Funny you should ask. This bloke came round asking that too yesterday...

Can't remember whether it was on here or PF recently that I posted that the first responsibility of any government is to endure the safety of its citizens.  The loss of control of immigration and there whereabouts is one clear example of how our politicians has failed.

Another is the increasing failure of law and order, and the related disregard that larger numbers have for our police and the justice system.

We can all cite examples of this, and indeed we do so.

What needs to be done is for someone to stop this pussyfooting around and therefore to get a proper grip on matters.  If this means that some human rights have to be rescinded, then so be it.  If it means that some lawyers have to retrain to take up conveyancibg instead, then so be it.

All I know is that we cannot continue with the current general direction for much longer.

Quote from: muddy on Today at 12:22:55 PMWhy do the voices in their heads always tell them to kill someone vulnerable and defenceless ?

Because those with voices in their heads which tell them to be pleasant and helpful aren't problematic nor newsworthy.

Well, I hope you get better soon Klondy.

In the meantime, I hope that you've left details of your login details on here with someone, just in case😬😉

Yep. I had it a couple of years back annoying cough and snotty. No temperature. Feels like a cold. Crappy first night. Not so bad last night. I dug out my old timeline - I know when I was infected then (granddaughter) and the time to symptoms suggest it could well have been the doctors rather than Lidl or any other excursions.

During the pandemic most of those really ill with covid were both old and with pre-extisting conditions. I wrote an app that grabbed the stats and produced spreadsheets.

Alberts marrow was the best in show
How it grew so big, he really didn't know
He'd hugged it and stroked it  and fed it well
Lots of TLC really made it swell

I agree.

I got it last year and it felt like nobbut a slight cold.
I think the people who suffer most probably have quite a weak constitution, not that I'm entirely healthy!

Don't you believe it..
  There is every chance that he will fool the authorities .. take his medicine.. find Christ..
In time he will be 'free to roam'..

That is exactly what I believe will happen.  We seem to have acquired an apologetic penal system which prefers to look kindly on criminals in the hope that they will change.
Most of them won't.

Murder is murder: ending someone's life.  Does anyone have the right to do that?
The only solution is that if you murder someone, you in turn will be hanged and removed from the society you obviously have no respect for.
Apart from permanently removing such people from society, it will deter many from deciding go murder someone in the full knowledge that they are at the same time signing their own death warrant.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 02:02:43 PMKilling anyone today is not such a big thing by those who commit the crime..
because they know they will be protected in court by fancy lawyers.

Aided & abetted by gullible psychiatrists who actually believe the stupid "the voices told me do it" diminished responsibility excuses.
