The UK and its national disgrace
It is a national disgrace that the UK has breached convicted prisoners human right to the vote. It is a national disgrace that the UK has failed to honour its international obligations. It is a national disgrace that the UK has failed to provide an effective remedy by a national authority, under Article 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights, for those convicted prisoners who were denied their human right to vote. It is a national disgrace that MR JUSTICE LANGSTAFF struck out the applications in ANTHONY TOVEY, PAUL HYDES and Others - and - MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, and then charged 583 convicted prisoners £76 each for denying them the human right to vote and to meet the State's cost of £44,688 for denying them their human right to vote. It is a national disgrace that in the UK the Executive, Parliament and Judiciary (the 3 arms of the State) are all corrupt. It is a national disgrace that in the UK human rights, democracy and rule of law have been replaced by a dictatorship in a totalitarian or authoritarian regime.
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.
Hear hear!!

ReplyDeleteWe live under a tyranny. It is a shame that the people are blind to what is happening under their noses.
That's the law. As the judge said, not only English case law but statute and European law.
