bungle

You are completely wrong. 1) This is a load of cr*p. Prison doesn't work because the more liberal in our society have been ignored. For the most serious criminals it should be real punishment, and sentences should mean what they say. For most, however, it should act as a real opportunity to re-train, learn skills and be giving a chance to start again in society. At the moment prison just breeds repeat offenders. 2) Again, you are wrong. The reason we aren't catching them is because we aren't catching them, it has nothing to do with ability to procesute. This is partly because police are overstretched financially. I love the irony that you think liberals are causing all the problems. I just wish that real liberal views and ideals had a chance to be put into practice. Sadly, we continue to be ignored by reactionary governments.

Maybe that's not the original intention, but I have to say with everything they are trying to introduce it is tough to think that these powers and resources will not be mis-used.

I take issue with this on 2 counts: 1) We are sending far too many people to prison. Prison doesn't work. 2) We aren't actually catching enough real criminals. The Govt and Police are poncing about talking tough, but they fail to actually arrest people who are committing crimes. If they'd stop talking tough, and if they stopped wasting money on things like ID Cards, then perhaps the police could deter crime by actually catching criminals in the first place, something they are not doing.

Excellent. You have totally lost the plot.

Worst argument of the lot, by some distance. I do not want to be watched over at all times on the basis that I may decide to do something wrong. I, and all citizens, are entitled to a private life and personal freedoms. Sadly, they are being stripped away, and even more sadly many people are willing to stand by and accept it.

That's never been proven either. And what happened to innocent until proven guilty? Why should everyone have their data held and be treated as a criminal at all times? This country is so proud because of it's liberal history, not it's removal of rights and liberties.

oh noes!!!111 let's make everyone submit a 25 page form applying for specific permissions everytime they want to leave their house!!!! Everyone is a criminal.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7764069.stm Truly excellent news to see the Government defeated on this issue. Although I await to see what kind of botched replacement law they come up with so they can try and hold all of our data. The Scottish system is, IMO, right.

4 signings announced for Poole now: Bjarne, Chris Holder, DD and Kyle Legault

What accessories are included in the bundle: number of controllers etc?

They should not ever be allowed, on any forum.

I think you'll find that should read "new favourite word", as the word "chair" is not a new word. Your poorly structured sentence implies the latter. HTH.

This is interesting as I am sure you are/were a remember of the Royal Navy and I do wonder if perhaps you may have noticed some people from other parts of Britain in the same navy? Also, they should stop playing football at Wembley and make it a permanent NFL stadium. About time it saw some real sport.

I think that you will find that our country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and therefore Murrayfield is, indeed, in this country. Many thanks.

Good pricing policy. Ticket buying procedure is a little confusing, but I know I can get my seat on Friday, so m3h.

The Longest Yard. Although aren't there now about 350 versions of this film? I had a conversation with someone recently about the 'original' and they presumed I was talking about the Vinnie Jones version. It made me very angry.

I think you will find I said he wasn't the only one, just the only one on the list. And, secondly, no, I wouldn't do the same. And if I did then I certainly wouldn't keep harping on about being a "local lad from Stevenage". He's one or the other.

Looks like it is only going to be one next year. Apparently Murrayfield wanted the game, but it has gone to Wembley again, which is good as it is better transport links from all across the country.

Wahey, being lazy has saved me money.

Youngsters just can't hack it these days.

It is being arranged as a special play-off game specifically for my amusement at watching England lose and blame the pitch. lolz.

Hamilton is a "normal guy from Stevenage" when it suits him, and runs aways from the country the moment he might have to give some of his massive fortune back. (He's not the only one, by the way, just happens to be the only one on this list.)

Can people please learn to spell "Hoy" - it is only 3 letters, not hard. Many thanks in advance.

Hopefully it'll get postponed, then the NFL will ruin the pitch and England will lose to Christmas Island 4-0 in the re-arranged game, thus knocking them out of the WC.
