Or imprisonment without trial

Or did you mean that we don't have a history of human rights abuse of white middle class professional men ?
This story is being whipped up by the press and right-wing Tories trying to oust Cameron.
The ruling just says that *some* prisoners should have the right to vote - the Government could easily restrict it to anyone incarcerated for less than a year and it'd be "job done"
In fact it looks like they'll be doing something very similar to that from the use of the word "limited"
I seem to recall I predicted this at the time
This is nothing about prisoners it's all about the struggle for power in the Tory party - much like that poll Ashcroft published
