AND OUR FOREIGN POLICY WILL LEAVE YOU 13% SAFER
Labour vows to cut crime by 15% (Hélène Mulholland, The Guardian, April, 21st, 2005)
The prime minister, Tony Blair, this morning promised to reduce crime by 15% if Labour wins a third term in office.
As the Conservatives are expected to respond by promising to increase civility by 17%, this will be a battle worth watching.
