    has anyone else heard about this? 1,023 foreign prisoners have been set free in britain!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4949270.stm

    ''Mr Clarke apologised earlier this week after 1,023 foreign prisoners, including murderers, rapists and sex offenders, were allowed to walk free without being considered for deportation.

    Mr Clarke told the Cabinet it was a "systemic problem like any other" and he hoped to report by the end of the week on the more serious prisoners. ''

    I never liked Charles Clarke, but after this he really does have to go. He says he needs to stay as it's his responsibility to sort the problem out, but the problem's been known for a very long time and yet he did nothing, despite several reports that stated that it was a major problem. He also decieived the media when he said only 'a very few' people had been released without being considered for deportation since the problem had been highlighted, when the actual figure was 288. By not getting the prison and immigration services to communicate with each other more effectively, he has failed in a key duty, and so cannot stay on as home secretary.

    I heard the guy on Newsnight. At least he didn't try to dodge what a god-awful cock-up it was.
    He should be judged on how he sorts the mess out... Erm, no. He should be sacked, and IMO investigated for this potential dangerous oversight / downright cover-up.
    Sure, the institution sounds rotten to the core (3 departments to do 1 task - must be the Civil Service) but the head also has to roll.

    If that's a systemic problem 'like any other' I'm glad as heck I don't live in Britain.

    To be fair to him the problem has existed over the time of 3 home secretaries, makes it worse for Labour though.

    I also think somone has to take responsibility, and the one who does should not be allowed to resign, they should be sacked the same as you or I would.

    Funny how the civil servants never lose their jobs, isn't it? Even if the minister goes, the people who actually cocked up always carry on until 60 and their big fat pensions...

    I think you're all a bunch of rascists. They served their time, they should be granted full citizenship and be allowed to go on the dole the moment they walk out of prison.

    I actually think I was channelling the old boy. Certainly didn't sound like me...

    Obviously you're just a hateful, nativist, racist who doesn't want to take the time to appreciate the greatness of multiculturalism and diversity and change your life to accomadate the whims of others.

    nope i am proud to be an immigrant to britain as all of us british folk are and am delighted to welcome more hardworking immigrants to come here many of them are my friends and i think that immigration over the centuarys is what made us such a unique and great nation but when were talking about rapists and murderors who are here illegally and have then commited crimes and are then set free while an assilum seeker who had commited a lesser offence (ie illegal imigration) is forced to leave
