In all the fields of inflated hot air that parliament revels in, the debate on giving prisoners a vote is a doozy. Lots of harrumphing and gallumphing galore. Would that they got so hot and bothered about sorting out the criminality in their own ranks.
Perhaps some of them are secretly concerned that if they were to attend jail ‘canvassing’ they may not be let out.
The fact that the so called revolt was lead by the egregious Straw (among others) fair takes the breath away. This is the man who denied the Chagos Islanders a fair hearing and used Parliamentary skullduggery to keep their grievances hidden. Clearly a model of democracy in action.
