So Charles Clake (home secretary) has today admitted than 1023 foreign prisoner held in UK jails have been freed between 1999 and 2005, without being considered for deportation.
They include child molestors, drug dealers, burglers and people jailed for manslaughter.
Yet another example of how this party are incomptent, lazy, dishonest, and downright liars.
Surely we have never had a more incompetent governement.
They have sold half our gold reserves, poured money into the NHS and now find trusts all over the country are in debt and laying people off, allowed crime and anti-social behaviour to grow and grow, entered an illegal war in Iraq, and allowed almost unrestricted entry to anybody who turned up on our doorstep.
They have given honours out to people for gifts to the labour party, and had their fair share of corrupt members such as Blunkett and Mandelson.
Remember somoe of blairs lies
"You have 48 hours to save the NHS" before the election.
"Tough on crime and the causes of crime"
Just words, words words and almost no action.

Remember the decimation of our manufacturing industry?
Remember Thatcher's slavish dedication to free market policies, which meant more for big business (and the pay masters of the Tories) than it did for you and your next door neighbours?
The Thatcher/Major years killed this country. And people who vote BNP as a protest against Labour are fools. They're voting for BNP because they read The Sun and cannot comprehend that their problems are their fault. It's nothing to do with immigration - they would've been failures if the country was 100% white.
Hang on...what's all this "allowed almost unrestricted access to anybody who turned up on our doorstep"?
That's a complete lie!
That is an absolute and complete lie.
I understand that people should have the right to robustly state their opinions, but when you lie about immigration policies, you're not better than the low brows who vote BNP thinking that they're going to give a 'better deal' for the indigenous population of this country.
Cloud cuckoo land I'm afraid.
The Labour Party is the best there is out there. What is the alternative?
UKIP Nazis?
BNP Fascists?
Liberal...ermm...Democrats?
C'mon...you know Labour's good for you.
SP1814 - who rattled you cage then ?
So I erad the sun, so I'll vote BNP. Stop generalizing, and get that great big chip off your shoulder.
Most people did very well out of the Thatcher years and they handed a golden economy to Brown. They were not chucked out because of econopmy failures.
As for manufacturing - what is happening now. Oh yes its all the fault of the Tories.
What poppycock
I'm tired of people looking back on the Thatcher years as a golden period and everything Labour has done as wrong.
Mrs Thatcher started what we have now. She gave every working man the excuse to think only of himself and 's*d the rest'. Didn't she once say that 'there is no such thing as society'?
I totally agree that by 1979, we needed to re-evaluate our monetary policies, especially in light of the emerging economies of the east...but in order to do this...mass unemployment had to be maintained. It was the only way that you can support a free market economy.
And believe me - it weren't natural Tory votes that were affected.
Evil personified. Tony may have got things wrong, but it was genuinely from a right point of view. Thatcher got things wrong deliberately.
Incidentally, I may have given the impression that I scorn those who vote BNP. Apologies...I absolutely despise those who vote BNP - I've read the manifesto and a vote for the BNP is a vote against me as a human being and for that...I despise all BNP voters.
I haven't read all the answers, got as far as Looseheads, and stopped, he has read this goverment correctly, i've been saying this for years, and getting knocked down for years, but as time goes on, more people are beginning to realise the truth, but nothing is being done about it,
The only people that can do something is the electorate, and too many people nowadays don't vote.
By the way, Regional Assemblies are coming back in, by the back door.
