Matt Goodwin gives ten terrifying reasons why we should leave.

Goodwin stresses in her review that the UK is an “unserious nation” because it “cannot control who comes in and out of its own national community, cannot keep dangerous foreign criminals off its streets and cannot keep you, the British people, safe ”

To illustrate his argument, Goodwin then highlights ten disturbing incidents that “reflect not only how powerless and weak we have become, but also the sheer idiocy, madness and tragedy that now regularly occurs on the streets of Britain.”

These include the case of Ahmed Ali Alid, a Moroccan asylum seeker who was refused asylum in Italy, Germany and Spain but was allowed to remain in the UK for three years while his application was processed. During this time, he was found guilty of murdering a 70-year-old pensioner on a morning walk.

Another example was the case of Azam Mangori, an Iraqi asylum seeker who was denied asylum in 2018 but was never deported. Two years after his refusal in 2020, he killed and dismembered Lorraine Cox, a 32-year-old woman who was walking home from a party in Exeter.

Goodwin similarly singled out Samiualak Akbari, an Afghan asylum seeker who arrived in 2016. A few days after being released from prison for the attack, Akbari walked into Tesco in south London to “find and kill the Englishmen” (prosecutor’s words).

Finding the two men, he tapped them on the shoulder and asked what their nationality was before attacking them with a ten-inch blade. He was later jailed for attempted murder for 21 years.

Other cases Goodwin highlighted included rape, acid attacks, kidnappings and beheadings., all of them were committed by people who, according to Goodwin, should not have been allowed into the country in the first place, but were granted asylum by the ECHR.

Many migrants fleeing persecution, including those crossing the English Channel in small boats, are using the ECHR to claim asylum in Britain, sparking a national debate over immigration.

The convention has dominated news headlines over the past year as Britain flirted with leaving it after blocking Sunak’s plans to deport migrants to Rwanda.

One of Starmer’s first acts was to abandon the Rwanda plan, shortly after which he declared: “We (Labour) will never leave the European Convention on Human Rights.”

In the following weeks Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage both called for a national referendum on whether to leave ECtHR.RObert Jenrick, one of the last two Tory leadership candidates, is in favor of leaving.

Polls on this issue paint a mixed picture. In November 2023, YouGov found that 51 per cent of people thought the UK should remain a member of the EU, 28 per cent supported leaving and 21 per cent were unsure.

A poll commissioned by the Telegraph in April 2024 confirmed this agreement: 52 percent favored remaining in the ECHR, while 27 percent were unaware and 21 percent wanted to leave.

He also revealed divisions along party lines. Among Conservative voters in 2019, 49 per cent wanted to leave. Conversely, among 2019 Labor voters, 71 percent wanted to remain.

A GB News poll asking: “Should we hold a referendum on our membership of the ECHR?” received a 97 percent positive response.
