I did have a bed to go to.......but here we are again.......another day in paradise.

Whether or not the ECOHR was set up before we joined the EU and whether or not we were the ( or one of the ) founding members of that creation, it has morphed ( just like the EU ) into something akin to the EU's mouthpiece.  It now adds to the problems, the EU has, to control immigration, by hearing every lame excuse of a claim; as to why somebody can't be sent back to their country of origin and there IS, no doubt, an excuse......otherwise they wouldn't have left in the first place.  If leaving the EU, would not effect our being part of the ECOHR; it would at least allow us the freedom to try to reform it, or get it back on track ( or withdraw from all or part of it )......so it doesn't make controlling immigration ten times more difficult than it is already.  One thing's for sure, the EU has a tight death grip on all it's members and nobody can do anything; without the agreement of all 28 member states...........and anybody who thinks our lifestyle and needs have anything in common with the likes of Romania, Hungary, Latvia,Lithuania,Slovakia,Slovenia etc. etc. needs their brains tested........so there's 6 countries for a start, that are highly unlikely to vote for, or agree with, anything we might want to do.

and guess who makes EU law.........the EU.......and guess what that requires......yep, ratification by all 28 member states. So I really can't see why Romanians would ratify an immigration policy, non beneficial to the UK ( schengen agreement or not ), when they are leaving their own country in droves to come here ( as well as France, Germany, etc. etc. ). They're also unlikely to vote to curb any immigration by non EU countries, like Africa, Afghanistan, etc. etc. because they're probably hoping some will go to their country to replace all the indigenous population that left.......to head west. After all, life in Romania would still be better than life in Africa wouldn't it........but we know it doesn't work like that; does it !!.  Why settle for Romania, when you can keep going straight to Eldorado.
