What else has Tony Blair done so as to further silence U.K. expatriates, be they pensioners or not. He has reduced their right to vote as an 'Overseas' voter by a further 5 years. This has meant that albeit, as a U.K. citizen with a European passport, many will now have no right to vote in Central Government anywhere within the E U. As such E U. Citizens will therefore, have no proper democratic voice over their destiny.
Again we return to his compulsive lying. This government under, Tony Blair has constantly lied and lied over the truth of figures it has presented to us. The State of the Health Service is a good example, as we now know that the hospital waiting lists for surgery were falsified, crime figures have been consistently falsified. He employed so-called 'Spin doctors' for this purpose - to deceive the electorate.
