Answer: precisely what it has done up to now. Nothing.

The Chief Constable of Kent delivers a frightening warning about how his force is struggling to cope. Mike Fuller says he will need another 561 officers if Kent’s immigrant population continues to grow at the present rate – but he berates the Home Secretary for not providing sufficient extra money.

This is the same Home Secretary who says she is afraid to go out on our dangerous streets. Mr Fuller warns that violent crime is up by a third in Kent in the past five years, and he puts the blame squarely on our open door to immigrants.

In Kent last year, there were 7,800 violent crimes – that’s 21 a day in the Garden of England. Many other chief constables face a similar desperate crisis.

Labour has betrayed this country by failing to protect our borders. And it has failed our police officers by not giving them the resources to do their dangerous and difficult job.

The tragedy is that it’s too late to turn back the clock, so Britain has little choice but to suffer.
