R/W press - why haven't you sorted everything by now. Answer - it took you fourteen years to create this clusterfuck - wait. PS it takes at least 6 years to build a prison - I know I've done it.
Alternative answer - why, after 14 years of austerity, is "more austerity" still being touted as a solution to the problems that have been exacerbated by austerity?
Our prison estate is in crisis. Putting aside my personal view as a retired police officer, that 25-50% of the prison population shouldn't have been incarcerated in the first place. The current crisis is entirely of the past regime's making, it's been known for over a year that the combination of failure to process court appearances, excessive sentences, excessive use of custody remand and failure to maintain the prison estate , would mean by this summer there would simply be insufficient space to house the existing prison population even with trippling up. The incoming Labour government has no immediate choice but to release thousands of non violent prisoners early before addressing the longer term issues. One obvious, to me, solution would be the release of the vast majority of prisoners in category D ( open) prisons, with the exception of lifers awaiting release on licence category D prisoners already have day release up to 5 days a week for work, home weekend release up to one weekend a month. They pose no significant danger to the community the issue is often one of housing. Community housing is a far cheaper option for those that need it than prison placement and a tag release system with curfew orders would be an entirely satisfactory alternative. Some of the category D estate could then be repurposed for category C prisoners. There are 14 category D prisons in the country releasing those to tag would free up around 10,000 places.
The point about housing is very important, yet I hadn't even considered it. These days I'm reading more and more articles about crime with a charged individual "of no fixed address". It's hard to do home arrest or whatever the correct term is when people haven't got stability to do so.

Sending us to prison for drug possession offences is an affront. Without the drugs there would have been riots. I'm not joking, the drugs have held this country together and allowed the UK to survive the tories.
Perhaps less drug taking and more rioting would have been better. Remember, people like the Tories understand force. As a historic aside, which is interesting, there is strong evidence that Professor Timothy Leary ("tune in, turn on and drop out"), of LSD and sixties counterculture fame, was actually a CIA operative. Far from being ANTI drugs, the US Central Intelligence Agency actually encouraged drug taking and covertly promoted it. What they REALLY feared was a politically engaged, revolutionary and dare I say, communist, youth movement. A bunch of drugged, stoned, placid, easily controlled, sheep were very convenient for the government, and just what the good professor ordered. You've as good as said it yourself. "If it hadn't been for the drugs, there would have been riots."

I'd like to know what the Tories were planning on doing seeing as it's now been revealed that we only have around 700 prison spaces left in our already over crowded system. I guess they would take those cells designed for 2 people, which already now have 4 in them, and just add even more. Because of course that's how you deal with criminal behaviour, who cares about actually tackling why they ended up there and having actual effective ways to prevent re-offending
I listened to a parole officer yesterday and he was saying parole violation was one big problem ! Violations included a job change ?? Not informing of a change of address until they had moved ? Lots of minor infringements ! The Tories have been telling judges and magistrates to imprison only serious criminals !
Even if Starmer was the grooming gang's defence barrister he would be doing his job. Everyone is entitled to legal representation and you can't turn down representing a client without there being a very good reason. That is just how our legal system works.

