Dear All
One thing we all know about the Labour Party is that they are liars.
They will say anything to mislead voters into voting for them.
One of the most despicable stunts currently being run by the Labour Party is their knife crime campaign.
Their slogan is 'carry a knife - go to jail' which they have tricked victims and families of knife crime in helping them front.
SNP MSP Stewart Maxwell has written to Labour's Justice spokesperson Richard Baker calling on him to explain why his party’s policy and why they are misleading voters.
Stewart Maxwell is a member of the Holyrood Justice Committee hearing evidence on Labour’s amendments to the Crime Bill.
Labour have been saying one thing publicly and another in private to the Justice Committee that judges will still have the final discretion on sentencing.
This is really treating the voters with contempt.
The Labour Party at Holyrood led by the ‘East Coast Weasel’ MSP Iain Gray have also failed to produce any evidence that mandatory sentences would reduce the level of knife crime in Scotland, a key Labour claim.
Mr. Maxwell said;
"Labour are claiming that, under their plans, everyone caught carrying a knife will go to jail and that this will reduce knife crime in Scotland. On both counts, they are misleading voters. They use the slogan 'carry a knife - go to jail' and then concede that it will still be up to judges to impose sentences? That doesn't sound very mandatory to me. What would the exceptions be?”
Labour MSP Richard Baker follows in a long line of Labour Politicians who have held the Justice brief, when it comes to Labour and order he is completely out of his depth.
The Labour Party stunt on knife crime is a sham; it is nothing to do with helping people but all to do with misleading them to get votes.
The use of victims and their families tricked for political advantage is such a despicable act that it falls well below the standards of what can be reasonable expected by those elected to public office.
I call it dishonourable.
Yours sincerely
George Laird
