Potential removal of EU nationals from the UK is not incompatible with the Human Rights Act

In an earlier post on this blog, Professor Conor Gearty of LSE argued that even post-Brexit the UK will not be able to remove European Union citizens from the UK unless the country withdraws also from the European Convention on Human Rights. Paul Skinner does not consider that this conclusion is correct. He argues, in essence, that the protection afforded by, in particular, Article 8 of the Convention is considerably weaker than Professor Gearty assumes.
