The ECHR is not an EU court, it's a Council of Europe court, different organisation.

Edit: To make things more confusing, the EU is in negotiations about joining the Council of Europe.

I tok great pleasure in making my Brexiter dad look a tit by asking what he disliked about the EU. "Well I'm sick of their human rights court telling us what to do! So I'm voting we leave the EU!"

Me: "But we'd still be covered by the ECHR. Are you thinking of the ECJ?"

I don't speak to him anymore cos he's a cunt*.

*Not politics - he's just a cunt who doesn't approve of my 'lifestyle choices' (childless, gay and mentally ill).
