What is an exclusive to labour is the early release program that despite assuring us the public it wouldn't has let violent offenders out early as we just don't have the space to keep them in prison. Public sector workers have done wellish out of labour and want that to continue which it won't under the tory plans but thats not a good enough reason to vote back in a party that has so patently failed in many of it's core promises to the electorate.

I agree incog i don't trust any of them either but we have to have someone and i really do not want another 4-5 years of labour and i do believe this time things will be different not by a massive amount by a little better. If labour get re-elected i have no faith that anything will get better in reality while i am constantly bombarded with how much better it is through government statistics.

You can't blame only one side for an ongoing problem that goes back across several changes of government.Plus I'll believe it when I see it about the Tories building new prisons.It will take so long that that by the time they are built Labour will be back in and can claim kudos for them...
