The British state is failing. Failing in its fundamental job of protecting citizens.
In just a fortnight, two foreign nationals have been mistakenly released from prison, one week after the Epping sex offender Hadush Kebatu was deported after his epic failure, which led to his untimely release, another manhunt has been launched for Brahim Khaddour-Cherif, an Algerian convict who sauntered out of HMP Wandsworth.
He is not believed to be an asylum seeker, but is understood to have been endurance mile for trespass with intent to steal. Thanks to institutional failures, he is now at large.
Amazingly, extraordinarily incompetently, it took six days for His Majesty's Prison, Wandsworth, to notify the police, as warders may not even have noticed he wasn't in his cell.

Perhaps he left the pillows neatly there with a football as a head.
In Prime Minister's Questions today, the Deputy Prime Minister and Lord High Chancellor, David Lammy refused again and again to say whether more migrants had been mistakenly released.
Well, perhaps the Lord Chancellor should have been asked who came before Henry VII anyway.
Moments after Prime Minister's Questions, James Cartlidge revealed a second manhunt was in fact already underway.

Later this afternoon, it was revealed that on Monday November 3, 35-year-old William Smith, known as Billy, was released from HMP Wandsworth by accident the same day as he was sentenced to 45 months for multiple fraud offences.
Today's news is the latest example of a failing state. Our borders are still not controlled.
An Iranian migrant deported under the Government's one in, one out scheme, did the hokey cokey and managed to return to Britain less than a month later, sailing back on another small boat - it was jolly boating weather! He remained in the country for over two weeks before any action was taken, but finally was removed today.
Asylum claims have hit a record high, the highest in Europe, because Labour opened the door to illegal aliens and removed all the deterrents for those planning to come here.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
While administrative failures continue, violent crimes shake public confidence further.
A Sudanese asylum seeker stalked and murdered a young hotel worker in Walsall, stabbing the young mother 23 times with a screwdriver as she travelled home from work.
A Somali migrant whose asylum claim had recently been rejected, killed a man in a Derby bank just hours after threatening to kill 500 people.
That is to say nothing of the countless cases of illegal migrants with criminal records being allowed to stay on frivolous human rights grounds, as absurd as a propensity for chicken nuggets and fake baptisms.
Across prisons, borders, the Home Office and the courts, the institutions are supposed to keep citizens safe.
Delayed decisions, bungled procedures, missed paperwork, ignored warnings has left ministers scrambling to explain events only after they've been exposed by public opprobrium by the media.
The British state isn't just strained, it's failing in its basic duty to keep us safe.
A country that cannot control its borders, cannot lock up criminals and cannot protect its citizens deserves a better Government as ever.
