THE Prime Minister tells us we have more money in our pockets and that crime is down especially burglary thanks to new labour.

In my view it is thanks to China. Fridges and washing machines should cost at least 50 per cent more. A large store was advertising kettles, toasters and steam irons at £4.99 each.

We are told the police are doing a good job by getting burglary down in Bolton. In my opinion crime is down because most things stolen cannot be sold on because you can get new from the pound shop, again thanks to China. It seems car radios are not worth pinching anymore.
