A prisoners life?
April 10, 2009 1 Comment
I have already had my two-penneth on the subject of prisoners votes. I am happy to go on record and state that I really don’t support the idea of inmates being allowed to vote. They are in prison for a reason, and why should they have the same rights as people who have not broken the law.
I have also written about my personal grumble about having to pay 90% council tax on an empty property I am trying to sell. Apparently its allowed to be charged as services still have to be delivered to the property. How interesting that I learn that if you get sent to jail apparently you DO NOT have to continue to pay council tax.
Just so I understand this. I have a second property which isn’t used and I pay 90% council tax. If I own just one property and get sent to jail I wouldn’t pay any council tax, and hey, I’ll soon be able to vote. Tough on crime tough on the causes of crime? Oh yeah!
That kinda takes the biscuit, does it not. I am really hoping for an early Gen. Electn.
