cruxman2001 - "but I'd like to vote locally...I pay taxes"

Why should paying taxes entitle you to vote? You pay taxes to pay for services, not citizenship. If you want to vote, commit to the country.

I hope we see the promised changes but I remain sceptical. Just dont know…

Thats true but not for long though eh?

Your point was one of objectivity not revenge. Which is why most legal systems in the free world dont practice state sponsored killing. The Scots system took an objective view and acted on its own rules. It might seem unjust to you…
