It is like everything with Brexit; it is very complicated and unpredictable. People do not know the consequences of it. If Brexit happens, as sure as night follows day, there will be quick attempts to remove the United Kingdom from the Council of Europe and to shake off the European Convention on Human Rights. Most of the criticism of the institutions made by certain sections of the British media was about the European Court of Human Rights, which is being confused with the Court of Justice.
