    This is what happens when politicians treat their own people like garbage.
  • @colinmelling6369
    So we are going to release 400 old prisoners early to put 400 new ones in to release the pressure on prisons. Great logic that.

    Gordon Brown (2009) - 'I get it about immigration'. David Cameron (2011) - '... our borders will be under control and immigration will be at levels our country can manage. No ifs. No buts.' Theresa May (2017) - 'We will get immigration below 100,000 per year'. Boris Johnson (2020) - 'We will get back control of our borders'. Rishi Sunak (2024) - 'It is the British public who should make decisions about who crosses our borders.' What did they expect?

    1:30 people entering the country illegally is a national security issue!
  • @PiesNSuch
    Madness that they can run 24 hour courts to deal with someone smashing a window but not to deal with the gargantuan backlog of asylum claims and such
  • @toms7671
    Funny how the prisons where full a few weeks ago!
  • @brandensly6403
    A lad arrested for smashing windows? Where was this during the Leeds riots?
  • Has that fella who broke the female police officers nose at Manchester Airport been given his three year prison sentence??
  • @yarcoPenfold
    When society has no trust in their government and policing. It's in trouble.
  • @col.hertford9855
    No such thing as extra policing, they will be redeployed from elsewhere or have rest days and holidays cancelled.

  • The world is a terrible terrible place I am sick of the greed of some people , the poverty of others , the purposely ruination of the wonderful NHS miss handled by politicians wanting to privatise it , the ill treatment of elderly people having to sell their homes and give up lifetime savings they've worked hard for to be put in private nursing homes with very young workers who don't attend training due to these dreadful firms not providing training sessions , I'm sick of seeing homeless people living on the streets , we are all one pay cheque away from being homeless especially in this current climate , im sick of religion causing so much hate , I'm sick of some celebrities being found to be sexual predators , I am sick of animal abuse , food poverty , heating poverty . Yes isn't the world wonderful why can't we do something together for the greatness of man and help and care for each other , heartbreaking .
  • @a.mackrous7664

  • @nigeljackson1987
