[...] There is a tale involving David Mitchell but I’ll let the perpetrator tell it. I did feel a bit sorry for the parties involved, a bit. And as usual it was good to put names to faces, although I do now wish I’d been wearing a cravat… [...]

Though generally crime has fallen year on year for the last five years. Labour’s investment in local police teams and better youth services has helped that, as well as demographic changes and general improvements in the economy, jobs etc.
