So what are we going to do with all the criminals currently awaiting sentancing then, give them a slap on the wrist and tell them not to do it again ?

Maybe we need to make use of all these boring little Scottish Islands and send them there instead, no need to build prisons on them just let them see if they can swim.

Kind Regards.

Google, 'Prison Reform Trust,prison, the facts,Summer 2022' (Bromley Briefings)

An accurate though a couple of years out of date.

A few major points on a quick read,20,000 new places were promised by the mid 2020's, staff,probation have had their budget cut by 20%.

Interesting read,and goes some way towards dispelling misconceptions.

As of the end of June 2023, there were at least 10,321 foreign nationals in prison in England and Wales, out of a total prison population of 85,851. Over half of foreign prisoners were European and, overall, the most common nationalities were Albanian, Polish, Romanian, Irish, and Jamaican.2 Feb 2024

About the same percentage of foreign inmates in Germany as you said Ireland has. Sounds like the English are simply more criminally inclined than the Irish and Germans are.

UK citizenship doesn't necesarily mean immigration is not a big factor.

Blair let in millions late 1990s/2000s. Stats won't tell you how many of them, or more likely their kids, are in prisons if they have citizenship.

"Over a quarter (27%) of the prison population, 21,537 people, are from a minority ethnic group.

If our prison population reflected the ethnic make-up of England and Wales, we would have over 9,000 fewer people in prison—the equivalent of 12 average-sized prisons."

With Noblet's way, a birch would only cost a few quid.

Just 32% of poor white British children achieve five good GCSEs including English and mathematics, compared with 42% of black Caribbean children eligible for free school meals and 61% of disadvantaged Indian children.

The attainment of poor children from other ethnic backgrounds is improving faster than the attainment of poor white children.

If we did not experience this population explosion over the last two decades, there would be far few people in prison. An unarguable fact. You would have to count British nationals who are offspring of people who weren't to get the full picture, and that's not data that is published.

ie it's simple numeracy, more people means more demand on civic resources. Even if it was equally distributed across the population (the proportion of population in prison)

This record has been played so many times. It is the establishment. Blair and Labour started it, we got rid of them. Cameron and Tories blamed the EU, so we voted to escape the EU. In 2019 we voted for it again and the establishment doubled down. People have quite rightly determined that there doesn't appear to be any way to prevent the establishment from flooding the country with people.

Why were there so many more applications than expected?

Although around 5.3 million people have applied to the scheme, the number granted settled or pre-settled status is closer to 4.9 million. A further 335,000 were still pending as of the end of May 2021.

Look at the nett migration figures for the last 30 years, your argument doesn't stack up. It has gone off the scale the last few years.

Cognitive dissonance, the mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The unease or tension that the conflict arouses in people is relieved by one of several defensive maneuvers: they reject, explain away, or avoid the new information; persuade themselves that no conflict really exists; reconcile the differences; or resort to any other defensive means of preserving stability or order in their conceptions of the world and of themselves.
Report Cider July 4, 2024 3:38 PM BST
ergo, it's a lot easier to shout 'racist' than it is to explain why 5.3 million people don't need a lot of housing, and don't push demand and housing costs up exponentially.

The complaint was he talks endlessly about immigration and not much else, the youtube clip you posted is not representative of what he spends most of his time doing and talking about, which is immigration - if he gave as much air time to other policies he might have he may have been elected as an MP years ago instead of the constant rejection in targeted seats.

I am in favour of immigration control the same as everyone else but all this talk about stopping the boats is a red herring, a ploy aimed at simple souls who think that's actually where most of Britain's immigration is coming from, whilst those radicalised on talk radio would like to storm Dover beach and take pot shots at the rickety old boats about if it weren't for modern tech and everyone have a camera in thier pocket, most of the immmigrants are actually above their heads in the skies, flying into Heathrow legally giving a little wave as they cruise by at 500mph. Illegal immigration makes up about 6% of total migration to the UK (after net migration) in a 12 month period yet it gets 99% of the coverage. A city the size of Sheffield move to the UK last year and they weren't coming across the channel.

The point of the opening post was not about immigation, it was about the fact the prison system is soft, too many of those prisoners are reoffenders taking up resources and space, too many of them think prison is like a holiday which is why they don't mind going back, no prisoner in Thailand, Turkey, America or Georgia would ever want to go back.

Kind Regards.
Report Cider July 4, 2024 5:22 PM BST
There's two parts to that. The illegals simply flags up the utter incompetence of the state. Not only collecting them from the sea, after being handed over by the French, akin to a taxi service, but furnishing them with things for free that most people are already here could only dream of. Literally rewarding criminal acts. It's the proverbial snack in the chops. Plus it's an absurd security risk, we let them do whatever they wan and a significant number are criminally minded.

More people = more people in prison - more demand on the state's resources. Whether prison is being used effectively or not is a different discussion, obviously prison numbers is correlated to the number of people, whatever the approach is.
