REASON 12<br />
TORY CUTS IN POLICE<br />
NUMBERS<br />
he conservative party like <strong>to</strong> call themselves the party of law and order, they<br />
believe it gets them votes. Maybe it they really were they'd deserve a few of<br />
those votes.<br />
But they are not the party of law and order and this is ably demonstrated by<br />
the reduction in the number of police officers by 20,000 during their 7 year<br />
tenure in government. In my region, Greater Manchester, we have seen a<br />
reduction of just over 1900 officers.<br />
The <strong>to</strong>ries will blame cuts on local government and pass the buck wherever<br />
they can - but the buck s<strong>to</strong>ps with the government who set policies and<br />
budgets. In particular the buck s<strong>to</strong>ps with the government minister who was<br />
responsible for policing for most of that period - one Theresa May.<br />
"Strong and stable" - don't make me laugh!<br />
NOTE - I'm not focusing on the other reasons they can't be considered the<br />
party of law and order (elec<strong>to</strong>ral fraud, numerous court decisions finding<br />
their actions <strong>to</strong> be unlawful e.g. treatment of disabled people, trying <strong>to</strong><br />
circumvent parliamentary process, privatisation of prisons etc.), those are<br />
for other days.<br />
VOTE LABOUR BECAUSE THEY HAVE VOWED TO STOP<br />
THESE OUTRAGEOUS, UNNECESSARY AND<br />
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TORY CUTS IN POLICE NUMBERS
