Straight To The Point

Charles Clarke wants tougher rules on deportation. Erm, what's the point of tougher rules if even the supposed "soft" rules aren't even followed? This is just a blatant attempt to make it look like the "rules" were what was wrong, and not the imbeciles who should have been following them. The whole problem is that "hundreds of foreign prisoners have been freed without the required investigation into whether they should be deported."

What does a Home Secretary have to do to lose their job if losing track of over 250 (under his watch) criminals isn't enough? Murder someone himself? At least it gives even more credence to the argument that the Government couldn't organise an ID Card party in a brewery.
