Question Time for Eric Pickles
'Ere Eric, I've got one for you...
Dies he believe in democracy, rule of law and human rights?
He may try to limit the latter with certain derogations.
However, the Council of Europe has said in this case it is not negotiable. Not only have they said jump, they have said how high. Given that a Kenya court ruled prisoners should get the vote on 23 June, and the electoral commission announced on 26 June that it was registering prisoners for the vote. After 5 years, isn't it time that the UK jumped to it?
Will he now apologize for thinking and, in effect, saying that convicted prisoers are less than human and not deserving of a fundamental human right?
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.
