article-1238920-07B6C723000005DC-298_468x587_popup Craig Lynch, who escaped England’s Suffolk’s Hollesley Bay Prison in September, is using Facebook updates to brag about his freedom, posting a steady stream of status messages and rude photos to mock the authorities who have been after him for months. On Christmas, a tinsel-clad and shirtless Lynch (left) flicked off the camera with one hand, and in the other, held a freshly cooked turkey. “‘If any of you was doubtin my freedom. Here’s proof. How the f*** could i get my hands on a bird like this in jail. ha ha,” he wrote.

The British press are obviously eating up the stunt like Lynch probably scarfed that Christmas white meat, with both the Daily Mail and Times Online tracking his misadventures.

In one status update, Lynch asked, “In my situation where would YOU hide?” One responder noted, “You got the whole nation cheering you on.” Except, of course, the police, who are working with Facebook to find Lynch.

But for now, if you’re looking for new friends you can find Lynch here.

Just goes to show you how lacking in authority the police force actually has. They have cameras practically everywhere, for pete’s sake! This wouldn’t happen in America.

Wait, which war lord did we elect twice? All you accomplished by that comment was making yourself sound even more like an idiot. You must have a very strange and inaccurate definition of war lord. And did electing said ‘war lord’ prevent us from catching any wanted prison escapees? Please name one high profile wanted felon such as this one that we have allowed to escape from prison without capture. If you’re going to try to defend yourself against being called an idiot, you should probably think before you type and try basing your assumptions on fact.
