I'm sure you're right Dave, but it's hardly fair to deprive ordinary, well-intentioned non-British born citizens of their right to vote, because of this. The innocent suffering because of the guilty has become way too prevalent in this country (raising booze prices is just one example) and this, to me, seems yet another example of this syndrome.
