Rant 298 24/10/12 Subject: The Belgians wanting to give votes to prisoners

Rant number 298

Today on the radio something happened that really surprised me. Something was reported upon that I genuinely never thought would happen was reported upon.

I'm genuinely taken aback. Gobsmacked. Flabbergasted.

Me and David Cameron are in complete and utter agreement about something.

Fuck a duck - I never thought I'd be saying that.

Now don't get me wrong, he's still an out of touch, elitist, self serving, pure evil, weasley upper class asshole - but he's right about something for a change.

And the subject of contention? I hear you cry?

Prisoners and the vote.

As things are at the moment, prisoners in jail don't get to vote - which strikes me as fair. People who are in jail have wronged others and - as an extension society. When you are inside also - a lot of what goes on outside isn't really your business.

The Europian Union says this is unfair and that it affects the human rights of the prisoners. I say that the Europian Union are a set of idiotic Belgiums who can fuck off.

Now - I'm sure David Cameron doesn't want prisoners to vote for different reasons to me. He sees the prisoners as the working classes - who are more likely to be Labour followers than 'his sort.' None the less - he's completely right in this case.

If you want to be part of society - don't wrong it - and Brussels: stick to making chocolate and beer.

Rant over.
