Charles Clarke is an incompetent liar (Part One)
Charles Clarke, stalwart critic of the "lazy and deceitful" media, yesterday sought to use the media to put his best foot forward on the latest prison scandal...
David Davis: The Home Secretary briefed the press at 12.30 pm today and laid a statement in the House at 2.11 pm, so the House could not have been aware of the situation before the press. As far as I am aware, we do not have a mechanism to bring the Home Secretary to the Chamber to answer for that major Government failure.
Richard Bacon: Further to the point of order raised by the shadow Home Secretary, Mr. Speaker. I would have wished to table an urgent question this morning, Mr. Speaker, had the Home Office made its written statement early enough. It was my question in the Public Accounts Committee (last year) that led to the information—as it turned out, the inadequate information—being released.
Over to BlairWatch for the rich, creamy goodness...
Charles Clarke (you remember him; he was the guy who called the media "lazy and deceitful") knew about this for well over 9 months, but did nothing to immediately arrest the problem... most probably because any minor corrections would have set alarm bells ringing at a time that was politically inconvenient.
In that time, a further 288 foreign criminals were released instead of being deported and they could/should have been under law... and Charles Clarke has been caught lying through his teeth about it
One can only wonder what new, exciting and misguided authoritarian measure will be used to over-compensate for this disgraceful state of affairs (which must surely be acknowledged as an election gift for the BNP).

Government impunity must come to a stop.
Don't think this is not deliberate, all this 'incompetence' in Parole and Immigration. No one is that stupid.
They are setting up the requirements to neccesitate the National Identity Registry (database). They are creating such a mess we will need it to sort it out again. But why?
Why and How do they act with such IMPUNITY...why do we let them get away with it. All the thieving, lying, corrupt, bullying, wasteful crap that is spinned into neccesary action, which then as they see their problems created requires more action, which creates more problems.
It's like the rest of it. Yes we need to stop terrorists. No we don't need to become an Island Prison to do it. We just need competent government that does not act with IMPUNITY. We need a government which can honestly evaluate the consequences of their actions, instead of making 'targets' as the only truth and squirming and spinning everything else.
Government Impunity is an offence and they are becoming rotten and infected through it.
Government Impunity must come to a stop. Full stop.
