Quote from: Alex on Today at 11:13:55 AMI thought there was going to be a government investigation into vet's fees ?  I'm sure I didn't dream that.  There certainly needs to be some form of regulation those charges are ridiculous Mups.

I''m off to Chester Cathedral today to see a Christmas Tree Festival, should be good.

You are right, Alex.    It says about the investigation in the link I put. 

Someone I would willingly hug.?

The man from the lottery calling with a massive cheque..
Alex would get her motor I would pay Liffy's vet bill..
And drinks all round.. 🍻 🥂 at the Jockey's Nostril..

Seven days to go before the big day
Family gatherings and games to play
Christmas pudding and turkey to eat
Family rows cos' someone did cheat
And Maurice came 'out' and said he was gay

We'll do it all again next year
Family gatherings full of good cheer

A follow on to my earlier thread entitled somebody I would willingly strangle which, as is often the case, wandered so far from the post that kicked it off about a comment on the planning application for an HMO next door to me as to be unrecognisable.

Anyway this one is from my PoV a useful comment from the local Community Council whoever they may be although I expect I pay for it.....

I am re-submitting this objection, as it doesn't appear on the portal. Although the HNA we
submitted as part of our response is available. the Community Council object to this
application. The application is contrary to principle 1 in the Houses in Multiple Occupation
SPD 2019. The application would lead to the loss of a family home and an over concentration
of HMOs in the area. This will have an adverse impact on local character and amenity. The
Community Council have used the public register to create a concentration map, this shows
the area is already above the 10% permitted concentration for HMOS. (Appendix 1) Far
Cotton and Delapre Community Council are developing a neighbourhood plan, as part of this
work, the council has worked with AECOM to produce a Housing Needs Assessment
(supplied) for the area. This details the need for a good housing locally; this includes the
need for good-sized family homes. The row of terraces encompassing 68 Towcester Road is
known as Park View and is identified in our Neighbourhood Plan local heritage list as a
character area to be retained in its current form. The Community Council note that there has
been significant local opposition to the development.

Not really. It will just be Lords and Masters and a bunch of virtual slaves. Think how it is in Russia - worse than most third world shit holes for most with zero chance of getting any better while the klepocracy prevails. Allegedly and whether else is needed to keep me out of jail Sir Keir Your Reverend Lord Highness.

It's increasing but I wonder if that isn't down to a lot of black on black violence in cities.

TBH I'm not convinced of the deterrent value. The jihadi crowd don't care, the dim crowd think they'll never be caught and the pissed, drugged, psychopaths, seeing red etc,  types that account for lots of murders basically don't think at all. It's only the thinkers that would be deterred and I reckon they are a minority..

The problem I have are the miscarriages of justice which are far too high. Posthumous pardons and apologies don't really cut it.

It's certainly cheaper though. So long as they get the rope from Lidl not B&Q

Insha Allah

Anyway, bottom line is that the overall trend is that the rate is increasing.  Sure there was the Harold Shipman spike followed by a curious lull.

Which kinda goes against the claim that  hanging doesn't act as a deterrent.

I'd quite like to see the repeat offending stats for those who got hung compared to those that didn't 😉😬

I'd also like to see the cost of hanging versus the cost of lengthy incarceration.

Quote from: JBR on Today at 03:20:30 PMnone of them have the faintest idea how to restore the strength of our country

IMO none of them actually want to. Everything is proceeding according to plan. In just a few generations those annoying white British will have been outbred and be a tiny minority. Then our Lords and Masters can start clamping down on all the benefits, pensions etc. nonsense and get the buggers working for the benefit of them.

The rate per million looks a lot different from the the plain number showing just how much the population has swollen.

That's because I added it when I screen printed the pdf and uploaded it to postimage. There's the per million graph added too now. Not sure why you quoted me three times.
