Election Year or Fear!

[Trickytreesreds]

Just maybe, it would help if TTR actually read and understood what's in an article prior to posting it up as proof of violent prisoners being let out early.

Here's a sentence, cut and paste from the MSN article ...

There are fears that offenders who have committed violent crimes will be let out early due to a “loophole” and that they will go on to commit further offences.

That does not say they are being let out. Merely that someone is voicing fears that it MIGHT happen.

PS - I might be wrong but, I'm pretty sure I quoted reports saying that violent offenders wouldn't be released early based on a Minister saying so and then it turned out that the one TTR referred to had done his time for a non-violent crime and was serving a subsequent sentence for a lesser crime.Peter, a probation officer working for the service in England for over 15 years, said it was “not safe” to release so many people at once.

Oh stop evading MA. Read on what the whistle blower actually said

But probation officers told i that a “loophole” in the scheme means those with a history of violence and ***ual offending ARE being released early. Whistleblowers names have been changed to protect their identity.Peter, a probation officer working for the service in England for over 15 years, said it was “not safe” to release so many people at once.

“I don’t care what the press and public are being told – men with violent and ***ual offending [histories] are coming out early, often with a risk management plan thrown together in days,” he said.
