Didnt Boris have a go at crime as London Mayor ?

Remember his water cannon he was never allowed to play with ?

Think its a bit silly attacking Tories for not dealing with crime , after so much criticism has been levelled at them, for so long since austerity , perhaps a better tactic ,would be to say, thanks for listenjng to our cries of crime under funding and play that tactic out .

What does need sorting out are the courts and sentencing. I was listening to a police person taking about the problems not simply being down to underfunding , prosecutions after successful arrests were blighting their sucess , and leaving dangerous people on the streets ,or thinking no jail is coming their way .
