The latest home office fiasco has demonstrated why Charles Clarke is earning his nickname: “Jockstrap” (because he is full of b*llocks).

Not content with inadvertently releasing over a thousand foreign prisoners, it’s now clear that the Home Office freed 288 foreign prisoners after they became aware of the problem last summer! In all, the home office released 1023 offenders between February 1999 and March 2006. They included those guilty of serious offenses including drug dealing, rape, murder and pedophilia.

Despite this, Ol’ Charlie insists that he wont quit.

What is worrying about this affair is that the Home Office only admitted to these string of blunders after persistent questions in the house of commons from conservative MP Richard Bacon.

If we cant trust the Home Office to either keep tabs on, or deport convicted non-UK prisoners following completion of their sentence, how can they be trusted with anything?

How can they be trusted with ID Cards?

The simple answer is…they cant! And I for one am looking to renew my passport in May to resist compulsory registration on ID cards as long as possible.

…I’d advise you to do the same!