I knowa guy lives up in Angus and works on the rigs. Here's the truth according to him. North Sea oil is about done anyway. What labour plans is off shore wind farms. That's a whole new industry needing to be built and maintained, and it's forever not just as long as it takes to pull muck out the sea bed. So all the off shore workers will be using the skills they have to do that and where re education is needed, it will be there. So this is utter bull that the negative Nellie's are moaning about. Second, 60% of prisoners are serving time for non violent offenses. Legalise weed, tax it, and watch the prison population fall straight off. Second get shop lifters etc doing community service - something we will benefit from rather than having them sitting on their backsides on the tax payer.
Starmer and Reeves have decided the electorate should stomach rises in their water bills between 22% and 44% over the next 5 years to cover the cost of improving infrastructure which these companies have neglected to do since privatisation. They will not consider nationalisation because they say it would be too expensive and complicated. That is not true. The actual reason is they are neoliberals in the Thatcher mould and any form of nationalisation is anathema to them. Starmer has consistently refused to cancel the 2 child benefit cap which would cost £1.8 billion and lift 2 million children out of poverty but has committed to raising the ‘defence’ budget from 2.1% of GDP to 2.5%. He can find plenty of money to support the wars of the US but nothing for our kids. A recent report in the Lancet has estimated the real death toll in Gaza is over 170,000 with over 70,000 of them children. Starmer is a committed Zionist who has publicly defended Israel’s genocide in Gaza and has continued to do Starmer has recently said that public sector workers cannot expect the additional pay they have asked for to be forthcoming because of financial constraints, however, he refuses to apply a wealth task on the rich or put capital gains tax on an equal footing with income tax, moves which raise many billion. Public sector workers are not asking for pay rises, they are asking for pay restoration which would reinstate their pay levels to what they were 10 years ago before year on year of Tory wage freezes. Wes Streeting has said the NHS is broken, however, his solution is not to restore proper funding but to turn over large parts of NHS to American corporate interests. Because of deliberate underfunding of the NHS budget since 2010 the NHS has suffered a shortfall of over £200 billion. Any organisation would be on its knees after such financial abuse.
Off course brittish immigrants in France would celebrate - because labour has worked on it being easier to live and long vacation in France for Brits already before the election also if I was a Lorry driver I would so party on the beaches of Calais hopeing that a change in government could mean less soul numbing and EXPENSIVE ques over time just saying...now that would be logical to celebrate - probably not what that geezer meant.

The press knows that scandal and controversy sell papers and generate clicks. Attacking Labour is an easy way to create drama and keep their audience engaged. It's lazy journalism that prioritizes profit over truth. Moreover, many journalists are part of the same elite circles as Conservative politicians. They share similar backgrounds, education, and social networks. This creates an echo chamber where Labour's policies are seen as a threat to their way of life. In essence, the UK press's obsession with criticizing Labour is a mix of protecting their own interests, pandering to their audience, and maintaining their social status. It's not about providing valuable information to the public - it's about power and money. The UK press, particularly right-leaning outlets, relentlessly attack Labour because it serves their owners' interests. Many media moguls have close ties to the Conservative Party and benefit from their policies. They use their platforms to manipulate public opinion, protect their wealth, and maintain the status quo. These outlets aren't interested in balanced reporting or holding the government accountable. They're propaganda machines masquerading as news sources. They exploit people's fears and biases to keep the Conservatives in power and Labour out.
Well, the Tories had a "deal" lined up with Rwanda to deal with those "criminal" asylum seekers........strangely enough, not having an empire any more means that we don't have anywhere to send them....something the reform crowd hadn't got around to thinking about.....no surprise there then.
Jim Davidsons not aged well😂. As a former prison officer 1985 to 2006 agree. Where I struggle is green issues. Not on the need but on cost for Joe Bloggs. I can’t afford an EV or £16000 for a heat pump or a similar price to renew my double glazing. I don’t want to buy an older EV that could become a battery renewal right off. That’s my concern that eventually because I can’only afford Dirty diesel I will be forced off the road.

The thing with prisons is that Labour will be releasing those with sentences that are almost up and/or for minor reasons to free up room so there's room for worse criminals. Where as under the Tories these would have been deferred until there was room so those very people the papers are referring to were more likely to still be on the streets.
How could Starmer have charged him? The allegations were made post death. Did you want Starmer to invent a time machine to do this? Perhaps you think its the within the realm of possibility he had heard rumours before? possibly? it wasn't his job to tell Police to investigate persons or to arrange court dates based upon rumours.
You are right, particularly with adults. I cannot get my head around the adults who are supposedly intelligent enough to not have the ability to think critically and research to identify facts from fiction, mis-information dis- information. I've recently been given limitations to what I can see on a group due to the fact that I've challenged the groups administrator of some of the posts she puts on which is a load of dribble. But the ironic thing is they believe what they copy and paste. I'm not yet blocked, but there's time for her to do that😂
There won't be any adult education around critical thinking the Tories and reform rely too much on people not being able to think critically for that to happen

Well van man. Fact for 12 months Labour knew they were likely to be in power. They have talked about getting a migrant chief for 12 months.

