Labour and Tories both guilty of peddling fear on crime – Huhne

Commenting on Gordon Brown’s speech on crime and anti-social behaviour, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

“Labour has been just as guilty as the Tories of posturing on penalties and peddling fear.

“Labour and the Conservatives have indulged in a sentencing arms race in a desperate attempt to look tough, rather than back more police officers which is the best way to cut crime.”
