Sex crimes have increased considerably. Do you also put that down to police cuts.

Police numbers have been cut in the last few years so I think I'll go out and rape somebody. Somehow it doesn't really have the ring of truth about it

There is an element of truth to that, with less police presence on the street and police not having enough time to investigate crime, conviction rates are lower which emboldens criminals, organised crime and increases more opportunistic crime

Still don't understand even in light of the fact crime has increased why you want less police?

The whole police numbers debate is misleading. If you don't have a justice system that locks up criminals they'll be in and any way.

And Dianne Abbot's calculation on police numbers is so farcical it's let the Tories get away with doing what they want anyway as no one trusts Labour.

Is this Thursday's PussyBollox? No-one has said that they want less police so stop deliberately misinterpreting what people say

'Bollocks to Brexit'

The Lib-dems message in their leaflets and you can get the t-shirt.

(you can also get 'stop brexit' for the pathetic).

Even better than 'fromage not Farage'.

Vince Cable retiring shortly, always found him a decent type.

OK I rephrase it, the current government have a policy to reduce police numbers due to austerity, in the same period crime has gone up, the correlation has been ratified by the police commissioner.

Do you agree with this policy?

We are not in recession and the financial crisis was more than a decade ago

I don't understand a situation where having less police is a good thing?

We had far less Police in proportion to citizens in the past before major immigration into the country.

Perhaps the money for more Police should be paid for by those who supported this immigration.

Is it because your arguments against Brexit are so weak that you continually try and divert this thread to discuss other things?

What happens with the taxes you pay?

You're arguing to pay into a system in the hope to get as little in return as possible?

It isnt relevant whether my argument is weak if the argument for Brexit is non existent (apart from blue passports)

I would not say that arguing for a country to have self determination is "non existent". Try that with our former colonies who fought for and won independence from what they saw as a remote, centralising and undemocratic organisation.

Likewise I can see the merits of arguing for a union of nations on a continent that had 3 major conflicts in the spate of 100 years largely due to a form of nationalism. However not every country on that continent feels the need to join the EU and I think as our history and to some extent culture differs it doesn't work for us either.

There are good arguments to not have an EU and not be part of it but not strong enough arguments to withdraw from the EU. Where we are now proves that. The referendum was given with a recommendation to remain and no provision was made for a leave scenario, ie positive economic forecasts, the benefits of switching to self governance, how separate trade deals would be more advantageous and social benefits. The decision to leave was only through scepticism.

The Remain side failed to explain the benefits of the EU to the majority of the people. They ran a negative campaign which the more sensible Remainers now recognise. Still just because they got it wrong doesn't entitled them to another go lots of politicians can argue that in hindsight they would do things differently.

My postal vote has just arrived and I have voted for The Brexit Party.

Or as some would say "Hard Cheese"

Why does being in the EU need to be explained if we're in it? They ran a remain campaign because remain is the best option and most of the negatives of leaving in the government literature were spot on

For me to vote leave I'd want to see a plan, hard evidence of economic prosperity and blueprint for the future. I'm not as easily seduced by the snake oil salesmen like Farage I'm afraid but good luck anyway

Cameron tried to get a plan, he got a big fat NO, that's why people voted out, because we have self pride and don't prostitute our selves like you want to.