For your consideration: Disinformation is not necessarily aimed at convincing anyone of a specific point of view; rather, it can be used to sow doubt, create confusion, or undermine trust. Ridiculing disinformation is ineffective, as it always leaves you a step behind. The damage occurs regardless of whether you directly engage with or amplify the false information. It's more effective to focus on the sources of disinformation rather than their content. Instead of repeatedly addressing the false content, it would be more impactful to call out the source multiple times while referencing the disinformation only once. Discredit the source, "the Daily Mail" or whoever, not the nonsense.
It will take years to iron out the 14 year Tory problems..... Make it decades, dude! Decades! I would say the Tories and their supporters in the media should lay down for at least one year before they start criticizing anything done by the Starmer government.
Immigration is necessary to fill the shortage gaps in skilled labour. Reform UK’s manifesto says it will improve NHS by cutting taxes for doctors and costs of education. Why not get fully trained doctors? Not to mention the population decline. And you are giving people a better life.

Most catastrophize have a starting point and a step back in time to Tony Blair / Gordon Brown the dynamic duo is a point in time when they took over an economy that was doing OK. They pushed us deeper into the EU then opened the door to unskilled eastern Europeans who by and large are a net drain, Blair set legislation into UK law on human rights (a nice earner for the family business) so we cant remove people effictively, pushed young people into University degrees with whopping fee loans, joined George W Bush into a war in Iraq under false evidence and destabilized the whole Islamic world and set them on the move, sold off our gold reserves at rock bottom prices and then allowed the Banking system to collapse and had to buy into these banks to stop the crash and handed over a note THERE IS NO MONEY LEFT to the Conservative / Liberal government. No wonder we have never really escaped AUSTERITY as we moved into BREXIT, COVID, UKRAINE WAR, ROCKETING FUEL and INTEREST RATES and MASS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

Starmer has recently said that public sector workers cannot expect the additional pay they have asked for to be forthcoming because of financial constraints, however, he refuses to apply a wealth task on the rich or put capital gains tax on an equal footing with income tax, moves which raise many billion. Public sector workers are not asking for pay rises, they are asking for pay restoration which would reinstate their pay levels to what they were 10 years ago before year on year of Tory wage freezes.
Wes Streeting has said the NHS is broken, however, his solution is not to restore proper funding but to turn over large parts of NHS to American corporate interests. Because of deliberate underfunding of the NHS budget since 2010 the NHS has suffered a shortfall of over £200 billion. Any organisation would be on its knees after such financial abuse.
Off course brittish immigrants in France would celebrate - because labour has worked on it being easier to live and long vacation in France for Brits already before the election also if I was a Lorry driver I would so party on the beaches of Calais hopeing that a change in government could mean less soul numbing and EXPENSIVE ques over time just saying...now that would be logical to celebrate - probably not what that geezer meant.
IGNORANCE IS BLISS
We need space in prison for those who robbed from the taxpayer…….during Covid for example.

The oil drilling contracts are mostly with foreign companies, aren't they?
The oil we will have to import to keep the uk going because of this gov will be from overseas as well , absolute stupidity from this gov especially in these unstable times
@@GeorgeGeorgeOnly my comment disappeared about imported oil ..how strange
@@stevedickson5853 Yeah! I get that a lot too. Try it again.

