Browsing Hansard today I came across this from John Mann, Labour MP for Bassetlaw :

Sixty-one per cent. of councils that do not use ASBOs in a given year are Conservative administrations. It is no surprise that its Front-Bench Members have now disappeared. Twenty-five per cent. of the councils not issuing ASBOs have no overall control, 9 per cent. are Liberal Democrat and 6 per cent. are Labour. So the number of Labour councils not using this power is negligible, compared with the rest. The Conservative party has considerable control over local government at the moment, but these figures demonstrate that councils right across the country are not issuing any ASBOs at all. What support does that offer to the police? More importantly, what support are those local authorities giving to their communities, and to those embattled neighbours who have to live next door to the bullies, the abusers and the hasslers? They are the people who are being let down by those local authorities’ refusal to use their powers.

An interesting set of statistics which could also be interpreted in a very different manner.

Could it be, for instance, that since Labour has encouraged an army of state funded feckless Labour voters who are probably more common in Labour controlled council areas 94% of Labour councils need to resort to ASBOs to control their unwashed army?

What if only 39% of Conservative councillors were illiberal fuckwits compared with 91% of Liberals and 94% of Labour councillors?

I’m sure there are a lot more permutations but whatever the outcome it demonstrates to me that Labour MPs and Labour councillors are all bred in the same rat infested cesspool.
