'Almost 600 criminals trying to make money out of the voting ban on prisoners were slapped down by a High Court judge yesterday.They had sought £5,000 each compensation for being unable to vote at the last election. Instead, Mr Justice Langstaff ordered them to PAY £76 each towards the costs of their action. In a decision hailed as a rare legal victory for common sense, he ruled that European judgments should never be allowed to trump laws passed at Westminster.'
In my experience, this is the very first evidence of a fightback from 'the usual quislings' in Parliament and the Courts since Thatcher's day. As marvellous as it is remarkable. It is almost impossible to grasp the possible ramifications. The EU mafia will be going apoplectic. (Good.)
However - this cannot be. Our membership of the EU is dependent on our being part of the ECHR. This decision cannot stand: will not be allowed to stand. At the very least, it will be watered down in some way.
Our politicians lack the moral fibre to allow this 'horse and cart' to go unchecked.
DO remember that around 95% of MPs are fully sold out to the 'European ideal'.