@dondoodat I don't see Stevedickson's reply.
@dondoodat That's right Don, but what you still don't know is if you've been 'hidden'. So the only way to check that out is with another YT account, or have a friend look for you.
Modern day slavery today comes under the title of job
The oil rig jobs are finished under starmer we will be held to ransom the idea being for the govt to raise revenue with the tax on oil
As a septuagenarian who lived a large portion of his life in and around Brighton, I confess that whilst listening I was confused by your route - just before you confessed to have gone the wrong way. 🙂
Plenty of rubbish dumped on the streets these days most people have forgot what a communal bin is for
Jim Davidson - my primary go to source for incisive and insightful analysis of world events.
Starmer should resign after Inger-land losing last night.
The press knows that scandal and controversy sell papers and generate clicks. Attacking Labour is an easy way to create drama and keep their audience engaged. It's lazy journalism that prioritizes profit over truth.
Moreover, many journalists are part of the same elite circles as Conservative politicians. They share similar backgrounds, education, and social networks. This creates an echo chamber where Labour's policies are seen as a threat to their way of life.
In essence, the UK press's obsession with criticizing Labour is a mix of protecting their own interests, pandering to their audience, and maintaining their social status. It's not about providing valuable information to the public - it's about power and money.
The UK press, particularly right-leaning outlets, relentlessly attack Labour because it serves their owners' interests. Many media moguls have close ties to the Conservative Party and benefit from their policies. They use their platforms to manipulate public opinion, protect their wealth, and maintain the status quo.
These outlets aren't interested in balanced reporting or holding the government accountable. They're propaganda machines masquerading as news sources. They exploit people's fears and biases to keep the Conservatives in power and Labour out.
Easy way to solve the prison crisis...Bring back penal transportation
Yeah where to?
Well, the Tories had a "deal" lined up with Rwanda to deal with those "criminal" asylum seekers........strangely enough, not having an empire any more means that we don't have anywhere to send them....something the reform crowd hadn't got around to thinking about.....no surprise there then.
Still managed to be completely on point, but "... I've gone the wrong way"
Ledge

