I doubt that the TV-licence dodgers are a "majority", though. But their sentence will be correspondingly short, so their exclusion from voting will be also. <br /><br />I do agree with you on the EAW, though.patentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602962323262055007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-71235477739053724782010-11-03T05:28:17.208+00:002010-11-03T05:28:17.208+00:00/applause

How many? Seriously, how many people are EVER imprisoned for non-payment of a TV license?JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-85414717141640526592010-11-02T20:06:38.882+00:002010-11-02T20:06:38.882+00:00Tom Harris is often quite sane.

Leaving aside the fact (imo) that voting changes nothing and is a demeaning and humiliating endorsement for the big State that's bleeding us dry, the majority of prisoners are inside for not paying fines, notably for TV license avoidance or some other non-crime which has harmed no-one. To my mind the European Arrest Warrant is the clearest reason to leave the EU; at least you have the chance of a fair trial in the UK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
