But it is rascist now since the decendents of mass immigration have joined the whities in prison.

It’s as easy as that.

This is the usual white privilege nonsense. Judges are ‘racist’ because they have the nerve to sentence criminals in the appropriate manner. Police are also racist because a disproportionate number of criminals are ethnic minority.

I see. That is why the jails are full. Melanin obsession. Well, the Left are experts there!

Labour breaking a trend to build no fresh prisons from 1997 was no factor, I take it. And then when Jack Straw had the nerve to want to rush-build the odd superprison – just to handle the load – idiots like LFF devotees bitched about the poor little criminals. They’re only caged like animals, mate! Of COURSE they will misbehave!

Well they certainly didn’t re-offend at a rate of 65% put on community service instead, did they Left? Oh, they did, didn’t they Left.

One reason we voted Tory.

The people whom you mention are human beings. Every single one of them.
And who is to say that a Liberal, right on, politically correct English Society is the right place for them?

Quite a lot of them come from backgrounds which are religiously very different from the traditional English one. It is unreasonable of you to expect that they will all conform to liberal standards of behaviour: they have their own standards and, in adolescence, their own ways of rebelling.
Quite a lot of them come from societies where crime is completely normal and even seen as a virtue.
Several of them come from what anyone would call a broken home.

If this were just a British phenomenon, it would be serious. It is not. I am afraid this is a world wide thing. But I do not expect anyone else to admit this.
