Remembering Sir Patrick Stewart

We were sad to hear of the death of Sir Patrick Stewart.

 In 2016, when there were calls for Britain to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, he starred in a short sketch for the Guardian, “What has the ECHR ever done for us?”. 

With humour and warmth, it showed how much the Convention protects all of us in everyday life. Ten years on, his message matters as much as ever. The rights the Convention protects are something we can never take for granted. We share it again in his memory.
