Take a young man, alcohol, a police station, a Conservative Party membership card, a police-issue balaclava and a cup of tea, and what do you get? Why, this story of course (with further details from here).

Our membership cards are far too flimsy to be used in that way. This once again demonstrates how we are serious about tackling crime whilst Conservative party membership drives are all about putting tools in the hands of criminals. đ

See what doors Conservative party membership can unlock.
