To think this is why Reform will win the next election “Epping hotel asylum seeker mistakenly released”

Police have launched a manhunt after a former asylum seeker who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl was mistakenly released from prison.
Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu, who arrived in the UK on a small boat, was jailed for 12 months over the attack in Epping, Essex, last month.

Can you say more on how ROI resolves the migrant issues they face by doing this

It wasn’t a mistake by government though. Incompetent prison staff yes.

Exactly - and they wouldn’t scurry off back there on holiday at the earliest opportunity. Remember all those waving UK and EU passports in Kabul when the Taliban 2.0 swept in? At least some of them will have been obtained because the recipients supposedly feared persecution on return.

My DH is from Iran. He has family in Tehran but won’t travel there because of the risk of abduction. If he wanted to live in a totalitarian Islamic dictatorship, he wouldn’t have come to the UK (as a highly skilled migrant, not on a small boat).

Suggesting that the boat arrivals are not young men, in the vast majority, is weapons-grade gaslighting.

No, because I don't know if ROI exercises Dublin III rights or not.

Reform will probably win, although I’m not sure they will have a working majority.

I don’t think the prison service failing will cause it, I just think the normal mainstream parties have failed us all on every level. 🤷‍♀️

What is the answer then ..who else do people vote for who are sick of conservative and in desperation with labour..green ?????

Why wouldn’t they it’s EU wide? Can you say any EU country that has resolved migration issues sending people back to country of first entry?

You realise that we're currently blessed with a Labour government with a large majority who got 33% of the vote in 2024, right?

Prison staff work for the government.

Leaving France for the UK does however strongly suggest that claims that they are in fear of their life might be a little.... exaggerated.

Because the Tories were useless, or didn't want to because they liked downward pressure on ordinary people's wages.

Why aren't Labour doing anything?

Missing the point.

Not at all. Thats what happens when you’re in power.

You have to take responsibility, of course - that's the nature of leadership. But while cock-ups like this are embarrassing, they aren't really the fault of the government.

How do you think Reform will stop prisoners escaping?

Aug 2024

Ireland applied to send more than 2,750 asylum applicants back to the EU country where they first arrived or sought international protection, but has been able to return only 31, the Department of Justice has said.

The department admitted the system for inter-country transfers was not “fit for purpose” and that what is known as the Dublin Regulation had significant problems and was ineffective.

In 2022 and 2023, Ireland continued to make a substantial number of “take back and take charge” requests, with 698 and 592 respectively. However, the number of actual returns carried out remained remarkably low, with just three in each year.

“In practice, and in keeping with the experience of all member states, the Dublin Regulation has not been effective. Across the EU, the rate of transfer compared to request remains low,”

I would love to know how this happened. Of all the prisoners to release. I am not generally given to conspiracy theories, but it smacks of it being not entirely accidental, the way it plays into the anti-immigration rhetoric. Most years there are a couple of dozen prison escapes, so for it to be this one seems too coincidental to me. And I doubt there would be nearly as widespread publicity about it if it weren't for the immigrant angle, if he was any other locally born rapist.

Following our last post, let's take a look at some government data on prisoners released in error.
The latest figures show that 262 prisoners in England and Wales were mistakenly released in the year leading up to March 2025, according to the prison service's annual digest.
That's a 128% increase compared to the 115 prisoners released in error in the year ending March 2024.

So if I cock up in my classroom it is the government’s fault?

Anyone but Reform Whoever is best tactically to keep them out, for me.

‘Zero personal income tax’…..im not sure what this means.

Zero income tax? Yeah right.

In all seriousness Reform will never form a government, they can’t even run a council properly.

The four-star hotel thing is hackneyed nonsense and a myth.

How many stars are the hotels that asylum seekers get to stay in for free?

As I have been saying for many years now. People still don't seem to understand that the situation in the middle East and Africa is pretty shit, and getting worse all the time. The numbers of people wanting / needing to leave will just increase. Putting our fingers in our areas and trying to pull the drawbridge up just will not work.
