London Murders

The array of liberal experts, regularly paraded by an enraged media, portray a common theme on the causes of the increase in murders in London. Usually, after their opening, “what we need is,” the witness blames Tory cuts, from police numbers to social, education and recreational provision. The social fabric of our “Commune E Es” is being torn apart, they wail. Nobody acknowledges the work the government has done over recent years to stabilise finances and, at least, avoid bankruptcy and national humiliation and that we cannot continue to live beyond our means. Some sacrifices and prioritisation of expenditure is inevitable. Neither does anyone mention one thing that has not been cut at all – the numbers of parents responsible for their offspring.
