Also where is the "magic money tree" to finance all these new measures when May's govt exchequer was effectively skint. Tory bullshit as usual and one can only hope that most people can see through these kinda rushed policies with very little "thought" put into the fact the probs are far more complicated than eg "banging offenders up in prison for longer"!! These are highly political so called "tough measures" rather than having a genuine interest in resolving a lotta the social probs that were indeed exacerbated by the policies of shitheid Tory govts and currently we have been landed with another one!!
That is a ploy right out of the Trump Playbook!!! Deflection away from something you don’t want to talk about onto something that will “appeal” to most people and particualrly the Tories base support.
