Prisoners to get the vote as spineless Cameron kowtows to Europe's demands

[Chippiewill]

on the contrary the may look forward to it if they have nothing else to do, it MAY provoke a talking point amongst them.

We shouldn't completely isolate prisoners from society , I doubt there's much to talk about in prison (Unless they get the newspaper?)

I believe they get newspapers on some days and can have radios/tvs so they aren't completely isolated. To be honest, the more i think about it the more i realise this is a very petty issue. In the long run it's not going to make much of a difference to our world whether prisoners can vote or not.

Well i'd agree with you in that murderers shouldn't be allowed to live if they kill, but did you ever see that movie called "The life of David (second name)"?

The movie showed how it can never be totaly proven in many cases that a person killed somebody, (remember the birmingham 6?). Many times innocent people have been sent to prison or executed for crimes they didn't commit.

So i agree with an eye for an eye but only if its 100% certain that justice is being served

Yes. We live in a world of ever growing danger. We should rid those who pose a threat.


And yes I agree that it needs to be 100% certain before someone is executed (Derek bently was executed under false charge of murdering a policeman).

I don't like this idea but I'll deal with it when I have taken over the world.

Why should we reduce ourselves to the same level as a convicted murderer? Makes no sense. We wrongly or rightly stick our nose up at countries who actively participate in execution.

George Orwell lend us your thought police ( or whatever they were called). Sigh... if only our world was perfect we'd know when to rightfully convict somebody. Actualy if our world was perfect we'd have no crime. Alas....

I think George Orwell would turn in his grave if he knew you, somebody who believes we should use the death penalty, is using any of his genius.

[Eoin247]

I'm getting a feeling that you dont believe in using the death penalty at all?

Do you not think a person who has been proven 100% to have taken a life intentionally, should themselves have that privelage taken away from them?
