Court of 'uman rights' again, prisoners and voting

I really, really cannot understand why the ECHR are doing this again  Banghead Banghead Banghead

Commit the crime, do the time = disenfranchised and relinquish your voting rights... OK!  noooo:

Far too much in the way of vested interests. At the very least he has to get rid of Septic Clegg first, and that's assuming he won't put his own requirements first.  cussing:

From the tone of last night's news, it appears that 'Call Me Dave' has finally 'manned up' and grown a pair, in so far as, he's thinking of telling the ECHR to 'do one!'

End of the day, what can they do? Apparently, they can write the UK a 'stiff letter' - which we can promptly ignore!

Go on Davey boy - you know you want to!

(Mind you, I won't be holding me breath like!)

Exactly why the breath I will not be holding!

A bit like all those manifest promises they made - stuff like referendum on the EU and things - all of which never saw the light of day once the polls had closed. And don't blame the fact that it,s a coalition - they'd have vanished just as quickly (probably more quickly) if he'd had a thumping majority!

Mind you, that's really what he needs isn't it? A thumping . . . .
