Apropos of nothing. I was once involved in a case many moons ago where a helpful member of the public called the police on a group of men acting suspiciously. A couple of diligent police officers turned up, back up was called, arrests were made etc.

Interesting eg of how views can change when people have to deal with the real life consequences of policy failure. Housing support has fallen way below rents, meaning large numbers of people on low incomes face hunger, hardship & homelessness. Massive knock on effects & cost for local authorities.

Is welfare spending ''out of control''? It's estimated to be 11.1 per cent of GDP this financial year. That's just 1.1 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen by 0.9 per cent of GDP since 2012-13 ⤵️

I have enormous sympathy with people angry that the political vandalism of our prison system is forcing the (even earlier) release of prisoners. It is a scandal. But deciding who does and does not get released on the basis of the volume of public outcry at their crime is the road to madness.
