Not a word about Henry Novak on the day his murderer is jailed.
Not a word .
The government are suposed to be issuing a statement today .

I suppose our disgraceful BBC can fit it in in between the slagging off of Israel by the Bowen liar .

The boy dying being handcuffed and read his rights

That poor boy it's could have been my grandson .

Those poor parents have raised that child to 18;they must have been so proud he got into university .

Murdered by scum that shouldn't be here and dying in such a terrible  disrespectful way .

His father who had the terrible task of seeing this footage said he told the police NINE times he had been stabbed and FOUR times he couldn't breath
The PC replied I don't think you have mate.

I suspect that at least some of those crimes are done at the behest of adults making use of children as they cant be prosecuted.

If you compare that £20 wage with now and apply the multiplier to those prices they beat what we have to pay now for many. I'm pretty sure that £749 a week is significantly higher than minimum wage but is probably average wage

I always remember ordering fish and chips as a piece and six. Usually with batter bits.

Poor old thing. Let's hope the test results come up clear. Dogs hate vets. Ours used to tremble just going in. I think they smell fear and pain in others.

Yes,  and sometimes you can't help but wonder where,  or how,   it will all end.

The Chat Room / Yesterday's Prices
Last post by Mups - Yesterday at 10:04:33 PM
Prices shoot up over the years,  but in some ways we have perhaps got used to it.
We have to accept it anyway because we either cough up - or go without.

I have just seen this almost unbelievable list of prices we paid back in 1966.
See if you remember any of these -


1. Average wage was £20.30s a week.    (Today £749)  - It didn't say what job this was!

2. Cinema tickets - 15p  -   (£9.50)

3. A pint of Beer - 10p  -  (Today £5.50)

4. Fish & Chips - 10p  (Today - £9.50)

5. Flight to Spain  (return charter) - £31

6. Men's haircut - 15p   - (Today £20.)

7. Packet of 20 Cigarettes - 20p  (Today - £13.)

8. Loaf of Bread - 5p -  (Today £1.60)

9. Pint of Milk - 4p  - (Today £1.)


Astonishing what we have come to expect now,  isn't it.

General Discussion / Child criminals
Last post by Mups - Yesterday at 09:49:29 PM
Did anyone else read about this in the Sunday paper yesterday?

Apparently,  the police had to write off thousands    of crimes last year because the young culprits were under 10 yrs old!   
We are not talking about nicking an ice cream,  we are talking about drug offences, violent assaults, attacks on police officers,  and even rape!!   

It says figures showed that there were 11,031 offences last year alone, where no action could be taken because the suspects were under 10 yrs old.
I find this really hard to imagine.   Kids that age committing such serious crimes?

So what are our government going to do about this do you think?
Well,  they are supposed to be  'looking at increasing the cut-off age to 12, instead of 10 yrs old'.
This seems quite obvious to even me,  that this would even more youngsters than ever to commit crimes without fear of punishment as long as they are under 12 now.

One retired detective is supposed to have said - "Criminalising under 10's is not the answer in my view.  However, we do need to take action because I believe it relates to bad parenting."
He went on to say he thought in the most serious of cases the child could be removed from their environment and placed into Care.

I certainly think something urgently  needs to be done,  because if they are doing crimes equivalent to adult crimes  e.g. rape,  assaulting Cops, and doing drugs,  before they are even 10 yrs old,  they are surely paving the way to be hardened criminals by the time they are in their teens!

I found this quite alarming,  but also,  don't  you think there is a very sad side to it as well?
