I was thinking about this earlier. Prisoners getting the vote.
Prisoners are to get the right to vote as the government is poised to throw in the towel in a long-running legal tussle with the European court of human rights, it emerged today.
It is understood that the coalition is to confirm that it is ready to change the law to remove the voting ban on more than 70,000 inmates of British jails.
You know what I say?
Fuck ’em.
If someone doesn’t play by the rules why should they get to say what the rules are?
If it’s all about human rights, how about bringing to an end overcrowding? That’ll do more for the prisoners than the chuffing vote.
