🕵️♂️💸No headlines. No interviews. No urgent question time. Just a cool £240,000 of your hard-earned tax money handed over to a convicted killer — and not a single peep from national TV. Because when Parliament isn’t sitting, the truth can take a holiday too. ☀️📺
🧼 Spin, Silence & The Art of Incompetent Camouflage
Ministers knew exactly when to let this slip out. While MPs were off dodging accountability and sipping lattes in their second homes, the taxpayer got saddled with a compensation bill — not because someone was innocent, but because prison life wasn’t comfy enough.
Enter the European Convention on Human Rights. And the real winners? Not the victims. Not the public. But human rights lawyers stuffing their silk-lined pockets with legal aid cash faster than you can say “Article 3 breach.” 💼💷
Let’s not forget:
We’re losing prisoners out the front door.
Now we’re pampering the ones who stay.
And you — the person who pays for it all — get told absolutely nothing.
“Oh, but it’s just one case,” they say.
Except it’s not. It’s one very big drop in a very big ocean of payouts, legal fees, and systemic decay where criminals cash in, and public trust drains out.
Meanwhile, frontline workers?
Still waiting.
Still underfunded.
Still told there’s “no money left.”
🔥Challenges🔥
Why is this never covered properly?
Why do we find out after it’s too late?
And when will MPs stop hiding behind recesses and start showing up for us?
