Simster said:Yes you're right. But that is because other parties who stand for such values won't be headed by people with criminal records as long as your arm. If a new breed of "tough on crime" Tories were being headed by the likes of Jeffrey Archer, people would want nothing to do with them, and rightly so. The proof is there: certain Tory MPs have in the past stood on a family values ticket before being caught shagging around (usually having to pay for it, obviously). People eventually got tired of this hypocrisy in the same way people are tired of some of Labour's hypocrisy - as HampshireSeagulls has pointed out.
Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm NOT about to vote BNP. The guys who run that dispicable organisation have seriously evil agendas, and there is no way they should get anywhere near a sniff of power. The voting in Tower Hamlets was a very sad day for this country.
What I am saying is that, a lot of hysteria on this thread appears to be purely aimed at the "BNP" bit of this and not what they have actually said on law and order.
In my view there is no doubt that we are far too lenient on criminals, and the pc brigade have gone completely out of control. What's all this "sir" business when speaking to the lowlifes that exist in jails?
The whole system needs a radical shake-up, as we seem to have lost perspective on who has done wrong, and what the penalty should be.
"Hard on crime, hard on the causes of crime", don't make me laugh Tony.
