The real crime

REPORTS of soaring violent crime are a damning indictment of the holes punched in the thin blue line by Theresa May.

As PM and formerly Home Secretary, she is guarded heavily against the offenders who inflict misery and hurt on the rest of us.

She is clueless about the realities of life for the people she abandoned. However, behind every statistic is a person who suffered.

May might not care but we do. Recruit officers to replace the culled police and we’ll all be safer – except for the criminals.
