The story of how Labour axed criminal investigations into bribery over the UK’s big arms deal with Saudi Arabia has been a favourite of various Lib Dem blogs (including this one), particularly given the rather curious continued silence from the Tories on the issue. (Tough on crime? Err, only sometimes, when it suits, if it’s not too much bother and when we’ve finished changing our clothes.)
The party’s now launched a new online petition and campaign website on the subject: www.corruptionisacrime.com
It’s one of a series of initiatives over the next few weeks backing up the party’s major crime campaign, launched a few weeks ago: www.wecancutcrime.com
