Did Mr Cameron also mention the exponential increase in crime during the 80's, particularly involving violent crime, and that governments innability to control this? Mr Berry probably doesn't remember as he would be hard pressed to remember many Thatcherite policies which underminded the legal systems of this country and our hard working police force, due to his young age. At least Labour have more police officers on the ground to do the job, tories merely reduced police numbers!
Violent Crime in Lancashire up by 140% over the last ten years. Nationally, gun has increased four fold in ten years and knife crime has doubled in the last two years alone.
What ever New Labour are doing isn't working, its time for a change.
