We need fewer criminals, not more cameras. British police can’t deal with the added workload since Tony Blair, when a new policy was introduced, which we aren’t allowed to talk about. It’s easier to arrest those speaking out over those commiting crimes. The fact I can’t identify who I’m talking about should tell you everything.

Rotherham is a beautiful place btw. Nothing to see there. Move along now.