Lovely tours of Brighton and the South Coast
Jim Davidsons not aged well😂. As a former prison officer 1985 to 2006 agree. Where I struggle is green issues. Not on the need but on cost for Joe Bloggs. I can’t afford an EV or £16000 for a heat pump or a similar price to renew my double glazing. I don’t want to buy an older EV that could become a battery renewal right off. That’s my concern that eventually because I can’only afford Dirty diesel I will be forced off the road.
Because of course controlling immigration was going so well under the Tories 😂
On your point of oil and gas. We still need them, plastics, resins, fertilizer all require an oil and gas industry.
Plastics use about 6% of crude oil production (source: British Plastics Federation). Crude oil is not used as an ingredient of fertilizer, only a fuel source in its manufacture.
@@nigelgarrett7970 the hydrogen is what is required in fertilizer… and oil and gas are hydrocarbons.
@@Deadjim17 There are plenty of other sources of hydrogen. Solar energy hydrolysis is one.
@@Deadjim17what? you mean NOT ammonium nitrate......cor blimey, every day a school day. Bovine s**t is apparently a natural fertiliser and gawd knows, there's been enough of that being spread around by the right wing and positively MASSIVE amounts by the extreme right wing, otherwise known as reform.
I hope starmer does follow the Covid money trail and prosecute.😊
I can stand Davidson.....it s just fake news after fake news....why are there si many gullible people who will believe all that ?.....low level of education...
The thing with prisons is that Labour will be releasing those with sentences that are almost up and/or for minor reasons to free up room so there's room for worse criminals. Where as under the Tories these would have been deferred until there was room so those very people the papers are referring to were more likely to still be on the streets.
The grooming gangs I would say had nothing to do with Starmer but the refusal to charge Jimmy Saville is another matter !!
How could Starmer have charged him? The allegations were made post death. Did you want Starmer to invent a time machine to do this? Perhaps you think its the within the realm of possibility he had heard rumours before? possibly? it wasn't his job to tell Police to investigate persons or to arrange court dates based upon rumours.
@@kirkhunter146 I don't get into the argument I will only say look into it yourself if you want to be proven wrong.
@EamonCoyle I think you need to look into it, mate. Then come back and tell me again how Keir Starmer refused to prosecute him.
@@RichieBedfellows Prove me wrong I made my statement on the matter !!
@@EamonCoyle Go read 'full fact: Keir Starmer Jimmy Saviile prosecution'
You are right, particularly with adults. I cannot get my head around the adults who are supposedly intelligent enough to not have the ability to think critically and research to identify facts from fiction, mis-information dis- information.
I've recently been given limitations to what I can see on a group due to the fact that I've challenged the groups administrator of some of the posts she puts on which is a load of dribble. But the ironic thing is they believe what they copy and paste. I'm not yet blocked, but there's time for her to do that😂
I agree. All those people who took the 'jabs' based on lack of evidence and forever changing lies form the establishment of all kinds.
There won't be any adult education around critical thinking the Tories and reform rely too much on people not being able to think critically for that to happen
Brilliant idea now Timpsons will be opening up new shops all over the UK ... put them to work cutting keys and glueing shoes together ... neo liberals are the best
Jim Davidson was a great 70's comedian, now he's just a knob
please...he was a piss poor comedian even back then! The whole new wave of comedy in the 80s came about entirely as a reaction to him and his dusty old conservativce club cohorts and their mother-in-law jokes.
Simply put, people could always stop deserving to go to prison? That might free things up a bit.
Well van man. Fact for 12 months Labour knew they were likely to be in power. They have talked about getting a migrant chief for 12 months. In power nobody identified nobody selected, migrant solution goes on the back burner whilst we wait and wait and wait and wait. Should have had a person ready to go not have done nothing.
Everything should be solved these days within the duration of a tiktok video for some people.😅
@@seriousoldman8997 They have had 12 months to tap someone up for this. They were ready to go with Timpson and 7 other new members of the Lords to join the cabinet. Finding somebody to head up a taskforce should have been even easier. This situation is crass.
By the time they find someone, do a deal wait whilst they hand notice in it will be next year. Yvette Cooper is fecking worse than Patel or Braverman.
The Tories were actually in power for 14 years yet did not implement a migrant solution....
@@garethjones9605 They had one called the Rwanda solution the Labour party has chosen to throw out of the window. Therefore it is their responsibility to replace it. So far all they have done is raised a fanfare at destroying something.
@@hughbasham4389this is a spoof post..right???
More of these stories will continue about what the Tories haven't been doing and hiding from us.
why..so they could start loading them onto prison ships and exporting them for profit. two weeks until overflow when starmer took over. american super prison system.
Press reform is needed ASAP!
your stepmom sounds like a****** legend
Jim Davidson was a good comedian in his day but a die hard Tory through and through.
At least his material's improved. He's funnier now than he ever was.
For your consideration: Disinformation is not necessarily aimed at convincing anyone of a specific point of view; rather, it can be used to sow doubt, create confusion, or undermine trust. Ridiculing disinformation is ineffective, as it always leaves you a step behind. The damage occurs regardless of whether you directly engage with or amplify the false information. It's more effective to focus on the sources of disinformation rather than their content. Instead of repeatedly addressing the false content, it would be more impactful to call out the source multiple times while referencing the disinformation only once. Discredit the source, "the Daily Mail" or whoever, not the nonsense.
We (Denmark) send foreign prisoners, that have a deportation order, after serving a sentence, to Kosovo. They have a surplus of prison space.
It will take years to iron out the 14 year Tory problems..... Make it decades, dude! Decades!
I would say the Tories and their supporters in the media should lay down for at least one year before they start criticizing anything done by the Starmer government.
Expect miracles after over ten years of Tory neglect
After the previous lab gov spent all the money you mean
5:19 - looks like no one told Rishi Sunak's wife she could go home...
It would be good if Labour repeals the Tories' Public Order Act.
Immigration is necessary to fill the shortage gaps in skilled labour. Reform UK’s manifesto says it will improve NHS by cutting taxes for doctors and costs of education. Why not get fully trained doctors? Not to mention the population decline. And you are giving people a better life.
How is Nigel going to fund that? We have not got a strong budget
int Keir Sharma in person? I thought he was?
was what? in person? yes he's in person everyday, you were right.
@@kirkhunter146 I thought so!
It’s the daily mail generation
I do believe in climate change, I do believe we need to move to renewable energy, but.. why not extract that oil and create/ keep jobs while we still can?
Belief does not mean its true. The evidence needs to be there.
Answer to your question do people do any research on the headlines they see big no they just want to slate the new labour goverment some folk won’t be happy till Nigel fararge and the likes of suella braveman are in charge then we will have no nhs no rights low wages and really broken country
Keep,up the good work from a life long labour supporter
So, if Starmer got these grooming gangs off, why are they being released from prison?!
Send jim over to france.
And give us all a big break 😂.
Ah non, monsieur! Gardez-le, je vous en prie!
@@robinholland1136 - indeed, the UK should be looking to re-build bridges with our neighbours in France, not polluting their environment with our cultural waste refuse. Thankfully the adults are back in charge, so some mature reconcilliation moves seems more likely than it did a few weeks ago.
One expects you to support the labour parties pay per mile scheme for drivers if it ever gets put in place that is.
Jim davidson is a tory!
Wot an old racist he is, good job not many follow him, except the Daily Mail.....
For those lacking critical thinking, ie: thick as mince bigots 'I heard' constitutes evidence! I once 'heard' of a guys cousins mate had his drink spiked, woke up in an alley with back pain only to discover he'd had a kidney stolen. Doesn't make it fact!😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well, prove me wrong, but I can tell you that my mate Dave is the mate of that guy's cousin's sister's dog walker and she tells me it was both kidneys. Fact!
@@robinholland1136 😂😂 Holy shit, so when somebody says 'I heard' as evidence, we should believe them!!😉

