The Liberal Democrats always talk about the causes of crime being more important than the symptoms.They are wrong twice over.
If you have flu - you need immediate action to control the illness as much as can be done and without holding back. You cannot suddenly go looking for a cure. It is nonsense.
Secondly, the Liberal Democrats accept silly definitions of what poverty is and then, like all the liberal left and socialists, blame this for being the main cause of crime. [Funny how crime levels in the 30s were a fraction of what they are now, eh? ]
They do not recognise that family breakdown, spoilt children, lack of controls, poor school discipline, multiculture, mass immigration, a reluctance to send youngsters to court, the abolition of the cane in schools and an absence of Christian teaching are the causes which they have naively failed to identify.
