It's a con! - Vote Labour!

Convicts are to be given the vote, or they will if this New Labour shower get their way. Not content with fiddling the crime statistics, letting rapists go free, and generally cocking the whole penal system up, they are now cosying up to the cons in the vain hope that these miscreants will turn out in their droves to vote Labour.

I would never vote Labour even if I was in dire need. They used to be all suspect with their Red Flag singing, nationalisation fever, and their general sense of envy laced with the odd spasms of hatred and malice. It was the Class War! Then they got all priggish and turned into some Pink version of the red variety. A bit like choosing cans of salmon in the supermarket.

Ministers imply they have been forced to lift the traditional ban on inmates voting to comply with a European court ruling. Why on earth? On this occasion why don't they just ignore it. It is utterly preposterous that a foreign court can carry on like this.

Along with the cons, it will be those European Court judges lining up to vote. We'll get regime change not because we voted for it but because a whole phalanx of petty crooks, drug smugglers and legal eagles have swamped the ballot stations!

Are we mad?
