This would be in line with the EU I think.
Would that be 5 years sentenced or 5 years actual time inside?
To do 5 years inside you'd have to have been sentenced to 10 or more, these days.

Bollocks.
It's about eligibility for parole, it's not automatic 50% off prison time. Newspapers lie to you.

I thought I'd google this to see what the average difference between sentenced and served was.
I got distracted by the fact that one of the first results is people asking 'What is the difference between consecutive and concurrent sentencing'.

Fuck me. THOSE are the people that shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Are you suggesting some sort of intelligence test
that has to be passed before you're allowed to vote?
Wonder how many MPs would pass...

No, not really I'm not.
As tempting as the idea is sometimes, I don't actually believe in it.
