In their right wing zeal for a smaller Government, the Conservatives took a massive axe to the public service which resulted in passports taking 6 months to process, Tax Returns not being captured in time, a shortage of beds in the NHS and 27,000 less police officers.
It is the latter that has resulted in an explosion of crime in the UK which the police describe as putting them 'under significant stress' so it shouldn't be hard to work out, if there are less of the people employed to stop crime, then crime will rise.
The Conservatives have been awful, the austerity cuts devastating the country so this is the direct result of Government policy and while the blame goes to the morons arming themselves with knives and sticking them in each other, the choices the Government have made has enabled the environment for it to happen in.
It was Theresa May as Home Secretary who run down the Police Force and the day after two teenagers were stabbed to death, she defended her policy by saying that there was 'no direct correlation' between fewer police and higher crime despite police calling for more help and resources to deal with the problem.
It would be laughable if it was not so serious but the Conservatives are not listening, they saw the economic crisis as a way to drive through their ideological plans and they won't let something like teenagers being stabbed to death to throw them off their failed right-wing agenda.
