Comment: Rupert, . . . (When did PAM do any violence in the mid 70's?) the real crime and violence started in the mid 90's when an individual incited a riot in Church Street and mashed up town. Crime has been on Labour's Manifesto since then, but crime (murders and burglary) has escalated only in the last few years to where have we have shootings galore and armed hold ups in banks, gas stations, stores etc. The Govt are not seen to be actively doing anything to stop this. There should be a serious visible action to stop crime and keep it to a minimum (you will never stop it altogether) level. Sad to say the state of the economy and the increased taxes (incl VAT) will exacerbate the situation, and we know whose fault that is ! |
