MPs sell out the good, decent people for the criminal scum. Again.

Prison reform campaigners welcomed ministers' partial concession yesterday to allow some prisoners the right to vote before next year's local elections.

Amid reports that Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is examining which criminals should be allowed the right to vote, No 10 said it would be "unfortunate" if a blanket ban was lifted entirely.
But the Prime Minister's spokesman stressed the government would have to take into account a number of ongoing court cases on the issue as it examines a way forward.
European judges have previously ruled that Britain's outright ban on prisoner voting is unlawful under human rights laws, and the previous Labour government launched a consultation on the matter but failed to change the law.
Mr Clegg is reportedly looking at which prisoners might be allowed to cast a ballot to head off a collision with the Council of Europe which has given Britain three months to comply.
Asked if the Prime Minister felt there was a "moral imperative" to change the current situation his official spokesman said: "He would think that a lot of people in the country would find this difficult to understand, but we will have to take into account what the courts say."
Prison Reform Trust director Juliet Lyon said it was time to "overturn the outdated and counterproductive ban" on prisoners voting.
"Foot-dragging will no longer be tolerated by the Council of Europe," she noted.
"People in prison, with the exception of those proportionately punished for electoral fraud, must be enfranchised in time for the elections in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the local elections in 2011."
The issue threatens to further expose tensions within the coalition - the Tories have previously argued that the ban should remain in place while the Lib-Dems have argued for change.

MPs make concessions on lifting prison vote ban / Britain / Home - Morning Star

So rapists, child killers, human traffickers, drug barons, rapists, pedophiles, murderers and the generally depraved are to be handed the vote.

The government is beyond contempt.

F*** off back to Africa if at any time you are unhappy here, don't feel you need to stay.

Cheeky bitch comes to Britain from a third world shithole, get all the aid and assistance she had no REAL entitlement to have – as she was not born here – and has been lathered with welfare benefits, housing and any assistance she demands, and her gratitude is non existent.

The third class white people, the stupid, self hating, gullible liberal people, who are destroying themselves through their subsidy of southern hemisphere savages, haven't done enough for her.

No matter what has been done, she screams for more.

Here's a hint, Ms. Strike, they don't like you because you're an immigrant, not because you're disabled. They are too gutless to tell you, but the average white man and woman – deep down – are sick to death of you and your people from Africa, from the third world.

They are sick of being told they are haters, bigoted, and discriminatory: after all Anne, they hate you and your fellow Africans so much they they force all the bounty of social housing and welfare on you, and if you choose to work they will destroy the future of a white man or woman to fill the quota of poorly educated, inept, badly socialised, pushy and aggressive immigrants that are essential for all successful economies.

The door is always open for you to leave Anne. Don't let it hit you on the arse when you go, will you?

Independent (UK) 5^th September 2010

Discrimination against disabled people is rife in the UK, according to new research. At worst, disabled people are subjected to abuse and violence. At best, even the most well-intentioned people can ignore or patronise them.

Anne Strike knows all about this. She bridles as she recounts how a well-meaning lady patted her – a 41-year-old award-winning Olympic athlete – on the head, as though she were a child. "I was shopping with my son and he was calling for me, and a woman in her fifties walked over and patted me on the head, saying, 'Is that your son? Oh, you must be very brave.' I couldn't believe it – it was so patronising."

...

(b) When Strike moved to the UK from Kenya 10 years ago, she thought it would mark the end of a lifetime of prejudice. A bout of polio when she was two left her paralysed from the waist down, and many in her village believed her condition was a curse or a punishment from God. After using steel crutches and callipers, she arrived Britain hoping to get her first wheelchair, and equal treatment. "In Kenya they called me a cripple all the time. I haven't heard that since coming here, but people still treat you differently. Sometimes it's the way they look at you when they give you change in the shop, or speak to you as if you're hard of hearing."

Strike married her British partner, Norman, and settled in the UK. She is now a Paralympian wheelchair racer for Britain. In 2004 she became the first East African woman to compete in the Paralympics. While in some ways her story is extraordinary, her experience of casual prejudice is typical of that experienced by millions of disabled people every day in Britain.

For men and women such as Strike, the barriers are not so much ones of physical access, but mental. She says: "These are prejudices that are just so subtle, but they're there. I was once getting searched at an airport and someone said, 'Oh my God, I've never seen such a glamorous woman in a wheelchair before.' It's as if you shouldn't know about fashion or normal life. I want people to see beyond the chair."

Execute the dealers, punish criminal junkies.

Only the worst kind of white, self hating liberal would disagree with this.

The drug dealing and usage is a moral and social hazard. Punishment of drug dealing by the death penalty, and restraint and containment of junkies until they are clean.

Governments coniders stopping junkies welfare payments.

People dependent on drugs and alcohol who refuse treatment could have their welfare benefits withdrawn under plans being considered by the Home Office.

The idea is in a consultation paper on the government's drug strategy for England, Wales and Scotland.

The proposals also suggest that addicts on benefits should not be required to seek work while receiving treatment.

Some experts have suggested that withdrawing benefits could lead addicts into crime and prostitution.

The Labour government intended to carry out pilot schemes this year to get drug users into work.

Under the plans, addicts who failed to attend a treatment awareness programme would lose welfare benefits.
