Indefinite Leave?

I spent three months of this summer in Britain's most overcrowded prison, HMP Durham. For frankly political reasons, I was kept in twice as long as I had twice been told in writing that I would be. But I did not hear of anyone's having been released by accident. So many inmates were one, two or all three of very young, drugged out of their minds, and with nothing left to lose, that if people had thought that they could just have walked out, then a lot of them would have done. Nationally, 91 prisoners did precisely that between April and October. Ninety-one.

"Don't worry, Dickie's on the case," the Royal Family used to exclaim sarcastically whenever this or that responsibility was entrusted to Lord Mountbatten, always with predictably disastrous results. And now, don't worry, Lammy's on the case, with, on top of everything else, one in 25 Prison Service staff facing deportation because they had indefinite leave to remain but earned less than £41,700 per year. That report is ITV, saving which is at least as important as saving the BBC.
