My repeated comments on the need for
respected audited crime statistics which would provide a solid base for
discussions and proposals on what is one of the most important concerns of voters
come once again to the fore with the publication of figures by the Independent Commons Library.
These show a 44% increase in violent crime since Labour came to power.
Tory and Liberal spokesmen will make a sumptuous meal of this latest
piece of numerical juggling. It is truly medieval akin to the study of
chickens` entrails by the three witches that figures mean what the speaker
wants them to mean. It is an insult to our intelligence that all political
parties are eager to play this game.
