Re: Starmer’s chronicles

again - realms of. The army of military aged people of antithetic culture to ours has reached prportions that cause highlighting and outrage. As if Hugh didn’t know.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

And now William billy Smith released wrongfully on 3 nov

We are appealing for help in finding 35-year-old William Smith, who goes by the name Billy, after he was released in error from HMP Wandsworth on Monday (3 November).

We are carrying out a number of enquiries at pace to try and locate him.

Smith was sentenced to 45 months for multiple fraud offences at Croydon Crown Court on Monday (3 November), during which he appeared via a live video link from HMP Wandsworth.

He is described as White, bald, and clean shaven.

Smith was last seen wearing a navy long sleeve jumper with the Nike brand ‘tick’ across the front in white, navy blue tracksuit bottoms with a Nike ‘tick’ in white on the left pocket, and black trainers.

Smith has links to Woking but could be anywhere in Surrey.

Yes folks he was released on the same day he was convicted

Because, as you well know, certain things have to happen to make story newsworthy. Then it gets out to the wider population.

The perfect storm this cycle has been:

Epping Hotel protests
Epping Hotel protestors branded far right, although many mothers and daughters
Epping Hotel migrant actually found guilty of sexual assault
Epping protestors vindicated
Epping migrant convicted of sexual assault released
Epping Migrant asked to be allowed back in prison as he didn’t know where to go.
Epping Migrant picked up two days later.

Prison service now under scrutiny by the press……………
Other mistaken releases highlighted and reported on.

2023 doesn’t matter, That’s why it’s headline news now.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Hang on a minute, what about that brilliant scheme to release prisoners early?

Can they not just fudge some paperwork and say "well we let them go because we needed the room"

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Prisoner wrongly released hands himself in

Billy Smith was spotted waving and smiling as he voluntarily made his return to HMP Wandsworth, but the search for another prisoner, sex offender Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, continues.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

And another one's gone

a man who was serving a 21-year sentence for kidnap and grievous bodily harm absconded from an open prison in Sussex last month.

Sky News has learned that Ola Abimbola is a foreign national offender who still hasn't returned to HMP Ford - and Sussex Police says it is working with partners to find him.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

The only thing we're 'all in together' is the brown smelly stuff, it's just some aren't in as deep . . . but will be when the wonky 3 legged stool they're standing on collapses..

Just completely unserious. Once again, you can have whatever you want in terms of spending but without having to raise tax

Re: Starmer’s chronicles

Nobody really likes a rise in basic income tax, although that really only hurts those at the bottom of the 'average' earnings bracket.

A rise in VAT hits everyone, apart from suppliers who will presumably raise their prices to the consumers.

National Insurance . . well we've already seen that working . . . so successfully


Waste however, my Lord, where to start with cutting back on waste.
For every proposal on how to cut waste there is a counter argument from those departments doing the wasting
