Lags plan to halt election
"JAILBIRDS are launching legal action to stop Gordon Brown holding a General Election next year - unless he gives THEM the vote.
Lags may apply for an injunction halting the poll.
The Association of Prisoners is also pressing for a judicial review over the Government's failure to implement a 2005 decision by the European Court of Human Rights.
It ruled Britain's 80,000 prisoners should get the vote as a basic human right - but ministers still say they are consulting".
(The People, 8 March 2009, p.21).
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.
He might welcome that move, it would give him a bit longer in power!
