Pete Hitchens on governmental acceptance of crime.

'Listen carefully to those in authority when they promise to put things right. They do not really mean it, because they continue to believe in the ‘progressive’ ideas of the Sixties. They don’t believe in punishment. They don’t believe in deterrence.

They believe in ‘Human Rights’, which are invariably the rights of the wicked and the selfish.

It is true – I have been saying it for many years – that our cities could be altered overnight if they were once again guarded by proper constables, armed with nothing more than a truncheon and the force of per­sonality.
