An INCOMPETENT government released the London Bridge terrorist to kill again: a TORY government
How tasteless of the Tories to try to blame Labour for a tragedy that they caused.
People have died and both Home Secretary Priti Patel and prime minister Boris Johnson have tried to turn the atrocity into a political football.
For clarity: convicted terrorist Usman Khan murdered two people on London Bridge last Friday (November 29).
Both Mr Johnson (see the link below) and Ms Patel have tried to blame the fact that he was free and able to commit these murders on an early release policy which they say was imposed by a Labour government.
Both Mr Johnson and Ms Patel were telling an untruth.
Khan had been jailed under Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) – a policy imposed by Labour, but abolished by a Conservative Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke, in 2012.
It is because the Conservatives abolished IPP that Khan was able to appeal against his sentence – successfully. It was reduced to 16 years, meaning he was released on licence in December 2018.
Labour had nothing to do with it.
If you read the article (link below), you’ll see that Mr Johnson changed tack – to claim that his government could not be responsible because he has only been prime minister for 120 days. What drivel.
The UK has been under continuous Conservative rule since 2010. The same Conservative government that repealed IPP is now being run by Mr Johnson. The only differences – of cabinet members and prime minister – are cosmetic.
So don’t let Boris Johnson and his Tory cronies make a fool of you.
His government was responsible for Usman Khan’s release and as leader, he should take responsibility for it.
The fact that he is desperately trying to slither out of it is more proof of his unsuitability to govern.
Make sure he doesn’t get the chance to cause any more harm. Vote Labour on December 12.
