How can you release a migrant sex offender ‘in error’? Is it because they all look the same? It must be so easy to get confused if you are a prison officer. Perhaps, as Hadush Kebatu – an Ethiopian sex offender who was due for deportation – was being led to the prison doors, he was asked Monty Python style to confirm that he was being deported. “No, freedom; they said I hadn’t done anything wrong and I was free to go.” To which the prison officer replied, “Off you go then.”
Now we have a massive ‘manhunt’ (are we still allowed to say that?) going on for Kebatu who was last seen boarding a bus for London. My guess, since sex offenders tend to be addicted to sex offending, that he’ll be easy to find. Just follow the trail of women who are being molested in London.
In other news, the name of the killer of Harvey Wildgoose – a student at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield – was released. Turns out that, while Mohammed (and variations thereof) is the most popular name for boys in the UK, it is also a remarkably popular name for knife wielding representatives of the religion of peace.
Mohammed Umar Khan was the stabber. I have family in Sheffield and it was common knowledge that the killer was a Muslim but, under our repressive pro-Islamic state, it would have taken a brave person to say that ahead of time on social media.
The judge, Mrs Justice Naomi Ellenbogen, explaining why the name had not been released in the run up to the trial said that it had nothing to do with Khan’s age. She did not say what, in fact, it had to do with, but I think we can be sure that it was due to the killer’s name. If the killer had been called Freddie Smith we’d have known immediately. Also, who knew that Muslim kids went to Catholic schools? Well, 10% of the non-Catholic students voluntary aided Catholic schools are obliged by the state to take are Muslims.
And in yet other news, our eagle-eyed editor spotted, as my From the Man Cave XVIII was going to press, that my figure of a mere 42 criminals having been deported to France under the ‘one in, one out’ fiasco was in fact a meagre net 41. One of the buggers had slipped back across the Channel on a small boat. Like that was never going to happen.
We don’t know the man’s identity, but we know that he is an Iranian (whoopee) as he has been in contact with someone, a woman who is clearly more sympathetic to his plight than I am. The woman is Maddie Harris, director of Humans for Rights Network (what else?). As I write this, Maddie is being waterboarded by Kent Constabulary in an effort to find the man’s identity (only joking).
We do know, via Maddie Harris, that the returnee claims ‘to have been a victim of modern slavery at the hands of smuggling gangs in France.’ So, we are expected to believe, as a victim of the smuggling gangs, he had the wherewithal to hand them over a few more thousand pounds for another passage to the land of milk, honey and endless benefits.
Pull the other one Mohammed (just guessing). France borders with eight countries and, with the exceptions of Monaco and Andorra which are heavily guarded tax havens, he could have slipped into any of the others. Mind you, Italy is getting a tad tetchy about its migrants, so maybe best avoided these days.
While we are on the topic of Muslim fundamentalists, our glorious sovereign, head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith, Charles III and his adulterous wife have been spotted praying in the Vatican. This has been reacted to scornfully by all right-thinking Catholics who – and I include myself amongst them – are already beginning to despair of the relatively new papacy of Leo XIV. If he’s not blessing lumps of ice, he is giving it large about ‘the poor’ and migrants as in his latest Pope Francis inspired Apostolic Exhortation Dilexi Te (I have loved you). However, we await with great expectation, the Pope’s invitation to Sarah Mullally to visit the Vatican; that ought to be good.
News of the Grand Mufti of Highgrove being allowed into the Vatican came hot on the heels of the news that the Vatican had set aside a room for Muslim scholars using the Vatican library to pray. It is being played down as just being a ‘room with carpet’ and Catholic convert and former Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, Gavin Ashenden, has made light of it as just being a common courtesy. I think we can count the number of rooms set aside in centres of Islamic scholarship for Christian worship on the fingers of both Abu Hamza al-Masri’s hands.

It’s possible that the truth is even stranger…
The “Monty Python” accidental release of dangerous criminals from prison, is beyond belief. And yes, follow the trail of the women assaulted in London, to find – at least – the sex offenders among them. Shocking.
The whole migrant crisis is out of control and it is difficult to see how it can be fixed at this stage, without a Trump-like figure, with Trumpian determination to fix it. Words, as we have already found, are cheap and there isn’t a politician in the land who will not find the right words to lull us into a false sense of security: their party will be the fixer-upper, just vote for them. Ach away!
I don’t have much time right now but would like to return to this article later – it goes without saying, really, that Roger Watson is on the button, both about the political scandalous accidental release of dangerous prisoners and the religious scandals taking place in the Vatican.
