British Supreme Court Upholds Denial of the Franchise to Two Prisoners Serving Life Sentences — No Comments

  1. NO written constitution in the 1066 DARK AGE UK regime.

    NO body has ANY *certain* rights — always a chance for acts of attainer, chopping heads, etc.

    Keep thanking Heaven that the USA got the Hell OUT of the Brit Empire the very hard way in 1775-1783.

  2. I should point out that when a criminal is released from prison – having ‘paid his/her debt to society’ – then they regain their right to vote in the UK. That includes the majority of ‘lifers’ who on average serve between 10-15 years. We do have the equivalent of ‘life without parole’ which at present applies to only about 50 individuals – serial killers, child murderers, etc.

    So no written constitution but also no judicial murder/capital punishment, no life disenfranchisement of ex-felons, no party-rigged legislative boundaries, etc, etc.

    Oh, also no government shut-down…

  3. How little remains of Trial by Jury in the UK regime –

    i.e. how many appointed robot party hack judges are enforcing the Brit control freak laws ???

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V. — even for the UK — along with a written constitution.
