Back for one day only...

PCRS II*

Nothing illustrates better the record rise in criminality under this Labour government than today’s news that murders in 2002 reached an all-time record of 1,048. On its own that would normally ensure the Home Secretary’s resignation, but taken with other signs that our country is becoming a criminal’s paradise – the rise in rapes, robbery, burglary etc – maybe this time the Prime Minister should follow.

Liberals and no doubt The Guardian will point to the British Crime Survey, which shows falling crime, but no-one decent will see that as anything other than the typical tactics of this despicable government – exaggerate or make up your evidence, lie about its importance, act without consulting others, never apologise when you’ve been caught. Six wasted years in office have shown the voters this is the way Labour behaves, with the honourable exception only of the liberation of Iraq,

The causes of the rise in criminality are plain enough. An underclass of unemployed layabouts, able but unwilling to work, living like a king on the handouts the State provides to them. The decline of religion and its replacement by a culture of instant gratification, promoted in our schools and universities by a liberal elite immune to the consequences of their actions; a ‘shagging around' mentality, where love and fidelity are swept away on a tide of abortions or uncared for babies; the homosexual lobby and their demands for gay ‘marriage’, explicitly on the grounds of equality, implicitly to destroy the family. And of course the State Pension, which rewards gambling and drinking, and penalises thrift and abstinence.

What has been the government’s response? The exact opposite of what you would expect. A police force neutered by the demands of political correctness, too worried about meeting ethnic quotas to care for the needs of the defenceless, frightened, victim. A judicial system that lets you off burglary, taps you on the knuckles for rape, and gives you a month inside with a TV for murder.

If the causes are plain, so are the solutions. First, such youths must me made to get a job. If an 18-yr old sits around for a year with nothing to do it fosters a mentality in which only the individual and his/her views matter, with predictably dreadful consequences. If they won’t work, they should be made to work. Second, going to church. Those who go to church add a spiritual dimension to their lives, which also replaces the ‘me-first’ attitude of most youths today. We must reclaim the Church. And of course the State Pension should be abolished.

Of course there will remain feckless, sociopathic, scum. For them the policing and legal systems must be reformed. There must be more 250,000 more bobbies on the beat, who must be given powers to lock up first-time offenders and throw away the key. For repeat offenders we should bring back the noose, whatever the Eurocrats say.
And Her Majesty’s subjects should be allowed to carry automatic weapons to defend themselves where necessary.

Only one Home Secretary can give the British public the security it needs and it’s not David Blunkett. It’s Oliver Letwin. And thus today’s crime figures have one silver lining – they hasten a Conservative government.
