    The Labour Government

    Where's the connection between extending the Tories' early release scheme and a spike in wrong releases? Unless it's all people who were due for early release being released a bit earlier, in which case it doesn't matter that much.

    Last Film You Saw

    Bugonia. Yorgos Lanthimos at his twisted best with a famous CEO (Emma Stone) kidnapped by incel Teddy (Jesse Plemons) who's convinced himself that she's an alien. If you like Lanthimos (Dogtooth, The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer, Poor Things) this should be on your list (maybe not if you...

    Last Film You Saw

    Longer review coming for the politics thread but "Palestine 36" is a stunning portrayal of the Arab Revolt against the British mandate in Palestine (as Zionist settlers "acquire" land with British support).

    Palestine Action

    Why in the "Palestine action" thread? And why just expose your ignorance by asking a question so devoid of any sense of history? Just read a bit.

    Is train travel in the UK expensive? Or am I missing something? Serious question

    It doesn't seem too bad. It found a fare I'd not seen before: Piccadilly to Euston return for £45, any train leaving between 1030 and 1600 or after 1900 (both ways) - Transport for Wales train to Crewe then LNWR to Euston. Slow but cheap. But there's a same price ticket but using only Northern...

    Is train travel in the UK expensive? Or am I missing something? Serious question

    Sorry I'm late to the thread.... Start with a good fare splitting site - like Trainsplit, preferably the "old look" site: https://classic.trainsplit.com/ When you say "change here..." might that mean you don't change trains but just have different leg tickets on the same train? One worry is...

    The Labour Government

    Well, certainly because of who was mistakenly released... But the key question is why there's been a recent big increase - and so far as I can tell, no-one's come up with a reason why anything done under or by the present government might have caused the spike.

    The Labour Government

    I didn't really say they said it had never happened before. But then Lammy didn't really mislead anyone by not answering the question. You're just prolonging the false outrage.

    The Labour Government

    So he answers, "No of course I cannot offer such an assurance that it could never happen again but that's why we've initiated a review into why it happened, so that we can make the processes more robust. You had 14 years to do that, and didn't". Cartlidge now either has to persist with a...

    The Labour Government

    It's addressed to the Tories / Reformers who attacked Lammy for doing it as if it had never happened before. You can't even say Lammy was deliberately misleading Parliament (qv Johnson) - frankly only an idiot would think Lammy's refusal to answer the question implied that he was saying it could...

    It's another Tory-era situation that only came to light (aka gets in the Tory press) once Labour was in power. https://www.legit.ng/nigeria/1636177-how-nigerians-recruited-uk-prison-officers-sleep-cars-and-camp-jails/
