Rejected petition Re-Claim the Streets

More details

I want the Government to assert the rule of law, for the benefit of the many, rather than to yield the streets, our homes and businesses to the criminal few.
Bluntly, to come down hard on criminals - to make the consequences of crime so appalling for the perpetrators, that they will be in fear of getting caught.

This means real punishment and deterrents, holding individuals responsible for their actions, and giving the police adequate powers and resources to protect the many.
I want my child to grow up in an England that I can be proud of, be proud to call himself English.

I want this government to have the guts to finally, really, get tough on criminals.

David Cameron - have you the guts to stand the corner of the people you purport to represent - or are you yet another gutless, talking head?

Actions speak louder than words.
