Surprised that we haven't had your view on this yet, JK?

Just Voting ?

If all prisoners: remand, sentenced, appellant, or longterm-lags, can access the full legalities of a supposed 'Just Democracy', then why not the most legally democratic of all - Voting ?

Or, maybe backward Raving-right/Wrong-uns like ITK would CONdemn Modern Brit-prisoners to Victorian "Bread & Water, Bible, Bare-Floor Beds."

Making them feel even more alienated, angry, vengeful and wanting to put more nails in society's coffin.

Quote Raving-right/Wrong-un Thatcher, "Society ? No such thing !"

They never learn do they ?

DOH !




just old

To me it is obvious that prisoners must vote. The government is breaking the law not to allow it. What's next? Bans via colour of skin? Sexual preferences? Gender?

But since I've decided never to vote again, as democracy doesn't work, it's trivial to me.

Who are least able to govern society? The general public. So why let us uninformed, brain dead morons pick those who rule?

Don't Vote JK ?

Then don't complain !

Anyhow, any half-brained Brit knows that true Lefty Livingston was er, 'right', when he said, paraphrased, " If voting REALLY changed anything the REAL powers,(bent-media), would campaign to ban it !"

So, what SHOULD be made Brit-illegal is what some modern-EU states enforce, where it's a crime NOT to Vote !

The first point is correct.

But your second - your decision - is a bad one.

'Good men doing nothing - a recipe for anarchy'......an awful misquote of a famous bloke.

prisoner voting..or the lack of it..is one of those nice diversions with which they can keep the mass of proles fuming about (plus TVs in cells) while they do other insane things.

why anyone would possibly care that prisoners may vote is bizarre.

Should we not care about any of their rights (or lack of them) then?
