Suella Braverman's Call
Suella Braverman, speaking at the National Conservatives conference in Belgium, demanded that Rishi Sunak immediately remove Britain from the ECHR, stating that it's "choking" democracy and favoring criminals over law-abiding citizens.
Challenging European Courts
Braverman criticized European judges for prioritizing the rights of foreign criminals over the safety of law-abiding Brits, emphasizing the need to restore sovereignty to British courts by exiting the ECHR swiftly.
Controversy at the Conference
As Braverman delivered her speech, the socialist Mayor of Saint-Josse ordered police to shut down the conference, citing the prevention of public disturbance due to planned anti-fascist protests. Conference delegates were allowed to stay, but no one could enter or re-enter the venue.
Defending Conservative Values
In the midst of chaos, Braverman condemned the efforts to silence conservative voices, highlighting the importance of securing borders and protecting communities rather than suppressing political gatherings.
