Human rights for murderers but not for the victim ?
The sentences for these two miscreants was too little to start with now it will be a shameful joke .

And he could draft a new exemptions
For those guilty of manslaughter.
All it needs is political will .

This will sink him .
The people will see him as he is a ruthless politician  who will do what he wants not what the people want .
Over a million people have signed this petition which is more than those who voted for Burnham in the Makerfield set up job .

Could be he can't act. Lots of government power has been passed over to quangos, and courts, Those courts rule by our human rights act which incorporates European human rights law various international treaties and probably loads more stuff that wants weeding out. I'm pretty sure that he'll be saying that it is all out of his hands and that may even be true. The whole rotten ediface needs a huge chopper and the politicians just don't seem to have the balls to take it in hand  :rolleyes:

We've been with Octopus for a while, fixed rate, dual fuel, compares pretty well to others.  We'll probably just stick with them too.

Quote from: Mups on August 15, 2026, 10:00:00 PMI managed to get an appointment for Liffey this morning.   
The young vet did a flea check first - nothing there.
She thinks it is an allergy of some sort.

I showed her all the places that she had made sore,  especially her tummy,  and the vet was surprised at just had bad it was.   
She has given me some tablets for here,  plus a skin spray I have never seen before.  When you press the nozzle, a foam comes out.   
I have to rub rub this into her skin and watch she doesn't lick it until it is dry.  She said I can also still give her the Piriton,  but I haven't decided about that yet, I'll see how it goes first.

Lif is very quiet today,  and sleeping most of the time,  but there seems a slight improvement,  so that is encouraging at least,  but unless I know what she is allergic to,  I don't know what to keep her away from!
Just parted with another £90-something pounds.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, Scrumps, Alex and Muddy. 
I hope it works 🤞🏼.  One of my son's dogs gets something itchy on her paws, she licks them raw if they don't spot her doing it.  Like you, they bathe her and put ointments on, but it comes back.  The latest suggestion is it might be the grass irritating her skin? Cone of shame is on at night 😢

As you are exiting an octopus fix rate you most likely are on the same  fix rate gas as me and have three choices. Take the follow on fix rate, take the variable rate or move to a different supplier.

I won't go to another supplier as I want to take same gas as electric and their electric suits my solar set up.

I looked at fixed and variable and even after the upcoming hike in variables it is marginally less than the new fixed but there are a couple more changes before the new fix ends and I really can't see those being down so I  chose the new fix. There are exit penalties this time so I'll be stuck with it.

I think perhaps I will stick with the Fixed tariff again,  and see how it goes this winter.
Thanks for the comments.
