DAVID Cameron must again be “physically ill” over the Voting For Prisoners, though he did expect to lose in Parliament last week.

With a growing public awareness that the EU is doing much more damage to Britain than what is gained from membership, Mr Cameron is walking a continual tightrope– to one side, the public in favour of withdrawal and the other, his own wish to remain a member of that intrusive, ever-meddling body in Brussels and retain his own puppet's power in Westminster.

He declared his revulsion over the EU’s demand that prisoners should get the vote but rather than say “No” and upsetting the coalition partnership (the Lib-Dems would surrender the lot to Brussels) he chose to abstain.

It will be interesting to watch Cameron’s antics if the EU mandarins respond to the rebuff to their orders, and when prisoners put in their claims to the European Court of Human Rights, which to date he has no intention of opposing.
