IMMIGRATION/CRIME | |||
In April 2007 I wrote this for one of our Aldershot Conservative leaflets - has anything changed?It seems these days that everyone I talk to in Aldershot and across the County have TWO main concerns, Immigration and Crime. IMMIGRATION: People ask me why would any responsible Government allow uncontrolled Immigration to this Country and have done so for 10 YEARS? Many conclude it is because they cannot TRUST the English people to always vote Labour? What I do know a vote for the Conservatives is a vote for a Border police and controlled and selective immigration. CRIME. Violent grime has quadrupled since 1998 to 1.2 million crimes a year. Today 10 years on, Labour intend to release thousands of prisoners even EARLIER to reduce overcrowding in our prisons. Why? Because they failed to build more prisons! REMEMBER: Prisons do work, because it keeps violent people off our streets. ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOR: I as your County Councillor intend to see that people in our community who are responsible for this behaviour are evicted from Social Housing. It is no easy option, as sufficient evidence must be produced by Housing Associations working with the police to satisfy our Courts. It is up to you who you vote for. Eric Neal | |||

Convicted killers still at large - 6 July 2009 | |||
Hundreds of offenders who should be in prison remain at large Nearly 1,000 offenders who should have been sent back to prison are still at large, according to Justice Secretary Jack Straw. They include 19 convicted murderers who have not been returned to custody. Also free are rapists and people convicted of manslaughter who were on licence from jails in England and Wales between January 1999 and March 2009. The Conservatives said the figures would shock the public and accused the government of putting people at risk. They blamed the government's Labour's "reckless" early release scheme and "lax approach" to probation. Figures published by the National Offender Management Services (NOMS) show 935 offenders whose licences had been revoked had not been returned to jail as they should have been. As well as murderers, those still free include two people convicted of manslaughter and 26 others convicted of sexual offences, including 12 for rape or attempted rape.

It was clear in 1997 that we had to provide at least 5,000 extra prison places per year, once again this Labour Government failed to see the obvious. |
