What did he expect them to do?  Cry?   Does he never think before he speaks - or is he just a plonker?

[david small]

Definitely an idealistic plonker.

[Canary42]

Poor old TATs, still smarting over their resounding defeat.

You lost, suck it up.

[sandyRoe]

I wonder who supplied the bubbly?

It couldn't have been journalists from the right-wing press, could it?

[naomi24]

Those I saw on television were met by their families/friends, sandyRoe.

 

Canary, it's not a matter of winning or losing - it's the Prime Minister's common sense that's in question. 

[ToraToraTora]

He probably thought they'd all go and join their local labour party!

[jackthehat]

I don't think that you have to be of any particular political affiliation to realise just what a shambles this has turned in to.

If he didn't expect the released prisoners, and their families, to thumb their noses at the authorities, it really shows the disconnect between things in his head and things out in the real world.

 

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

What on earth does he expect?!  They have every reason to celebrate.

[THECORBYLOON]

Would they not have celebrated just the same if the early release had remained as it was under the Tories?

[naomi24]

^Quite.

[douglas9401]

This kind of insight into the mental working of the politician goes a long way to explaining the state of the nation as we career headlong to third world status.

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

Shame his anger doesn't extend to seeing pensioners freeze, or that overpaid-train drivers get a whopping payrise.

I thought no domestic violence offenders were part of this scheme

Hollywood actor freed early from jail was back behind bars 48 hours later for 'assaulting his ex' https://mol.im/a/13869151 via https://dailym.ai/android

[douglas9401]

Surely 'former Hollywood actor turned Froot Loop'.

[max137]

A politician far from the real world what do they expect the lags knew the press would be waiting so as not to disappoint put on a show.

[sandyRoe]

The lags would rather have had 2 litre bottles of cider or tins of Stella.

If any really had champagne I'd bet it was given to them by journalists.

[bednobs]

Barry,  he WASN'T part of this scheme.

[max137]

sandy roe I suppose the press provided the Lamborghini as well.

[sandyRoe]

^. I wouldn't put it past them.

[max137]

sandy roe 15:01 the sort of answer I would expect when your point is rebuffed.

[saintpeter48]

What a tool (makers son) he is, what did he expect!

BTW, has he smashed to boat gangs yet - I thought not!!
