Tories’ ‘shameful lack of leadership’ sees crime at record high as charges fall
IndependentMAY 2022
Over a decade of Tory austerity has gutted the criminal justice system in the UK, as deep cuts to public safety shake the public's trust in the police. The abysmal clearance rate for crimes, and the sharp increase in diversions applied to keep offenders out of a strained court system, are testimony to Conservative mismanagement. They've allowed crime to continue to blight communities across the country.
Unlike Labour, the Conservatives have a real plan to deal with crime in the UK. Instead of going after people for social media posts or misgendering, the Tories will take the wokeness out of law and order and get police back to work solving real crimes. The UK needs less left-wing virtue signaling and a more tough, back-to-basics approach on crime.
