Over 100 foreign criminals and illegal immigrants have used the European 'right to a family life' to avoid deportation from the UK in the past year.

Thousands of serious offenders, including killers, paedophiles and rapists, have been let out early only to commit new crimes, on some occasions within hours of release. The number of dangerous criminals being returned to prison has risen five-fold in the past decade. In 2001, 2,457 prisoners who had been released on parole or on licence were hauled back behind bars. But by 2010, that figure had risen to 13,900 – a 466 per cent rise over just nine years. The new figures – which were described as ‘staggering’ by critics last night – emerged as ministers battle to counter allegations that a culture of ‘soft justice’ is developing under the Coalition. In the same pe…

Red Herring? Some of the comments are interesting : ''If the Police have got time to do their shopping when they should be working, then the government is right we need to sacking them, for what use they are we would be better of without the lot of them'' - guess your not allowed to eat on duty ''At least the vehicle is parked neatly. Usually, around here, they drive up onto footpaths and abandon their vehicles.....'One law for them.....one law for the rest of us'!!'' - guess if a crim is running away, they should parallel park or go to the nearest pay and display? and my fav : ''i'm concerned with al these policemen regularly eating fish & chips. are they fit …
