A prison officer will be killed if the Government does not “get a grip” of “spiralling” violence by prisoners, Robert Jenrick has warned. 18-year-old Rudakubana allegedly used a kettle in his cell to heat the water before the attack at HMP Belmarsh on Thursday 8 May.
Why does a prisoner - any prisoner, let alone a killer - get a kettle in their cell? Is our prison service so utterly fallen to that long march through the institutions that the comfort of killers, rapists and terrorists is allowed to override the safety of those guarding them?
I know, rhetorical question…
“I have spoken to officers who say attacks with boiling water are not uncommon. Will he commit today to order the removal of every kettle from high-risk prisoners? Not in June, but now, today. This goes deeper than one review, men like Rudakubana and Abedi glorify violence, they dream of martyrdom, and, still, governors pander to them. “I couldn’t care less if Rudakubana never had a hot drink again, nor would the British public. This culture of appeasement, of protecting the rights of convicted terrorists and criminals over the safety of our officers must end, and it must end now. “
Well, the Tories were in power for how long, Robert? Eleven years, wasn’t it? Why didn’t they do something about it then ? Is it because they are just as beholden to the progressive outlook as Labour? Or was it in case any of the Afghans they were secretly foisting on us (and keeping it secret) turned out to be vicious criminals, per chance?
