The accidental release of the imported sex offender Hadush Kebatu from Chelmsford Gaol was not just a gross administrative error, but is also an event that is a microcosm of modern Britain. Granted that accidental releases have happened in the past under many different Home Secretaries from both main Westminster parties, this one feels and looks different. It feels different because it is part of a pattern of state failure that we are increasingly seeing across the board, not just in HM Prisons Service. We now have state failure in prisons, policing, healthcare, education, borders, the justice system, social care and much much more. I could fill reams of close typed examples of state failure in the UK from incidents such as the accidentally released foreign nonce, via the rape gang horror to a healthcare system whose maternity division has approximately 60% of its facilities being considered as ‘unsafe’. Britain has been mismanaged so badly and for so long that maybe it’s time to change the traditional national anthem of ‘God Save The King’ to something that reflects the mess that Britain has been turned into by our political and administrative classes?
The police who should have caught this nonce are also illustrative of state failure. The police didn’t capture this criminal despite a vast amount of information floating around about him and it was down to members of the public to do the spotting that caught this man. Whilst accepting that police cannot police without the help and consent of the public, I would have expected much more visible effort from both the Metropolitan and Essex Police forces being displayed. Police forces such as the aforementioned are just two of those that are gung ho for cracking down on ‘speech crimes’ by Britons but have turned out to be worse than useless when trying to recapture a dangerous, imported and unwanted sex offender.
Poor management, possible dubious hiring practises, underfunding, poor resource use choices and the sort of weapons grade incompetence that I’ve seen by the ton right across the public sector, played a massive part in the release of this nonce. Nobody seems to have properly checked at any stage during what I believe is a lengthy pre-release process, whether this relatively high profile prisoner should be released into the community.
Nothing about this massive screw up is unique, it’s the sort of cock up that’s now ‘normal for Britain’. It’s the sort of error that we find in education, social services, healthcare, the defence establishment and just about any environment where the state is the primary controller or where the state sets the agenda for an organisation.
We are in a mess of our Establishment’s own making. That mess will eat the entire nation if it is not cleared up but the clearing up is going to end up being socially and politically brutal but leaving the situation as it is is no real good answer either.
Oh and that suggestion for a new, more appropriate national anthem? Well why not Yakety Sax a tune also known as the ‘Benny Hill chase music’. It and its association with the slapstick chases of the late Mr Hill, says a great deal about Britain and the mess we are in.
And here it is.

With our sociopathic PM Starmer’s aspirations of a Digital Slavery state, the track “Every Breath You Take” by the appropriately named “The Police” fits very well, the words would only need a minor tweak.
As for our real police, utterly politically compromised and dangerously partisan, who have seamlessly morphed into a melding of the Gestapo, KGB and Shariah enforcement.
For a glimpse of what’s to come and is already happening, may I recommend next weekends film, “Children of Men” especially if you look at all of the subjects within, the speech suppression, societal decay, rundown scenery, censorship Stasi-like police, masked Muslim marches and persecuted populations in the rubble strewn, shit-holes the cities have turned into.
I am going to send you a report on the state of “policing” in London. All it took was a few questions using CoPilot which did all of the screen-scraping, collation and heavy lifting that would have taken me many hours or more likely days.
You have to ask the right questions, but it draws some damning conclusions. I also avoid using political party names and others to avoid colouring the responses.
I have been involved on crime prevention groups for decades, flagged these points since the early nineties and seen the transformation of the police from public defence and protection into something to be feared and avoided as far as possible. God help us if Digital Identity Slavery comes about although we could be saved with the UK government of all colours institutional incompetence and well documented failures with IT databases.
For anyone reading, here’s a TV series from 1978 that scared the crap out of me, a dystopian future UK that I feared as possible then and unfolding under a dangerously authoritarian Labour government headed by a sociopathic Prime Minister who oxymoronically poses as a human rights lawyer, who helped draft a human rights act that both removed and qualified our “rights” to the extent that when you actually read it, we have none apart from what the state allows at any particular time.

“Accidental” release, my arse. It was designed to provoke public protests that Stalin and Mahmood would smear as “far right” to bring in Draconian control under the fluffy sounding “Civil Contingencies Act”.
But it didn’t work because the British aren’t like that as Tommy Robinson’s rally proved despite the disgraceful Plods trying to provoke something by siphoning in the Paliwankers and Leftists at one point.
Here’s the thing, the MetPlod Gestapo had no problem in stopping a UKIP march on Tower Hamletstan, but can’t seem to stop the hard Left Socialist W4nkers Party or various protests of violent peace, facemasked and waving their swastika-equivalent Fakestine flags, while hounding anyone who looks too Jewish or who objects. We are in a very dark and dangerous place.
If one reads the recent book by Alex Belfield, “Surviving the Slammer”, one will understand why such an incident (and hundreds of others each year) occur. The Warders are recruited from (mainly) uneducated, young persons who do not know, nor follow, the Prison Regulations. Prisons are not fit for purpose – in fact nobody seems to know what the purpose(s) is/are.
Many Warders are caught every year carrying-in drugs and mobile phones for the inmates, or having sex with them. The whole prison service is a shambles.
Alex’s book is a real eye-opener about a system that is rotten to the core.
