A UK politics story just to show our lot are as bunglingly useless as their American counterparts.
The UK's Home Secretary Charles Clarke (the man responsible for the safety of UK citizens) is being urged to resign (again) today after setting free 1,023 foreign prisoners instead of deporting them, as the law requires.

Clarke has lost something, and I'm not talking about his razor.
Of these 1,023, there are a number of murderers and rapists. Under UK law, foreign prisoners are immediately deported following completion of their sentences, provided those sentences last for 1 year or more. EU citizens are deported if they have served senetences of 2 years or more. Clarke's 'mishap' has left dangerous criminals on the streets, most likely unemployed and living off benefits paid for by law abiding tax payers.
But it's alright-
'I do apologise. I have apologised, I continue to do so'
-Charles Clarke
Well, that makes it OK then.
Clarke has also admitted that 288 of these offenders were released into the community after Clarke's office were informed that this was happening, and yet they failed to do anything about it. He also admits that his department have no idea where these people are.
Um... resign???
