Yesterday someone was interviewed and said he’d spent the £75 he was given as he’d took a train and was seen buying food

Why did have £75 given to him anyway?

Fucking comical "Here you go Mr Rapist that shouldn't even be here anyway, we're going to open the door, here's £75, see how far you can get." Like a reality show ffs.

I understand why released prisoners get some pocket money to start them off, but it does make you question how much that migrant who got returned in the 'one in one out' scheme got given, and how much of that went straight to the people smugglers to bring him back again.

The incompetence of the UK at the moment is genuinely quite unbelievable.

It's not even difficult to get sorted, get a squad of immigration coppers down outside the KFC on the Burgess and I bet you'd catch shit loads. Seize all assets/funds and send them on the next flight home.

I personally have my doubts that people want to see this kind of stuff (as we’ve seen in the US) in this country.

You think prisoners should just be turfed out and told to get on with it?
mmmmm
Wonder why reoffending rates are off the chart

Wouldn’t have lasted him long in Dalston these days!

I suppose a case of mistaken identity might explain why he was both released and given the money. Unless it was just the prison giving him access to his own funds again?

Maybe people should try and get an understanding of the wider issue rather than just surmised or repeat rhetoric.

I have done some work with this charity in London who support offenders when they are released. The personal stories are insightful, heartbreaking but also the success that charities like St Giles achieve save lives and wider the tax payer millions in the long term.

have a read or even better get involved.

I think the promotion celebration bus may well stay parked in the garage although for different reasons offered on a recently created 'controversial' thread.

Allegedly off again - This time on a genuine technicality as the apprehending officer didn’t say ‘tig’ when he grabbed him.

It was an admin error. He was supposed to be getting deported and somebody fucked up the paperwork.

Apparently there is a new process being put in place from tomorrow to stop this happening but as with so many things you look at the number of times this has happened and wonder why nothing was done before.

We have it already, our version is the Immigration Compliance and Enforcement team. But unlike the US ICE the aren't allowed to grab people off the street with little more than the colour of their skin as the reason.

The number of raids they do has been massively increased, up 50%, and in line with that the number of arrests has increased 75% but now here's where you'll see the problem. The new, increased, numbers equate to around 800 raids leading to around 600 arrests. It's a drop in the ocean, no pun intended.

Then you've got the issue that it's not as simple as rounding people up and deporting them.

Reform will no doubt insist on copying the current US Republican strategy - they do for everything else - but I don’t think either Reform or the general British public truly appreciate how ugly and violent (and expensive!) it has to get for it to be properly enforced.
