A fair few do get their ticket home.

 

Every single foreigner offender should get a ticket home.

 

We have enough offenders of our own, without catering to offenders from the rest of the World.

The ECHR is not an EU institution. It's an institution of the 'old' Council of Europe. If I remember well, its creation has been trigged by Churchill.

My apologies. I did not read deep enough into it. My bad.

What is the European Court of Human Rights?

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) enforces the ECHR – in other words, it makes sure that the rights given by the Convention are protected in practice.

Until the Human Rights Act was passed in 1998, the only way that people in the UK could enforce their rights was to take a case against the Government to the ECtHR in Strasbourg.

It was drafted in response to the large displacement of people following ww2 and stipulates "first safe coiuntry" It was unfortunately not anticipated that it would be abused by country shopping economic migrants from way beyond Europe. It is no longer fit for purpose.
