Kitchens Banned After Terrorists Allowed Their Own Cooking Facilities in UK Jails Despite Getting Three Meals A Day

The barbaric assault on three prison officers by Manchester Arena terrorist Hashim Abedi – brother of suicide bomber Salman Abedi, who murdered 22 people in 2017 – has shaken the already strained criminal justice system. Vile Abedi attacked staff with hot cooking oil and self-fashioned knives apparently made out of cooking equipment…

So how was Abedi – who is being held in the most secure location inside the entire UK prison estate, a segregation unit at HMP Frankland in County Durham – able to access his weapons? Bizarrely, Britain’s most dangerous prisoners are allowed to cook for themselves or as a hobby to pass the time. As Chair of the Prison Officers’ Association Mark Fairhurst explains:

“I’m absolutely furious that terrorist prisoners, who pose such a significant risk to national security, are allowed the same freedoms and privileges as prisoners on normal location. We should not be allowing prisoners in separation centres to access cooking facilities, so they have the resources and implements that can inflict violence on staff. There’s only one way to reduce the risk and prevent this ever happening again, and to reduce the risk, you have to stop prisoners’ access to kitchens, because we’re worried about copycat incidents. They get prison food, they get three meals a day. Why do they need to cook?”

Meanwhile, as many as 4.8 million people in the UK, many of whom are working, are said to live without access to their own cooking facilities or basic household appliances. As well as paying for meals for scumbag terrorists, are we supposed to fork out for their private cooking facilities as well?

The BBC now reports that the government “has suspended kitchen use in prison separation centres that are used to house a small number of the UK’s most dangerous and extremist inmates, it is understood.” Too late for some…
