Government announces crackdown on blaming police cuts for crime
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/politics/politics-headlines/government-announces-crackdown-on-blaming-police-cuts-for-crime-20180606173934THE government is to impose minimum 10-year sentences on anyone attempting to blame police cuts for rising crime, it has announced.
The crackdown aims to eliminate the scourge of anti-austerity views, which have doubled in the last 18 months, from Britain’s streets and offenders have been promised ‘no mercy’.
Home secretary Sajid Javid said: “When ordinary people are unable to walk the streets without being assaulted by criticism of government policies, the time has come to act.
“A full quarter of the Met’s officers have been reassigned to stamp out these gobby, insolent traitors who threaten the very fabric of Britain and have even infiltrated the ranks of the police themselves.
