U.K. having a few problems

[BIAD]

It's all hands to the pumps as the British prison system hunts for ways to assist the new Government in
bringing their subjects of the Crown to heel. With the outrage of why diverse ranges-of-age-people came
out to protest at the recent slayings of three children in Southport, justice is being enforced by releasing
prisoners in order to house those who dare to question the idea of a particular type of diversity.

And all the while, the mainstream media avoid the question that everyone else is asking.

Move to ease prison overcrowding as more rioters jailed



'The government has activated emergency measures to ease prison overcrowding as more rioters are
being sentenced for their role in recent unrest. Across the north of England defendants waiting for a court
appearance will be kept in police cells until prison space is available.

The system, known as Operation Early Dawn, was activated on Monday morning. It was previously used
by the Conservative government in May. The government said that its action to "tackle violent thuggery on
our streets" has "exacerbated longstanding capacity issues in our prisons".

Prisons in the North East and Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire, and Manchester, Merseyside and
Cheshire regions will be affected. More than 1,000 people have been arrested in connection with violent
disorder following riots in England and Northern Ireland earlier this month, according to the National
Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC).

The riots erupted following misinformation after three girls were killed in Southport.

The Crown Prosecution Service says more than 470 people have been charged with offences so far.
On Friday, two men received the longest sentences yet related to the disorder. David Wilkinson, 48, was
jailed for six years for offences including racially/religiously aggravated criminal damage and attempted
arson.

John Honey, 25, was sentenced to four years and eight months for offences including racially aggravated
criminal damage. Under the measures, defendants will only be summoned to a magistrates' court when
a space in prison is ready for them.

This means court cases could be delayed, with people kept in police holding cells or released on bail while
they await trial. The Ministry of Justice said that anyone who "poses a risk to the public" will not be bailed
and the police's ability to arrest criminals will not be affected.

Prisons Minister Lord Timpson said: "We inherited a justice system in crisis and exposed to shocks. As a
result, we have been forced into making difficult but necessary decisions to keep it operating."
He said that the emergency measures will help "manage the pressure felt in some parts of the country".

Deputy Chief Constable Nev Kemp of the NPCC said: "We are working closely with criminal justice system
partners to manage demand in the system and ensure that the public are safe. "Policing will continue to
arrest anyone that they need to in order to keep the public safe, including policing protests and events and
ensuring that people are arrested as expected."...'
