The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -
Originally posted by bogeyman View PostI wish it were so Zippy but the postal vote thing is really out of control in major cities. Many immigrant families register postal votes and all their papers are passed up from the head of the family, to the head of the community, etc. So it's a bloc vote essentially, dictated by ethnicity or religion.
Ken knows this. That's why he has assiduously courted (nay, bought) the votes of the immigrant communities in the inner-city areas of London.
However we vote and however we like or dislike the result it should not stop us getting out there and marking those boxes. Let's keep believing this is a democracy+50 Xeno Geek Points

Originally posted by snaw View PostSorry to burst your bubble but they're entitled to a vote, any way or means they want, like them or not. And politicians court voting blocs, that's what they do. If that annoys you, or comes as a surprise then please stop with the fliping lecturing on why I should vote and go do some research.
If you chose not to vote, then you are abnegating that hard-won right.
Couch it however you will, to chose not to vote when you can vote is a betrayal of the democratic process.
As I asked before, what else would you do to change the system?
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

You must support the democratic process by VOTING whenever you can.
Even if it means voting for the least of all evils, at least you have participated.
Do you not understand that?

It's an all too common attitude in the UK these days. "Don't care, Won't Care".
A passive and docile non-electorate. What a dream for our lords and masters!
