Once again we prepare to kowtow to the faceless bureaucrats, of the EU & The European Court of Human Rights, who dictate to us how we should behave. Slowly but surely our national identity and our nations right to self-determination is being eroded.
The criminals that inhabit our prisons carried out crimes on British soil so it should be British courts and the British Government that decide their punishment.
Equally, it should be up to us the British people, through our duly elected representatives that decide if these criminals can have the vote.
My view is that they jettisoned their rights when they broke the law. By breaking the law they effectively stuck a finger up at normal decent law-abiding folk. So they don’t have the right to vote.
Given all the other problems that this country has, I do not believe that we should be wasting time and funds debating this.
Its time for Ken Clarke to stand up and tell the EU to butt out
Prisoners will get the vote, Kenneth Clarke says – Telegraph.
