They seemed to then employ more people to become police and spent loads of our money training them.

Surely it would seem to have been more sensible to have left the trained police doing their job, which is policing, and trained the newcomers to be admin staff.

It would certainly have been cheaper!!!

But I never understood why Labour did much of what they did. I thought that their policies were mostly rubbish then, and since Labour were chucked out of power it has become obvious that I was right!!

I would guess that this is why Cameron can claim to be able to reduce police staffing and still have more police on the streets (and hopefully fewer trained police in admin roles!).

But I did not expect the Labour party to actually agree!!

Ed Miliband has admitted Labour is to blame for undermining the ethics of British society.

The Labour leader conceded yesterday that the moral decay which David Cameron has blamed for the looting occurred on Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s watch.

He admitted: ‘We did better at rebuilding the fabric of our country than the ethic of our country.’

But in his most provocative comments on the causes of the riots, Mr Miliband claimed that the mayhem of the last week was partly caused by poverty, an argument already made by his deputy Harriet Harman.

‘We have got to ask why do we have people in our society who feel that the way they can get on and the right thing to do is go and nick the telly, engage in the kind of looting we saw,’ he said. ‘We have got to avoid simplistic answers. There’s a debate some people are starting: is it culture, is it poverty and lack of opportunity? It’s probably both.’

Polls show that the public rejects claims from left-wing politicians that poverty and cuts causes lawbreaking.

One survey this week found that just 8 per cent of voters believe the Government’s cuts were to blame for the riots.

Mr Miliband said the riots showed young people have no ‘sense of right and wrong’ and sought to claim the rioters were the same as bankers. ‘It’s about irresponsibility, wherever we find it in our society.’

It is clear from events over the last 40 years that Labour stands for one thing only. That is the desire/need to spend all the UK’s money and to tax us all significantly more simply because Labour needs to keep spending!

This urge to SPEND is at the heart of Labour. Just look at history!

Either the IMF come in to fix the economy following a Labour government OR the Conservatives have to sort out the UK economy which a subsequent Labour government simply bankrupts again!

People might not mind this inbuilt desire for Labour to bankrupt us every time they are in power IF we got some long term benefits from it. But we don’t!!

In fact we are nearly always left far worse off financially following a Labour government!

Note to Ed Milliband:  The problem that you have is that Labour almost bankrupted the UK last time in power and it will be difficult to exceed this achievement when you next get into power.

But I am sure that the next Labour government will find a way!!!

Yet the unions, who own labour, want to have their cake and eat it!!

The unions striking for more money and less cuts is so, so cynical. The Labour party caused the financial problems in the UK yet they don’t want any consequences of their own actions to affect themselves and their members.

The trade union members did not cause the problems BUT they voted for the people who did! The cuts have to be made or the UK will go the way of Greece. Doesn’t anyone in Labour remember the consequences of the IMF running the UK after a previous Labour government bankrupted the UK economy?

I hate this greedy, selfish attitude of the trade unions. As long as they are OK it doesn’t matter what happens to anyone else!!!

These complainers know that these pledges cannot be implemented unless the Libdems are elected.

I would guess that most of these people are Labour supporters trying to break the coalition, or they really do not understand the political facts of life!

The UK owes the LibDems a favour for keeping Labour out of power. Just look at the immense damage that Labour did under Blair and Brown.

Most of the Labour ministers are the same ones who were in the last government. Could anyone actually trust Labour not to complete the job and actually bankrupt the UK if they got back into power?

I wouldn’t!

Blair got the country to vote for him on personalities not politics.Labour did not seem to have any idea of what to do once they were in power!

The result was that Labour almost ruined the UK economy and put the UK into serious debt.

We almost went the way of the Irish economy. The election came just in time for the Conservatives to halt the inevitable economic crash that Labour overspending would have caused!

The new Labour leadership are mostly the same bunch that almost destroyed the UK economy.

How can anyone ever expect them to behave differently in the future?
