Speaking from experience, the United Kingdom is a desperate place at the moment.
The hope and optimism after the election of a new Labour government on July 4 has quickly faded away. Just one month after the polls closed, the country has witnessed riots not seen on British streets for 13 years.
It’s sad, more than anything else. Few people watch the news to become so infuriated that they decide to take their anger out on a pastry shop. Instead, they are saddened that the actions of politicians and the mainstream media has fueled the fan of frustrations among vocal minorities on either side of the political spectrum.
Just days after his electoral victory, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans to release prisoners 40% of the way through their sentence (assuming, of course, they were eligible for parole). He deemed this to be a necessary step given “overcrowding” within the British prison system.
Yet, as the political elite have changed to a “tough on crime” stance to bring an end to the protests against mass immigration and migrant crime, prison spaces are suddenly becoming available.
On social media, Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood shared a Guadian article stating an extra 500 prison places would become available to accommodate convicted rioters.
The political approach of finding solutions only in times of exceptional – or selective demand is incredibly frustrating. It only raises questions as to why reducing minimum prison sentences, thus potentially releasing murderers, rapists, and pedophiles early, was initially prioritized over creating additional prison spaces.
Of course, threats from politicians can only infuriate further. It’s a dangerous route…
…one which some will deem Orwellian.
fools walk into their own murder. fools voted for their own murder. wish you had a say in your murders? fools.
Note ALL the top positions in their Brit Gov are now under the control of Non White Foreigners who are now going after the native white population. The fall of Britain into a multicultural dystopian hot mess is complete !!!!!!!!!!!!
f*** woke. its tardylib communist prop.
England for last 50 years hasn’t been a great place to live with their liberties being ground down, and now it’s only gotten worse.
With only 500 cells it should be a great catch and release program with little to nothing accomplished other than a coordinated theft of assets.
It’s a “New World Order” growing roots wherever a free, Capitalist society of people are being intentionally overrun by illegal aliens.
They are whipping out those who created free societies where people worked for a living under taxation to create a society of “GOOD” people. It’s complicated, but simple. They are “Evil” & we are “Good”.
Is it “Right Wing” to want your country back?
