Craig 'Lazie' Lynch celebrated his first Chirstmas outisde of prison for the first time in six years. No, he didn't finish his sentence, rather, the criminal managed to escape from Suffolk's Hollesley Bay Prison on September 23, 2009 and has been on the run ever since. But Lynch didn't stop there, since his escape he has been taunting police via his Facebook updates, photos, etc., even going so far as to post a photo of himself celebrating Christmas whilst draped in tinsel, holding a 12 lb. turkey, and flipping another kind of bird in his other hand to the authorities. The caption below the festive photo read, "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."

Lynch was serving a seven year sentence for aggravated burglary when he escaped.

Police are monitoring Lynch's Facebook account even working with officials from the social networking service in attempt to catch the criminal who has garnered an astounding 11,195 followers.

As of December 28, Facebook deleted 'Lazie' Lynch's fan page but he has since started another page and even called in for a phone interview for the Channel 5 news in the UK.

It appears that the much hyped alleged ‘UK Big Brother System’ is too busy reading ‘Joe Public's’ Faxes, e-mails,Texts and listening and recording our phone calls to be able to perform their duty catching real criminals does it not?As is usual: UK laws protect the criminals whilst Victimizing the Victims of Crime.Signed Carl Barron Chairman of agpcuk

I used to respect and honor the law, but I personally had been imprisoned on false charges. The police themselves are worse than most of the people they put away. Whether innocent or guilty the penal system is a system of revenge, not one of rehabilitation. While I was in prison I met quite a few men that should have been in mental hospitals, prison does not solve their illness. People come out worse than when they came in. The penal system requires a major overhaul. Sooner or later if the system is not fixed, coupled with the economy self destructing the UK may enjoy a French Revolution.Down with the monarchy! Social evolutionists belong in the London zoo!

Craig Lynch escaped fugitive gets Bonnie & Clyde media status.Looks like this was well planned see-revealing story:carl-agpcuk.livejournal.com/4452.html Now contracts for his story are (perhaps) the next move with the money he can get a top Lawyer and explain that he was doing this to get money for the story. After all his defense council will say he only had a short time to go before his release date. He’s out free loads of cash and possibly a Film contract to go with the story. Not so stupid as you might think.Signed Carl Barron Chairman of agpcuk
