I haven't read the Telegraph article, for obvious reasons, but apparently the opinion in question dates back to 1987. And while I'm no expert on the ECHR, I have been required to deal with ECHR arguments in the course of my professional practice, and I'd say it's obviously complete bollocks. To use the technical legal terminology.
