The Labour Government

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

The point is that Labour are doing the same things as the Tories do, the red Tories aren't up in arms about it though.

To be fair, there’s only 2 ways to not have early release. Send less people to prison or build more prison places. As I said, Starmer isn’t my cup of tea but I can’t hold him responsible for not building any more prisons, in the 2 months he’s been in charge.

Thats only the point for those that view everything through a party politics lens though.

For what I hope is still the majority, they’d see it as a necessity that’s shit which has been caused by years if not decades of shit decisions previously.

The point I am making is that Timpson said that his aim is to send less people to prison, but his boss is wanting to build more prisons anyway.

I'd like to know which one it is?

I stand corrected. Were they violent criminals who were released?

What was that interview on that you were talking about earlier, the guy that got released after 14 months? As that’s the really worrying one and the more I look, definitely contrary to what they’ve publicly said what the proposal is.

Given the state of the prison estate, it could conceivably be both.

I haven't seen it, was it an interview with a serious dangerous criminal?

Being the cynic I see Timpson having less prisoners but keep the ones he has in better comfort, which'll go down a treat considering the struggles people are having.

I think it’s probably this one

Gordon Gault's mum says 'no justice' as son's killer to be freed

One of the teenagers jailed for killing a 14-year-old is to be released due to prison overcrowding.

Can you post that in the Tory thread because some posters don't like talking about the Labour party in here:)

Easy to confuse the two, to be fair...

Imagine getting 2 and a half years for stabbing a child and then getting out early whilst facebook upsetters take your place?
