Prisoner Cell Block Keir Starmer

"On his way to Washington for the Nato summit, Starmer also warned there would be no immediate fixes to the small boats crisis of asylum seekers crossing the Channel, suggesting he expected numbers to rise over the summer months. He said the government would not put any number on when they expected the crossings to begin to fall."

Reform UK voters will be stewing in juices of their own making upon reading that. It is why they didn't vote Tory, why they didn't vote Labour. Their over riding concern is illegal migrants. "There's too many of em, there are not enough jobs for em. Why have they got to house em round here?"

From multiple victim crossbow killer to human remains in suitcases, QC Keir Starmer has picked a good week to let people out of prison early. Shoplifters, the mentally ill, the drug addicted will all be turfed out on to the chewing gum stained streets of Britain and we won't know who they are. They could have done anything and we just don't know. The curtain twitchers, the CCTV addicts, the doorbell cam enthusiasts will be sat in their hallways with whatever can legally pass for ammunition because these are law abiding citizens. They are just very scared and frightened citizens because our governments have been letting em in! You know, the other, foreigners, them.

The culture of fear, paranoia and distrust that pervades every social interaction on the UK mainland is the limbic system of every cavedave and cavekaren going back to the age of the dinosaurs. It is dinosaurs that we have in government who actually believe that prison is a deterrent to committing crime. If it was why are there so many prisoners, so many prisons and so much overcrowding? Because in this country we want to punish everything? If we could we would punish the way you think.We would do that! We've got Xy Brexy twitter for that! Elon Musk will break you long before we will!

Blame the Victorians! They are responsible for our sewerage system and they are responsible for our human sewerage system namely prisons. They were built to dehumanise people who couldn't toe the line. Debtors! The poor, workhouses. Those who could not or would not subscribe to the Industrial Revolution Capitalist meat mincer. Years of bird would break you in the Pentonville system.

Britain is broken and Reform UK want to fix it! Why not have cell sharing? A Tommy Robinson patriot with an illegal immigrant. No, we've had that before with devastating consequences. Mr Timpson probably means very well but in the favourite word of Nigel Farage #Cobblers. Cutting keys and putting soles on old shoes is soul destroying but it is lauded as rehabilition. "It keeps them on the straight and narrow"

Life is so shit in Britain after 14 years of Tory government and even before that! Fat cats get fatter and the poor, destitute and homeless get thinner and then die.

At least in prison you get fed and a TV! I wonder how many of the prisoners being let out of prison early actually want to be let out. It is damned difficult living in the outside world once you have been inside and for many it is impossible. It is not just the human being who is being jailed it is their demons and their demons are likely to get worse with 23 hours of lock up in their cell.

Prison dehumanises people! It appears from the news stories this week that living in Britain is enough to dehumanise people. Inside bars, outside bars? What really is the difference?

In a society with too many straight and too many narrow the revolving doors of prison highlight a human problem. We can blame the institution of prison and the moral fibre of prisoners but what about blaming the Ministry of Justice? what about the solicitors and barristers and the bewigged judges? These guys depend on crime to pay their salaries.

Prison is a seriously fucked up answer to a seriously fucked up question and that seriously fucked up question with all its caveats is

"WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST OBEY THE LAW?"
