Tories backtrack on knife crime



The Conservative's today will abandon their pre-election pledge that anyone found carrying a knife can expect to be sent to jail.

This comes as the Conservatives unveil the soft on crime, soft on the causes of crime approach to law and order.

Mr Vaz, Labour Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee said the Tory 'u-turn' was very disappointing and would damage our communities and the fight against crime.

A policy agenda that will see career criminals released onto our streets at the same time that Police officers are cut, magistrate services downgraded and the pursuit of partisan police commissioners.

A policy agenda which will see anti-social behaviour blight the poorest parts of Medway as resources are skewed away from police priorities in favour of partisan priorities.

Squandering of millions of pounds of tax-payers money on elected police bureaucrats whilst communities suffer.

Remember this? Another Tory pledge broken

This government's hypocrisy is shameful and their values are the wrong ones.

Crime should pay. Not the victim.
