Bridget Prentice MP misleads Parliament
Bridget Prentice, Labour, Member of Parliament for Lewisham East and the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice, has misled Parliament with this answer. The Governance of Britain Green Paper and the Goldsmith Review have nothing whatsoever to do with convicted prisoners human right to vote. Whatever shake up is going on elsewhere is totally irrelevant to the ECtHR decision in Hirst v UK (No2).
Failing Bridget Prentice clarifying her answer to show the relevance of the Prisoners Votes Case to the Governance of Britain Green Paper and the Goldsmith Review, she should do the honourable thing and resign.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
John, when did any MP do the honourable thing?
