Self-interest to the last, or what!

Congrats to Andrew Pierce of the Daily Disaster for revealing that the last question asked in the House of Lords by the newly gaoled Lord Taylor was: “What plans has the government to give prisoners the vote?” No doubt he was hoping to extend the voting privilege to gaoled MPs and Lords to allow them to contribute to democracy and to continue to be eligible to claim a virtual attendance allowance even though banged up at Her Majesty’s Displeasure.
