Following last month's reported stabbing incident at a Taylor Swift-themed dance studio in Southport, England, thousands of Brits have stormed the streets all over the U.K. to call for an immediate end to illegal migration. U.K. police, working on behalf of the political establishment, have been rounding up these protesters for punishment, though with nowhere to toss them due to prison overcrowding.
To make way for the boxcars to bring in a fresh supply of prisoners, this time from the protest pools rather than from actual criminal syndicates, the British government enacted Operation Early Dawn to replace criminals with citizens at U.K. prisons.

One of newly elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's first priorities was to enact Operation Early Dawn as a means to open up space at prisons, particularly in the regions of Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Manchester, Merseyside, the North East and Yorkshire.
Another component of Operation Early Dawn, spearheaded by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, is to considerably reduce the mandatory prison time served before parole by upwards of 50 percent for some inmates, which would result in the near-immediate release of thousands of criminals in September and October of this year.
Operation Early Dawn was branded as a type of criminal justice reform, but the truth behind its purpose is now on full display. It is simply a means through which the powers that be (TPTB) in England are planning to silence all dissent about the UK's rampant illegal migrant problem.
"We inherited a justice system in crisis and exposed to shocks," commented Prisons Minister James Timpson. "As a result, we have been forced into making difficult but necessary decisions to keep it operating."
Law enforcement throughout the U.K. is upset about the changes and the potential impacts they might have on police operations. Mark Fairhurst, a representative of the Prison Officers' Association, warned that Operation Early Dawn is just "justice delayed at the moment because we are now clogging up police cells, so they might have to delay some of their operations."
Deputy Chief Constable Nev Kemp of the National Police Chiefs' Council countered this by reassuring the British public that police forces will continue as normal to prioritize public safety over everything else.
"We are working closely with criminal justice system partners to manage demand in the system and ensure that the public are safe," Kemp said. "Policing will continue to arrest anyone that they need to in order to keep the public safe, including policing protests and events and ensuring that people are arrested as expected."
Interestingly enough, Operation Early Dawn was a program hatched by the previous Conservative government to address prison overcrowding. It has since been taken over by the far-left Labour Party as a way to silence dissent against the U.K.'s open borders policies.
"The irony of freeing criminals to make space for the unhappy citizenry ... signs your government might be dictators," one commenter wrote in disgust.
"The U.K. government knows what's just around the corner and they desperately want to get the first wave behind bars before it kicks off," responded another.
