Hello and welcome to the podcast of Lotus Eaters Episode 1,285.

I'm your host, Harry, joined today by regular guest Firas, and this man we found on the street outside.

He was wearing a suit, so we thought, why not?

If you could give me some spare change, very nice.

I think his name is Joe, Joseph.

That's about right, yeah.

Close enough. Here he is, and today we're going to be talking about leaving the ECHR, how that would work practically.

video. So even if you don't have access to the premium content on the website

through a subscription, you will be able to watch this discussion. I've put a lot of work into it.

Samson's put a lot of work into it, so I hope you all enjoy it. And with that, let's get on with
