“Stalking must be a crime”, says Yvette Cooper ( link).
I absolutely agree with her on that. I also agree with Jason Hunter who said that Labour had 13 years to do it. Why didn’t they make it happen?
Labour made up 3000 new crimes while in power. ‘Impersonating a traffic warden; selling a grey squirrel; detonating a nuclear bomb’ (link) and protesting outside of Parliament without permission.
Yet no one thought of making stalking a crime?! So many people have suffered from it and now with the internet, it is easier than ever.
Yet another reason not to trust Labour! They might sound good at times out of office but when in power the only thing they deliver is authoritarianism and not actual protection of people and their liberties.

But some of the major stalking charities actually support and encourage stalkers to carry on stalking, see here
