Child Killers will face life behind bars without parole if Tories win election

[Denver]

So the Tories have said if they win the election they will make all child killers spend the rest of their lives in without the chance of parole

The party of law and order... when it suits.

They've had nearly a decade to do this so why should I believe them now?

Some of the "things that will never actually happen" that are being trotted out for this election are just... :facepalm:

Free cookies! Best haircuts for everyone! We'll put additives in the water that make your poop smell like Grape Fanta!

Lets face it anything Conservatives propose will be shunned by the opposition voters,thats just human nature, I am willing to give them this chance to get things done.

Precisely, another ‘promise’ they won’t keep, added to the already long list

I mean it's not as nearly as long as labour's

It's no more daft an idea than promising everyone free Broadband.

The difference is that labour have a list of things they want to do but haven't been in power, the tories have a list of stuff they've done nothing about for 10 years and often made things worse. Take policing- they 've pledged 20,000 new cops, but they'd already cut 21,000 of them in the 10 years.

There's a very real difference, and if labour had been in power for 10 years and killed thousands with austerity and NHS cuts, and were now coming out with these promises, I'd rubbish them too.
