Let's try violent crime up as a result of cuts to the police service.
well done Dave + Co.

The chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales has slammed Tory budget cuts after shocking new crime figures were revealed.

Steve White’s comments add to pressure on Home Secretary Theresa May , after it was reported that knife attacks surged by almost 10 per cent last year.

Murders rose 14 per cent and gun crime rose for the first time in almost a decade.

Official stats showed there were 27,487 stabbings and other knife crimes across England and Wales in the year to September 2015 – the equivalent of 529 every week.

Steve White said: “These figures show an alarming rise in recorded crime - which is what we have been saying all along.

“There were 1.3 million violent incidents in England and Wales in the last year, and yet the police service is currently operating with 17,000 fewer officers than five years ago.”

Not sure I follow this - surely Police are responsible for the identification of the perpetrators after the event, not prevention per se?

Would reversal of the cuts have diminished those figures in any way at all? Aside from the deterrent factor of having a police officer present when you are actually doing the crime (which pretty much never happens, neither has it ever happened) then I'm not sure how police cuts reduce crime (as opposed to crime detection rates, which I would totally accept)


If someone commits a crime and are caught, they are less likely to repeat the crime as they would be sentenced / charged whatever. If there aren't enough police to catch perpetrators, surely it stands to reason that they will commit more crimes.

I'll bow to Jamie on that, but I'm sure he's got figures on repeat offenders somewhere

60% of those who appealed had the appeal find in their favour.
So who the bloody hell has designed a system that gets 60% of it's 'no' decisions wrong?

Children in poverty increases by 250000 since Tories gained power.

Compassionate conservatism? My arse!

Osborne's admitted that his policies have made the rich richer and the poor poorer.
How much more proof do (some) people want?

British workers face worst decade for pay in 70 years. (you can read it Hoof, it's from the ft)

Good work Tories.

I see that Gove has admitted that stopping labours building schools for the future (despite being told it was a bad move because it was known school numbers were going to rise) was a terrible mistake. Align this with Osbornes admission that austerity was a bad mistake too, it would seem many were hoodwinked by idiots. it also shows I was right all along despite the vitriol I've received for daring to question it all.