To many Americans you are not telling the truth!
5:18 _"They want people to work really, really hard, save lots of money..."_ - Said the man who made a fortune out of being a mediocre comedian telling cheap, formulaic gags to easily-pleased audiences. God, that must have been a real struggle.
And what, I ask is Jim Davitory's major contribution to the history and culture of the UK? A few second rate jokes, a thoroughly meaningless game show and a load of bile. A very bitter man, by the sound of it. I don't count what he has done as 'a hard day's work'. I reserve that for people who actually work to make the lives of others better. You know, people like doctors, nurses, teachers, the people who collect the bins, dinner ladies, volunteers in food banks (lots and lots of them now), those who care for the needs of the homeless, etc., etc. . . . But not for the ignorant and bigoted Mr Davixenophobe. What an absolute waste of space.
Is this guy drunk?
No need to be so crude!
Who?
No need for the preview
I have a similar member in my family who reads s***t about Trans people on Twitter. It’s all she ever goes on about. We dread her coming over to the house as it’s consumes the entire conversation 😮
Wtf has a comedian got to do very unfunny traitor in Westminster?
One week of this gov is wanting me to tear my hair out, another 5 years of this lot. Jeez
Dry those salty tears Steve.
@ricardoortez9812 I think they'll end up like the torys, on borrowed time, the vote share is incredibly thin , even Starmer got 11,000 + less votes than last time, says it all
Here's a question, Where do you stand, yes stand. On the on-going genocide in Gaza? And the Zionst ( Isreal lobby) financial influence on british politics, particularly within the labour party
I expect no response, but that becomes telling.
I don’t stand anywhere, I like to make a habit of not commentating on subjects I know nothing about
@@vanmantalks Fair play.
Most catastrophize have a starting point and a step back in time to Tony Blair / Gordon Brown the dynamic duo is a point in time when they took over an economy that was doing OK. They pushed us deeper into the EU then opened the door to unskilled eastern Europeans who by and large are a net drain, Blair set legislation into UK law on human rights (a nice earner for the family business) so we cant remove people effictively, pushed young people into University degrees with whopping fee loans, joined George W Bush into a war in Iraq under false evidence and destabilized the whole Islamic world and set them on the move, sold off our gold reserves at rock bottom prices and then allowed the Banking system to collapse and had to buy into these banks to stop the crash and handed over a note THERE IS NO MONEY LEFT to the Conservative / Liberal government.
No wonder we have never really escaped AUSTERITY as we moved into BREXIT, COVID, UKRAINE WAR, ROCKETING FUEL and INTEREST RATES and MASS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
What could possibly be the cause of our woes?
