biggest question is: what has lying scumbag Richard Tice ever done for us? The answer should be obvious.
