It never stops

I’m reading Prey by Jon A. Gored, 2001 vintage, and the coppers were complaining back then about the Labour government – New Labour – letting criminals out of gaol early so they could vote Labour.
    Just like Smarmer’s Army are doing a quarter of a century later. Looks like get out of gaol free is an eternal essence of being Labour. And if Labour stops sending women to gaol, all the male crooks will be identifying as female and Labour’s cash from the prison officers’ union will dry up because the job will vanish!
