Reasons not to vote Labour #1 (crime)

Crime Debate over at Guido's place, comments left by an individual who was probably a nice little troll.

Hmm, that says a bit too much, probably a bit careless really. Perhaps it would be good for the Lib Dems to be aware of comments such as this, it might make them think twice before embracing their new found friends.
