"Voting doesn't empower *us*, it gives *them* a
blank cheque."
"It is immaterial who you vote for; they are all
corrupt to the core. So why put dictators and criminals into power, who will
only look after their cronies / friends?"
The two quotes above are
from Suzon Forscey-Moore's Internet messages - as are the following
three:
"But remember, Britain is much worse than America. I should
know, having been framed-up by the Inland Revenue and robbed of my home and
possessions by corrupt High Court ‘Judges’. Tony Blair (and ‘Lord’ Falconer) is
fully aware of the crimes committed against me, but he is more interested in
selling peerages to his cronies."
"You cannot find a Solicitor
(Lawyer) in the UK that will take a case against a government body. I have tried
over a thousand firms of Solicitors in the UK to take on my ready-made
case."
"Not voting or, better yet, spoiling your ballot paper by
writing 'none of the above' is the most powerful message you can
send."
Though Ms Forscey-Moore appears to be based in the UK,
and her main grievance seems to be with the "Blair Government", the contents of
the web site she is at present using (address provided further down) suggests
that her very interesting and entirely peaceful form of protest could - with the
right amount of support from individual voters - be used very effectively in a
great many countries other than the UK (including the Republic of
Ireland).
Many more quotations of the kind provided above, growing
in number and from a widening selection of people, can now be found
