Now that Theresa May is on her way out of Downing Street, it is inevitable that the country is going to hear much more from Boris Johnson on all kinds of issues as he vies to be Prime Minister.
Days before May’s resignation, he was already sharing his views on Britain’s “soft” prisons and justice system. He decried parole boards as “slaves to political correctness” and accused them of taking risks with public safety.
“It is becoming more and more regular for prisoners to be let out early – even when they have been convicted of the most serious and violent crimes,” he tweeted. “People must feel safe on our streets and that punishment fits the crimes. People must have faith in the criminal justice system.”
