BILL Brison (July 9) needs to sort out the problems of his own party's policy before criticising others.

If he is so concerned about anti-social behaviour, why did the Liberal Democrats vote against the new Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs)? These give the police and local councils new powers to deal with exactly the sort of problems he is complaining about, and have been extremely successful where used.

Is this just another example of the Liberal Democrats saying one thing in Bury but doing another in London?
