Gun Crime - New Labour soft on crime & soft on the causes of crime.

The number of firearms offences in England and Wales has risen in the last year, according to Home Office figures released on Thursday.

There has been a 3% climb in gun crime, following a 2% rise the previous year, the figures show.

The statistics also show a 35% rise in crimes involving imitation weapons.

Earlier in the month, six people were shot in the space of an hour during incidents in London and Bristol. Two people were killed in the London incident.

Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said the government had let gun crime get out of hand.

"No amount of government spin will hide the fact that violent crime is out of control," he said. "We now have record levels of gun crime, rocketing sex offences, a further 14% increase in violent crime and overall crime is nearly 750,000 higher than 1998."

Jan Berry, chairman of the Police Federation, called for more and better trained armed police to counter gun crime.

**Strange how talk tough, do nothing government can sit back in their safe ghettos whilst having guards to protect them. As for the rest of us well fuck us basicly, so long as we vote Labour they are quite happy for us to be gunned down.

Meanwhile kebab muncher and dire Home Secretary Jacqui Smith hailed the figures as “excellent” and vowed “severe punishment” for gun criminals.

She said: “ Thankfully, gun crime remains rare in this country.”

Right so lets see what she means by this being excellent. Gun crime increases and more people get shot as a result, whilst she lives in some la la fantasy world.

As for the gun crime remains rare, if that is the case how come the figures are up?

Maybe she could argue that to the 49 people killed by guns or would she spin it arguing that the figure is down by 7 on the last year.

Maybe she has got a case of CJD affecting what passes for her brain from the kebab's she eats?

Lets hope next time she is out and about pontificating on how things are perfect in New Labour's "Cool Britannia" that she has a gun fired at her. Bet she will pass some decent laws in record time...
