    I'm sure you'll apply that logic to Tory run areas when Labour are in government.

    Yes if Labour decides to make cuts to public services and policing then I would blame them for rising crime rates.

    But you're saying that if Tommy Robinson said the grass was green, the sky was blue and leaves grow on trees you'd dispute it, because of who said it.

    Not unless he'd spent the last decade arguing that stance I wouldn't.

    As has been pointed out to you, the top is the current government. And the current government are the ones that have initiated far more cuts to policing than any mayor could.

    Anyone that cuts funding to services and then tries to bemoan why said services don’t perform as well are ****ing idiots. The same idiots that have ran this country for 14 years.

    Tory Boy has actually made a decision on something, I wasn't expecting that.

    considering ireland is starting to complain a lot are leaving the uk and going to ireland, why potentially drop something when it actually may be serving as a deterrent( i know, early days)? In my opinion , the only thing that will stop the boats coming is if they actually refused them the ability to land ashore. That is the brutal reality of it for me. I strongly believe labours measures will do absolutely nothing. Until europe actually decide to turn the boats back and refuse them entry and actually get tough on it, this is going to continue (just as putin wants)

    Every time i see politics mentioned on the tv at the moment, i see david cameron. If/when the tories lose the election, I wouldn't be surprised if he made a leadership bid again.

    Whilst I detest the sight of this chinless tosser he can't be leader as he's not an MP.

    This is a far more serious organised crime situation that people seem to get.

    There was an article about some kurdish fellow to took this business off this brother and is sat in Turkey. Its on the bbc.

    They are making millions on it.

    So let's get real here. The boats are being imported and if there was the slightest bit of will they'd arrest the importers of the boats and give then 25 years a piece for human trafficking and get this shut down.

    If you can't roll up thecriminals then rill up the boating network and actually put real fear in them.

    The guy doing it got 10 years in absentia from Belgium court for doing it.

    It should be life and if you are of the thought process the death penalty cos it is murder. I'll leave that up to each personas thoughts on punishment.

    We are far to lax and easy on this crime and far too harsh of the people being trafficked.

    Chaos, stealing prick Angela has yet to be sacked yet either. They aint winning a majority, they have no discipline and will tear themselves apart more and more as the election looms and things in gaza worsen.



    In Labour's sick attempt to win back the Muslim vote they have decided to join the Israeli far rights attempt at ethnically cleansing Gaza.

    Just watching last weeks Question time and had to laugh when someone said that the best description of Diane Abbot is "trailblazer", surely that comes some distance behind "Thick, useless c#nt" ?
