    Yes but the thrust of the thread which he started himself and his comments within it is support for capital punishment.
    I've said myself on this thread that, in most cases, a conviction for murder should mean life. I don't find it remotely strange that he chose to quote the case of an asylum seeker either. People do read and remember what views others put forward over the years.

    I believe this is every UK based 24 hour news channel in the country and therefore all that would be considered mainstream...

    Currently, as Serbia isn't in the EU you would expect a convicted murderer to be included on at least one of the Interpol databases (they've got 19 in total) - along with enough details for facing recognition and fingerprints. My issue is whether we are routinely checking those applying for asylum against such resources - which would be a failure at the Home Office in not identifying him and immediately deporting him back to Serbia to serve his sentence - or whether his details were not added to the Interpol database by the Serbian authorities - in which case, its much harder to identify him as a wanted convict.

    This is a question that Braverman urgently needs to answer - although it was most likely one of the previous incumbents in the Home Office when he arrived here.

    Prisons are overcrowded, understaffed, drug taking is high and assaults on staff are at record highs. Until those issues are addressed the rehabilitation process will be hard.
