More on Cameron's crime con...

Good to see the Mirror picking up Cameron's dodgy claim that crime is rising - when the opposite is in fact true.

The Conservative 'Britain is Broken' scare campaign relies heavily on ramping up people's fear of crime - and they can only do that by telling massive porkies.

As I posted on Monday, the entire 'Britain is Broken' nonsense unravels under any degree of independent scrutiny.

It's another Cameron Con.

Local crime down by almost a quarter...

Contrary to the scaremongering headlines that would have you believe you'll be mugged every time you step out of your front door, the chances of becoming a victim of crime are actually falling year on year...

I almost missed this headline from the Stamford Mercury last month which highlights a massive 23.8 per cent drop in one year in local crime figures for the Deepings, Stamford and Bourne.

Top Cop slates Cameron for distorting crime figures...

Another day, another blow to David Cameron's street cred, as one of the country's highest ranking police officers tells the Tory Leader he's talking nonsense on crime.

The President of the Association of Chief Police Officers says Cameron's talk of anarchy and a broken society is well wide of the mark and says he should remember the riots in Thatcher's Britain.

The top cop also points out that despite Cameron's scaremongering, crime is actually at its lowest since the Tories were in office!
