Alan Johnson makes a cunt of himself!
Alan Johnson's speech to Labour Party Conference
"Then I heard that Nick Clegg wants to give prisoners the vote and it suddenly made sense.
This isn't a crime policy - it's an election strategy!".
For 5 years whilst Alan Johnson was in power the Labour government ignored the European Court of Human Rights decision in Hirst v UK (No2), which stated that all convicted prisoners must have the vote. Labour may have not wanted to give prisoners the vote, but to do so would have been the right thing. Therefore, Alan Johnson's snide remark is unjustified. He should not only apologise but also hang his head in shame!
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.

Give the Prisoners the vote which I've always agreed with, and take the vote off the disabled , being disabled I think that voting means we are fit to work, so no more voting for me.....
