The UK is not in Europe, which would otherwise impose human rights legal constraints on UK government legislation.

The UK is in Europe, it didn't suddenly break off and float away, it's just not part of the EU, there's a bunch of European countries that aren't in the EU

The UK is in Europe. What other continent would it be in?

It isn't in the EU, but it is a member of the Council of Europe, which is why it is still a party to European Declaration of Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights still hears appeals from the UK.

No international agreement can ever or has ever been capable of imposing legal constraints on the British Parliament because it is absolutely sovereign.

The UK is a signatory to the european convention on human rights (hell it wrote it), despite what Farage and the the Mail convinced you of in 2016 this was unrelated to the EU

You know perfectly well that the UK is in Europe. Not necessary part of the EU, but Europe as a continent, yes.
