I recall Swindon as a pleasant town where serious crime was a rarity. It now seems impossible to pick up a copy of our local paper without reading a report on a violent crime incident taking place in the town.
The Blair Government has been in power for eight years and failed to take proper responsibility for serious crime.
They have tied up police time with bureaucracy and prevented the police carrying out their duties effectively and efficiently.
What state is the country going to be in after these charlatans have been in power for another four or five years?
