What an omnishambles at Petit France, at the Ministry of Justice where mishaps, mistakes, mismanagement and maladministration take place on a daily basis. What a mess. It is clearly "not fit for purpose". And that is to quote a former Home Secretary who set up the Ministry of Justice. Senior civil servants and the Justice Secretary need to "get a grip". It is beyond a joke, a Yes Minister episode, when the Prison Service is letting dangerous prisoners out into the community, putting lives at risk and failing to protect the public. Such failures make the Government and the criminal justice system a laughing stock, a field day for comedians and Private Eye magazine.
Some politicians are clearly not up to the job; they are clearly out of their depth. Changes are needed. They are absolutely necessary. Heads should role. It is time for accountability and responsibility in Government. The current situation is woefully unacceptable.
