We've done our part - now it's over to you Jacqui Smith
Helen Backway delivered all the comments to the Home Office
Helen Backway delivered all the comments to the Home Office

NEWS Shopper has taken your Voices Against Violence views to the Home Office.

During our campaign we collected your comments and suggestions about how to combat knife crime to present to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith.

But as we reported earlier this week she was too busy to give us 30 seconds of her time to accept your letters, comments and emails.

So News Shopper news editor Helen Backway went to the Home Office in Westminster to hand over an envelope containing more than 1,000 comments.

It just proves Jacqui Smith does not care about the public!

She offers no support to the Police by giving them a pathetic pay increase and cannot find 30 seconds in her day to take suggestions from the people who put her in power!

Its these sorts of things that will mean labour will not be in charge come the next election!

Yes, Jacqui Smith was too busy winning the war on crime and patting herself on the back about the crime figures announced yesterday - which managed to achieve the Home Office target of an 18 percent reduction in crime.

Labour plan to close Queen Mary's. They lied saying it wouldn't but they plan to sell the land off, which is what Bexley have said all along.

They treat us like fools.

Its time for the people to take our Country back. Its time to dump Brown and his fools.
You may not like the Tories, but at least we had Hospitals when they were in power!!

God help you if you get stabbed now (due tot he stupid Smith womans foolish mis-handling of Crime).

She is a lying mare!
Crime down, I don't think so.Everytime this government is in a 'crisis' it fabricates stories and diverts attention to other issues.
Must go, my trusty horse awaits.

It's a pity the News Shopper didn't ask me, or Clive Efford, or Len Duvall to take this very important campaign to Jacqui's attention - I'd be happy to do it and I am very supportive of what you are doing.

The more decent people come out against knife crime and violence, the better.

Howard, perhaps the NS thought it best to go straight to the 'organ grinder', not the monkeys.(should that be flunkies ?)

Or as Geoff would say, "straight to the horses mouth."

I think Howard is upset that he lost out on a photo oppotunity!
