People in the United Kingdom imprisoned on terrorism convictions shouldn’t be released early from their sentences, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, one day after a criminal who was let out early stabbed people at Fishmongers’ Hall near London Bridge.
“It’s clear to me this guy was out—he served half of his sentence, he was out on automatic, early release—and I have long said that this system isn’t working,” Johnson told reporters on Nov. 30, standing near the scene of the stabbing.
