A broken promise

SIR – On May 1, 2010, David Cameron said that if the Conservatives were elected, they would fight back against crime by putting more police officers on the streets.

We now learn that West Yorkshire Police Force is to lose 130 frontline staff, which means the only people who will feel safer will be the criminals.

Is the PM unaware that many people, especially the elderly, are already afraid to go out after it gets dark?
