I went to work in Finland in the '90s and I was invited to the company's Christmas Party which was held on a boat cruise around the bay that goes as far as Russia. There was complete mayhem on board with so many drunk, good people partying to the extreme. Because of bad behaviour the security on the boat put people in the ship's cell on the lowest deck below the water line. However, because of high volumes of bad behaviour, there were many awaiting the cell, so they were limited to 5 minutes in the cell. It became the "in thing" to serve 5 minutes, or multiples @ 5 minutes each time, in the cell. It became a badge of honour. Of course, Two-Tier Keir Stalin sees the problem as an opportunity to bring in "digital IDs" so that China style Token Society can be introduced into the UK, as planned. For your information, the Token system was first experimented during the '50s in a Japanese Mental Asylum. The Globalist Cabal believes we are mental patients in there asylum, obviously.

It is profoundly troubling to see that dangerous individuals are wandering our streets, posing a significant risk to public safety and well-being. This escalating threat highlights a severe lapse in both responsibility and leadership. Keir Starmer, as a pivotal figure responsible for shaping our approach to public safety, needs to tackle these challenges directly and urgently. The increasing incidence of such threats demands a swift and effective response to safeguard our communities and prevent further harm. In light of these growing dangers, it may be necessary to explore innovative alternatives to traditional incarceration methods. Finding new strategies to address and mitigate crime could be crucial in enhancing our overall safety and reducing the risk of future incidents.
