Good post. Your second paragraph is spot on. Our socioeconomic issues are complex, multifaceted and have been caused by multiple factors.
And as has been touched on before in other threads, it's laughable to see Tory MPs going off on one at Labour when they had 14 years in power previous to this and what did they achieve? Yes, Labour is in power so for now the buck stops with them, however (linked to your second paragraph) to expect any party to make significant improvements in a year or two is laughable.
Our problems are deep rooted and will take decades to rectify, if indeed they ever are.
Yes, blame the conservative party.
This is all rubbish.
Crime could be slashed overnight with the right people in charge.
Look at New York when Giuliani took charge.
He demolished crime figures overnight by putting a police office on every corner, going after known criminals, dismantling gangs, etc.
I visited New York in those days and felt very safe.
Our politicians could invest in policing the streets, untie the ropes holding police officers' hands behind their back and tackling crime.
Chuck lots of money at it, money now spent on other fancy projects that benefit nobody.
Foreign aid: review that for a starter, considering that we have an emergency here at home.
I would also go to the extent of using the army to patrol our streets now that we have passed the breaking point.
Modify prisons, add beds so they can hold double the numbers.
Get rid of open spaces so you can fit more prisoners.
Basically transform prisons to match south American ones.
Make it uncomfortable for prisoners.
Then, change the law.
Give knife and firearm offences automatic sentences of 10 and 20 years, leave no wiggle room for liberal judges: you're caught with a knife and you serve 10 years, no mitigating circumstances, no discretion for judges, no reduction for good behaviour (but if you misbehave you get more years added to your sentence).
Establish police task forces to tackle gangs, harass them, watch them, follow them, stop and search them every day.
And most importantly, renounce the woke mentality: every criminal must be treated the same, no leniency for anyone regardless of race, religion or anything else.
Do this and you'll see crime figures drop overnight.
Of course the criminal lover leftists do not want this: they want anarchy and chaos, terror and disorder.
They love that.
