Bye bye, Britain

[gaelic cowboy]

The European Court of Human Rights - which is tied to the EU today - has told the British Government that it MUST give prisoners the vote.

Imposing restrictions on the franchise is core right of a sovereign government - taking that away from the UK Parliament is the definition of foreign rule.

this one came up before a few years back and I still think denying anyone who has reached the predetermined voting age is wrong.

bad enough your liberty is denied in prison but now ye wanna keep them from voting also to me thats dictatorship.

The Brits have always been better at spying for one thing. Not nearly so many embarrassments in that field. Then over the years there have been little things like Ultra, chobham armor, radar, sonar, just to name a few.

So it is not exactly a one way street, even if we think we came up with all that stuff.

Actually a quick wiki says they were just as useless at spying as anyone.

To many communists in there aristocracy apparently.





On the actual OP I think the EU referendum will be fought tooth and nail by the establishment.

All those british banks an other financial companies stand to lose billions if they leave.
