Parole hearing farce

The news so far is that Ben's long delayed parole hearing was abandoned yesterday. From what I know so far, the Board made a huge error which meant the hearing couldn't continue. As more detail comes in I will fill in the gaps, both here and on facebook. When will this farce ever end? - EDITORS NOTE.

  4. When, oh when will we stop sitting on our hands and FORCE change. A hung parliament is a first baby step to getting through to those "in power." We DO NOT trust you, WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE in you. Under Labour our prison population has exploded by 91% in 13 years! Under the Tories it may well explode further with up to 100,000 in prison by 2013! Welcome to the Prison Island. Over 30% in prison are there for non-violent, non-sexual crimes. 14% of the prison population are "foreign nationals."

    STOP sitting on your hands!
