Writing in today’s Telegraph, our Founder explores the latest early release of thousands of prisoners:
“While Labour, for a while at least, can reasonably lay much of the blame on previous governments, they will soon realise that they are now responsible for delivering on the first duty of government. The crimes committed by those released early will be on their watch, with the political consequences ultimately coming back on them.
As usual, the human consequences will be disproportionately felt by those without gold-plated pensions or expense accounts. The poorest and most left-behind will, as always, suffer the most from another government unprepared to grip crime and disorder.”
