One of the people killed in the attack on Friday worked for the rehabilitation of prisoners, and his father has written for the Guardian saying his son would be mortified to think his death being used by the Tories to force through harsher sentences and not letting prisoners ever be released.
That one of the people who rushed to disarm the man with the knife was himself a reformed murderer seems to have been missed.
As has the way in which the Conservatives have attacked the Justice system with ever larger financial cuts, now up to 40% on pre-Grayling levels. Courts are being closed and those that remain open are falling to pieces and so understaffed that those that can be used stand idle for weeks on end. For most cases,the accused are held on remand for over a year, thus denying justice to those who were offended against.
The Tories calling themselves the party of law and order is a sick joke, and yet the truth of the depth of cuts and dire condition of the justice system is all but unreported.
30% of all children now live in poverty. Before 2010, child poverty was all but eradicated. Know your enemy, people.
Police numbers have been slashed, and the recent proposed increase will not sustain present undermanned levels thanks to the amount of experience leaving the force.
Fire stations closing down, wth less fireman to protect more properties and people. Just look at Johnson's record in London.
But it seems turkeys are going to be voting for Christmas, at Christmas, and the country will sold off to the rich vulture capitalists. But some of us saw it coming, and tried to warn you all.
