PM SLATED FOR BLAMING CHAOS ON COURTS
PM slated for blaming chaos on courts
And he launches new crime crackdown

By Oonagh Blackman Political Editor

TONY Blair was slammed yesterday after blaming the courts for voters losing faith in his fight against crime.

Critics accused the PM of failing to get a grip on yobs and reoffenders during nine years of government.

Lib Dem Nick Clegg said: "Tony Blair has presided over a wholesale degeneration in our criminal justice system.

"Who does Mr Blair think he's kidding when he now claims he is the man to restore confidence in our criminal justice system, after such a lamentable nine year record?"

Blair's aim is to deflect criticism onto Human Rights laws. But he can hardly get away from the fact that he is responsible for the current problems. Even if he inherited many of the problems at the Home Office from the Tories his Ministers have had nine years to tackle the management problems there.

Prolonging the debate won´t help him.

Was this not almost word for word the response that the unfortunate Clarke C came up with? Could it possibly have come from the same PR source?
