But four men are still on the loose and police are combing the Oxfordshire countryside surrounding the centre.
Inspector Graham Sutherland, of Thames Valley Police, said that police and GPO knew how the men had escaped but could not release details.
"What I would say is that this wasn't a simple walk out. It was more planned and complicated than that. This was a planned escape".
The men escaped through the back of the centre, which is situated on the outskirts of Kidlington and close to Oxford. Police threw a cordon around the centre and 22 officers are searching the area, including outbuildings and sheds.
Details and pictures of the men have been circulated to officers throughout the Thames Valley Police area.
GOOD LUCK TO THE ESCAPEES!

Collaborator, Bill Smith

Oh you mean that scumbag ex-prison officer Bill Smith, 50, who shopped a desperate and barefooted aslum seeker who knocked on his door during the last escape?
It's the same Bill Smith, 50, of Evenlode Crescent who's been mouthing off about the latest rioting...
That scumbag wants deporting.

Then I think closer to the our times, and MI9 and the networks of the anarchist Maquis and communist French who brought writers like Samuel Beckett and Spanish republicans who fired the last shots against Franco in the forests together with Oxbridge classic scholars to solve simple problems.
What do you have in your place of detention which will be useful to your escape?
What can those outside do to ease your escape?
How can you find the way outside once you are outside?
Lastly, I think how those who can not really do anything useful for the escaped humans of yesterday or tomorrow in terms of finding a way... There is always something for everyone. We can't forget to stop the historical pikes thrust into hiding places in hope of a reward for returning a human to captivity. So we stop any hint of that. We can not allow the places of detention to be unknown to the detainees. It is harder to find a way if you don't know where you are.
We think in short words.........
"these escaped humans in the article above are not the first nor will be the last"

Resistance
20.06.2008 12:01
What often people do NOT understand, for some reason that I can't quite grasp, is that people are forced into 'illegality' by fear of being detained and deported. They can NOT go to Social Services or to the Immigration housing department (aka NASS) if they have no cases pending. In many quarters, the very idea of undergruond resistance is a totally unheard of concept. I wonder, as it can happen to any of us to be persecuted by the State any time, and especially now with the erosion of our civil liberties we are all en route to become illegals and terror suspects...

No human is illegal.

Complex problems and difficult issues are obfuscated by the mediocre language of our 21st century globalisation. As we are reduced to "human resources" those with the wit, luck or at times misfortune to leave the poorest or most unstable parts of our planet are termed "illegals". We are taught to see them as a terrorist threat if they come from muslim societies and thus learn to excuse the suspensions of civil or human rights and the denegation of justice. But complex problems can if tackled by complex minds be reduced to very simple solutions. (Such as the extraordinary and mostly unknown 20th century escape network I referred to in the comment above which to British readers will probably only be noticed for its MI9 component)
No human is illegal.
Papers for everyone.
You must know where you are.
Everyone can look different.
We could all do lots of useful work by updating the last really comprehensive map of detention and holding and processing centres for non-regularised migrants in Europe
Of course we can't go forgetting that we also need pay attention to dark prison sites. Just because they're not in the news much anymore doesn't mean they've gone away - you know.
If as we know migrants are not terrorists - then... not every terrorist is a migrant. Indeed as I touched on very briefly and obliquely in a piss-taking "Q&A article", Mr Sarkozy and Berlusconi not only want to make it easier to find humans and track them - they seem happy to forget that some people, be they migrants or terrorists or better off left out of jail.
It seems from one of the comments above that this Oxford story has a "nasty public spirited screw" angle. You can push that. But you could also do well to remember that Irene Sendler the saviour of 2,500 babies, of whom quite a few were twins destined for Mengele - escaped execution through a well placed bribe.
less waffle. more simple phrases.

Solidarity with refugees - An amazing tale
21.06.2008 14:29
This story at least details some of the amazing people working in solidarity with other people needing a safe place to live. That some people see through the bullshit spouted by the State (see the prison officers comment highlighted in the addition above) and act as humans that recognise other human beings in need distress. I thought this story from the mainstream media was great, inspiring and totally cuts to the quick of what should be obvious to everyone.
