Do we think Lucifer will have seen this news and escape and start planning her escape on her post it’s 🫣

Well that was fun while it lasted. i was soooooo invested lmao.
I assumed early on he was just a opportunist who had probably noticed this lorry turning up to drop food every day, maybe they were never many prison guards around at this point and he started thinking how easy it would be to simply hide under it. Came up with an idea inside his cell and that was it, no real plan once he had actually escaped and basically just winged it. hes 21, a bit dorky looking with very minimal basic army training. the sensalationist media just hyped up his 'trained solider' status and 'links to iran' for clicks. I'm seeing so many people on twitter wondering what the big deal of finding him was for though.... i mean isnt it kinda obvious? the UK can not let a 21yr old kid (well anyone really) escape from prison, with 150 plus highly trained counter-terrorism officers, mi5, mi6 all looking for him and failing to do so? what would that look like? to current prisoners, to the public, to the world even!! it was to save face obviously, not that hes a particularly dangerous individual. its no wonder they threw all the resources they had plus the kitchen sink at it.

theres a lot of talk about wandsworth being grossly understaffed and this being the reason he was able to escape... could it not be down to sheer incompetence? people failing to do their jobs correctly? the security guards checking the lorry on the way in/out, maybe they didnt really do a thorougher job like they are supposed to? quick glance with a mirror and gave it the go ahead to leave. we got to remember, its extremely rare that something like this would even happen, its not like they would be expecting it, it was a huge lorry, you would have to kneel down and really have a good look to make sure and maybe they just gave it a quick glance with their mirror sticks and flagged it off. it might have been really that simple.

i do wonder where he got the sleeping bag from and the waitrose cool bag full of food and drinks. this implies he at least had some low level help.
a bike would be easy to steal maybe, some clothes off someones washing line, but i noticed he was wearing a grey pair of adidas trainers in the pictures of his arrest. shoes would be harder to simply steal out of someones garden (doubt they'd be lying about) same goes for the sleeping bag and the convenient bag of food & drink.... so yeah. questions are where he got those items from. i would guess he went to a friends house and they helped him with some essentials. if so, they should be expecting a knock at the door soon!

Not this guy being thirsted over now too

He really did look like Daniel khalife though

Another issue at Wandsworth

Twitter has been a goldmine

Feel like this finished before it even started. I can't believe he was only 15 mins from the prison having a jolly on a bike and talking to people! He's in court later today, think he will be put in a cat A now.

I'm desperate to hear the ins and outs of what he got up to on his jollies

I can’t be the only one mildly amused by the fact the BBC are referring to his “alleged” escape

hahhaha I literally came on here to say the same after just watched bbc news the reporter even corrected himself when he didn’t say it they’ve obviously got to follow procedure because it’s now a court case so innocent until proven guilty but still funny, call a spade a spade

I am loving how this has gone from a super organised escape with strapping under neath the van, probably helped by Iran and him being long gone to…. He tied himself under the van with a bedsheet and was pretty much round the corner

I remember when the police helicopter crashed into that bar in Scotland, the BBC were showing footage from the scene where you could clearly see the word POLICE on the side of the helicopter yet they were saying “unconfirmed reports suggest it could have been a police helicopter”.

He probably did it for a dare.

I don't think that defence will stand up in court

It comes across as this was a storm in a teacup doesn't it?

MILITARY IRAN SPY MAKES DARING ESCAPE...oh hang on...

UK escapee gets 15mins away from the prison, rides a bike, shops at Waitrose and sleeps on a bench.
USA escapee hides out for days, steals a car, breaks into someone’s home gets shot at but not hit, ends up stealing the gun used against him. Still on the run now with a gun with bullets.

I see his mum is now claiming mental illness.

Yea I don't think they're going to need Harrison Ford for the dramatisation after all

There are a few weird aspects of this case...like hes been called a terrorist, but hasn't even had his trial yet - he's on remand for making fake bombs and eliciting or trying to elicit material that could be handy to a foreign regime.

The fake bombs I read were just cans with wires hanging out of them....so does that justify remand waiting for trial? or is there something else bigger that's been hushed up?

and then the size of the police response was wild - he's not been convicted or charged with anything violent, so I find the police response quite heavy handed. Prisoners do escape, not very often though. This is the first one thats had this manhunt element to it.

It always made me laugh slightly when people who hadn't read beyond the headlines referred to him as a terrorist with the idea in mind of a "traditional" terrorist that would be deemed an active danger to society

Yet even when he escaped he didn't seem to pose that much of a danger and went for a nice bike ride and planned a picnic. He clearly seemed to have help from someone so the active and public man hunt element to this makes me think that he wasn't deemed worthy of some sort of intelligence focus (tracking phones of relatives and that) as they seemed to depend a lot on the public spotting him. A bit silly if you think about it really

He's pleaded not guilty to escaping custody
