economist chaser anyone figure the costs of 10k prison spaces per year? What's the funding? iamjohnoliver

And pay for it with higher taxes.

Paranoia and prisons, wow. He really is the UK Trump

Great accomplishments indeed.

😬

Stop and search to uncover any action on all your promises and where to find the money tree🤡

He wants to turn you into America. Soon, you can have massive gun deaths, police murders and all the rest! Idiots.

Congrats UK... 🤨

Yup. That’s the solution. Lock ‘em up. Of course people will be racially profiled under these powers, so their will be a disproportionate number of non-whites and Muslims, and of course the poor will be hardest hit. Johnson like Trump is a racist through and through.

The British version of Donald Trump encouraging racial profiling & incarcerating people instead of going to the root of societal problems.

Next move...private for profit prisons in the UK After that...round up 'illegals ' and detain them indefinitely...at taxpayers expense, of course

Because racial profiling and massive over incarceration works so well here in the US

Load of shit. Johnson comes from the Trump school of waffle sound bites and lies.

Is this his version of an infrastructure program?

You don’t need to spend billions creating new prison places for knife carrying little savages & the like, if you stop imprisoning people for marijuana related ‘offenses’. And now, in the face of brexit, is the perfect to time to fully legalise marijuana; huge tax money & jobs!

I never thought I would see African president in Europe and America. So shallow in their brains

Where have I seen this racist piece of 💩 before🤔

It just keeps on getting better.

Lefties will scream : they want prisoners packed together in tiny cells.

JFC

Releasing a lot of people with six month sentences or less on tags would create a lot of space. There are too many people in prison and the conditions for staff and prisoners is frankly absolutely dreadful.

Imagine the kind of person that would support this man. Imagine the mind. Like a swamp.

T&C's : 'This particular insanity is not available in Northern Ireland '.

Awesome... you elected Canada's former P.M. Stephen Harper - welcome to fascism.

FascisminrheUk

OH look at you England! You've got you're own little Trump.

Wonder who they’ll be stopping and searching? ...actually, I already know.

Is this the plan for protestors when the food and meds run out over there?

About time.

Sure sure, with what money ? It also takes time to build prisons.
