He no doubt has an army of "diversity consultants" ready to scramble into action at a moments notice. I'm sure Putin is scared stiff that he too may face the full force of the law We have little military might to direct at anybody these days and an army of correctly pronouned conscripts which will of course have to fulfill diversity and disablement quotas ( including LGBGT of course) is hardly going to worry anybody, although the fear of being bummed might put a few prospective aggressors off,

How could anybody possibly be "proud" ? The refusal of the "extreme left wingers" to criticise anything that Starmers lot dream up is quite bizarre, unless they too are fearful of facing the full force of the law

Perhaps the decision on who to release should take into account the offender and their personal circumstances as well as the offence they commited, maybe releasing only those who had access to accommodation and support from their families would have been a better idea. Not exactly rocket science but evidently well beyond the grasp of the probation service who have a history of releasing dangerous violent criminals back into society were they can reoffend at their lesiure

I would seriously expect foreign criminals who are members of the "alphabet" communities to be given priority over everybody else. of course

Why reserve it for those guilty of "serious" crimes ? A zero tolerance approach is the best option,

once two tier kier finds out about this , I am sure he will bring the full force of the law down on to them , there is no room for right wing extremists anywhere

I doubt any foreigners would last long in a dystopian bangkok environment, Spain is already getting a bit xenophobic regarding tourists so Madrid would be no safer for us, I don't know much about Hobart but I doubt they will be enthusiastic about the rest of the world aiming to hide there either

Don't let your lack of self confidence be a reason for selling yourself short

Going to need more than a change of address, although I guess a very remote location would have advantages. But , Once the entire global financial system has imploded and the power and communication systems have failed along with health care etc etc we will be looking at some sort of dystopian world akin to that depicted in the "mad max" films. Would there really be any point in prolonging whatever agonies we will inevetibly suffer. ?

What a nightmare scenario, The future of the world resting in the hands of leftie ex lawyers like Starmer and Harris . how on earth can this be allowed to happen, I can think of few people less qualified to be in these positions

What exactly is our resident idiot Two tier Kier getting involved for, its difficult to imagine why a country that can't maitain its border security or even guarantee the survival of its elderly during winter thinks it is qualified to even attend these meetings

If she gets in then its "game over"

Or maybe they do and they aiso realise that there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it. The future of the world lies solely in the hands of the most corrupt, incompetant , self serving people on the planet.

Brilliant response

Well much as I detest this individual, I do think he has raised a valid point. We cannot simply throw prisoners out onto the streets at the end of their prison sentence and expect them all to integrate seamlessly back into society as law abiding citizens without some sort of support. Anybody who thinks differently is delusional However they should never receive preferential treatment over and above that given to law abiding people, it should never appear that crime does infact pay. Indeed any foreign prisoners ( presumably the ones he really cares about) should have been deported immediately on conviction as a mandatory part of any punishment they receive. He says " it’s the honest conversation we’ve got to have with people across our respective cities and stuff to explain the reason we’re doing this." but in reality there is an awful lot more that needs to be explained to the long suffering British public, or "extreme right wing " as they are now called

So show me what I wrote which implies I think that Thailand is "only about prostitution" or as you appear to have now changed tack , tell me what I "meant " You would be better off just reading what people actually write rather than putting your own sexually repressed spin on things.

But I don't think that Thailand is "only about prostitution" and neither did I write anything to that effect.

Its astonishing how many people on this forum appear to have deep rooted sexual issues particularly regarding prostitutes. One has to wonder what it was that attracted them here in the firstplace, and why they choose to remain?

By depriving pensioners of the winter fuel allowance initially , soon to be followed by huge tax increases, The unemployed and the disabled will also be expected to pay their share. I would expect a significant increase in borrowing too. The only people who will not be asked to put their hand in their pockets will be the "irregular " immigrants and members of the approved trade unions. All will soon be revealed

From the time somebody has the Idea to build a prison until the time it is commisioned into service is measured in years. I doubt very much if Two tier kier or the Labour party will be around for long enough for the first opening ceremony. It will probably be Nigel Farage who will be invited to cut the pink tape on opening day

So since cannabis was effectively legalised here, exactly how many reports have we heard or read of incidents like this where cannabis was to blame,? I think we could actually count them on one hand, and that is after the best efforts of the entire media. There has not been the breakdown in society that was predicted by those educated by "reefer madness" yet some are still desperately trying to convince us as to the negative effects. Has the average number of road traffic accidents increased significantly as a result ? no it has not . Have millions of people become addicted to "harder" drugs due to the "gateway " effect? of course not

Very little , times are changing, there are certain luxuries that people can no longer afford . Consumerism is a whole new subject for discussion. With all the talk of "the high street" It seems it is now a way of measuring the economy but how relevant is people buying things they don't using money they don't have ? Do 12 year old kids really need £200 training shoes? or smart phones with greater computing power than that required to send man to the moon? Seems a bit strange to me that people can be debanked on the whim of the same banks who will offer credit cards to the unemployed

Several senior police officers themselves have admitted to the existence of 2 tier policing, in fact one would have to be blind or in denial to dispute it. Another worrying thought is that even if this government is voted out at the first opportunity, historically new governments have always been very reluctant to overturn any legislation put in place by previous administrations. As an example one would have expected any labour government to have cancelled maggies move to enable people to buy their own council houses, but it never got a mention did it?

But do we need or indeed actually have any "influence" or all this access to world trade ? Simple example, where I lived in the UK was a farming area good soil produces quality vegetables, yet when I visit the local supermarket most of the vegetables seem to come from the other side of the world. Do people really need to eat out of season strawberries from Egypt in the middle of winter ? Of course not. Sure some natural resources will need to be traded and imported but is it all absolutely necessary?

I tend to believe that too many people are locked up for too long for the wrong reasons, How many people are banged up for not paying their TV licence fee ? I can't be bothered looking it up but I am reasonaby certain the figure is in the thousands and I have heard that the vast majority of those are single parent unmarried mothers I am in no way an expert on penal reform but it strikes me that just blindly following a system that was dreamed up hundreds of years ago by locking people up in prisons , most of which where built hundreds of years ago has been a complete failure and is in serious need of a total rethink. Just like our political system itself which is totally unfit for service and I include the whole civil service too