For years now, there has been some fightback in the Catholic Church and it is ramping up now, with the publication of “An Open Letter to the Catholic Bishops, Priests, Religious and Faithful
2 from the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, a Religious Order of monks based in Papa Stronsay, Orkneys. The letter is published on their website. They originate in New Zealand, and most of the monks don’t seem to be Scots but, as well as reading their damning Open Letter, I have been encouraged to hear that New Zealand accent from their Superior, Fr Michael Mary, in an interview broadcast on YouTube, entitled Transalpine Redemptorists Repudiate ‘Synodal Church,’ Vatican II. The key errors spread by Francis the First (and we hope, Last), and now tolerated, if not promoted, by Leo, are set out for all the world to see. In that letter alone, we see the crisis of the Church as it has unfolded since the 1960s. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in understanding what it going on in the Catholic Church today. And how it affects the entire world.
Once again, in my humble opinion, Roger Watson’s hilarious wit and concise writing are second to none. Brilliant.
Do these ‘right-on’ places (strangely, or probably not, now including the Vatican) with Moslem Prayer Rooms (don’t the other Faiths ever get a room?) operate the same policy that came into being when employees slipping out for many ten minute ciggie breaks were told they must work extra time to compensate? As cigarettes then became the target of the righteous, is it only a matter of time before Moslem Prayer Room providers realise these might also be hazardous to the health of others? I think we know the answer to that one.
Great article Roger it seems that the police force is being run by raving idiots.We definitely need to bring back hanging for sex crimes its the only way to keep the ladies safe and also a piece of rope is a lot cheaper than a jail term and there will be no repeat offenders.
Charles the Third’s wife isn’t the only adulterous one in that partnership. Charles the Third is as guilty as she is. I don’t want to be picky, but nobody ever seems to mention this. Not that I’m a fan of his wife.
Since Roger Watson’s article was published this morning, I suppose I’m not alone in celebrating the good news that Kebatu has been recaptured, arrested and is set to be deported this week. One down, countless others (hopefully) to follow.
It is startling to think that this man came into England on a small boat as recently as June – four months ago. And instead of being thankful to be safely here, and settling down to enjoy his work-free, somewhat pampered life in a top hotel, he assaulted several girls and young women. To then be accidentally released from prison, beggars belief.
Roger’s description of the way the names of Muslim suspects/offenders are withheld is, like so many other parts of his article, hilarious. “… If the killer had been called Freddie Smith we’d have known immediately.” Absolutely.
I despair of the whole small boats/illegal migrants thing. I can’t see an end to it because, for some reason that is very difficult to understand, politicians in every party seem to be ready and willing to tolerate the invasions from France, if not quite welcome them. It’s incomprehensible to those of who are simple souls. Incomprehensible.
As is the ignorance on show over at the Telegraph where they are reporting on the King & Pope praying together. The hapless journalist writes that this did not happen before the Reformation not even in ecumenical services! Blissfully unaware, it seems, that there were no ecumenical services at that time, since we were all Catholics. And when the Reformation began for real, there were strong feelings on both side, and deaths on both sides, but no complaints, no demands for reparations because each side believed that truth was more important even, than life itself. Changed days.
Back to Roger Watson’s article: the startling, if humorous, account of “Maddie Harris, director of Humans for Rights Network (what else?)” assisting the illegal migrant who was sent back under the ridiculous one-in/one-out scheme, only to slip back in, again illegally, is – once more – in the category of “you couldn’t make this stuff up”.
I’d finish with a jibe about the fools who run the country but, in conscience, I have to admit that I’m not the first to make this allegation in public. I’m reminded of the story (not sure if it’s true) about the man who was arrested in London, during World War II, for calling Winston Churchill a fool.
The next day in the House of Commons, the opposition members were ready to roast the government for this. “Are we living in a police state”, they shouted, “where we cannot call the PM a fool”? Churchill’s reply: “The man was not arrested for calling the Prime Minister a fool, but for letting out a state secret at a time of war”.
These benefit seeking invaders don’t sexually run amok against women and girls in their countries of origin because the authorities and communities there would take violent action against them – something our authorities and the ‘right-on’ community fail to see as befitting a ‘civilised’ state.
Bagaimana mungkin seorang pelaku kejahatan seksual bisa dibebaskan “karena kesalahan administratif”? Apakah ini mencerminkan kegagalan sistemik atau sekadar kelalaian individu?
