Well said Adam, I found out today that between March 2013 and March 2023 672 prisoners were released in error, I must have been out the day it was reported in the MSM.

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.
Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

Racism, nationalism and xenophobia enabled Brexit and were further emboldened by it. Arrogance, entitlement, meanness of spirit, laziness and greed all fuelled Brexit and propel racism and its cowardly twin nationalism. It’s like a sewer that has broken open and Farage bids us splash about in it.

Let’s be real: approximately ten seconds after you told Tolkien that Catholics couldn’t go to Mass because they were afraid of being disappeared by agents of the government, he’d be out there protesting.

“There are some people who hate London, and hate New York,” Mayor Sadiq Khan told me, on Bloomberg TV. “There's a reason why they demonize London, and now, indeed, New York. Why? Because we are progressive cities. We are liberal cities. We are multicultural cities. And we are incredibly successful.”
