The immigration related clown show continues

[WildLimePoet]

So now an Algerian national who was released by mistake last week is at large. As if the previous debacle with the Epping forest sex offender wasn’t bad enough.

The fact that we are hearing about this again and again tells us that,
This happens all the time
Foreign national offenders are over represented in crime statistics
Immigration is out of control
People working in Home office, prison service and and every other government department are incompetent and beyond useless.

And these people have the audacity to tell us that they want more of the public’s money in taxes.

At this point, this government (and the previous one) is laughing at us. They are taking the piss out of us. This country is broken and Labour and Tories need to be voted so far into oblivion and out of power that they never get anywhere power, ever again.

Except you're wrong:

UK Prison Statistics Reveal Surprising Imbalance: Foreign Nationals Underrepresented in England and Wales Jails [Source - Britbrief.co.uk]

You don't think high levels of immigration has an impact? We have thousands of foreign nationals being housed in an already overcrowded prison estate.
This man has committed previous sexual offenses and shouldn't even be in the UK. We shouldn't be at risk from this person. Of course its newsworthy.

There’s high disapproval ratings for Starmer and polling for Labour that drops each week so it’s easy to discern.

I think the prison service is yet another public service that is on its knees because of lack of investment and not enough staff so it is no surprise that everything is falling apart and that mistakes are being made.

Polls just show that much of the electorate has a zero attention span and demands instant gratification like a toddler. In this behaviour they are ably abetted by the press. These demands started pretty much on day 1...

Of course it would help if the government made more noise about the good things they have put in place to date.

Shouldn’t you be outside some hotel with your Chinese made flag scaring innocent people?
Bored of people like you.

Agreed, except the demands and negativity from some people, including posters on here, started even before the general election.

Not everyone is going to like Labour as you do. That’s life.

Bound to be. Some people wouldn't have it any other way. 🙄

Don’t do that. Facts and stats hurt their brains because they can’t massage them into their narrative.

Interestingly while the Tories were in power they averaged 17 wrongful releases every month.

I can't find any information on if they were immigrants or not, but I would suggest their immigration status is immaterial.

But of course the people promoting their anti Labour initiative, which they began long before the election, probably neither noticed nor cared when that was happening.

Dude go and touch some grass. Utterly ridiculous. The fumes from painting roundabouts have gone to your head.

Well done OP. You've made a few sweeping statements and then blamed the entire civil service for the country's ills. Many civil servants are MN contributors, and all of them work in increasingly pressured and underfunded departments. Your post is generalised ill-informed rubbish.

@ilovesootywhy do you need everyone to back your party? You’re in the minority backing them now. If you want Labour only maybe a Labour only site rather than a public one would do that for you.

I expect the OP wants Reform to take a hatchet to the Civil Service. Perhaps she'll tell us more about Reform's justice policy. Or perhaps not.

I suspect that they would prefer their attacker wasn't subsequently granted asylum. Currently crimes with sentences of less than a year in prison are overlooked for asylum decisions. Our Government considers that men with convictions for indecent exposure for example are a welcome addition to our society.

Exactly. A load of waffle with no form of logic

agreed. I have been thinking this for weeks, months

I have no problem with a rational balanced plan for immigration, there are problems

but the problems are so overblown. I genuinely don’t understand why people believe all problems are caused by it

all sense of proportion has been lost, blown apart by hate and misinformation

It's not just to do with immigration- honest.

It's scary isn't it. How much some people want to hate.
I don't necessarily believe in completely open borders.
I don't care more about immigrants more than homeless (white) veterans.
I don't think all immigrants should be given a brand new house with a home gym, big flat screen tv and a huge wad of cash while (white) British citizens starve. (I know this doesn't actually happen incase it's not obvious.)
I don't hate asylum seekers though, I'm balanced enough to see what is going on here.
The rich continues to get richer whilst blaming the most vulnerable in society for their mess and there's enough hate and prejudice in built in people to believe it.
Yes, I know some of those vulnerable people will be criminals, sex offenders etc. No I don't like having sex offenders of any background in the UK. I don't think anyone does.

Aye, people voting for tax cuts are definitely going to vote for parties explaining tax rises are necessary to fund good public services 🤔

If someone has committed a crime it should be straight on a plane and deported. The other guys who was accidentally released was apparently given £500 to not try to appeal because once he does we are stuck with him for years. The reality is it appears to be difficult to get rid of people. A visa overstayer should have been escorted directly to the airport.

This was true under the conservatives as well. I remember those idiots that managed to prevent the deportation of a bunch of sex offenders on their plane. Oh and the labour Mp’s objecting the deportation of criminals too.

It’s actual insanity.

I find it really easy to not commit crimes, I regularly don’t sexual assault anyone, violently assault anyone or steal anything. I don’t understand why we think that anyone that commits any kind of crime should be eligible to live in the UK.

It’s not that fucking hard.

Isn’t it the point though that it should be zero.
