Another shooting

[anotheoldgit]

Why haven't we heard more of this shooting on the News?

I heard a snippet a few days ago but nothing since.

Sorry here is the link.

maybe nothing new to report? Maybe it's just got crowded out by the Peter Tobin story (for instance)?

[vehelpfulguy]

Because under this pathetic Labour government we have become so used to kids getting shot it is not news any more.

Labour have removed the word "govern" from government, they no longer govern. There are loads of problems in this country but they seem to do nothing about them.

With them its all talk and no action.

[sambro]

and under the tories it would be different? i dont think so

[jake-the-peg]

Of course it would sambro.

They'd bring back capital punishment and all the hoodlums and thugs would instantanly get the wind up like the cowardly swine they are and would buck up their ideas and get decent jobs as accountants!

Just like they have in America

[naomi24]

Maybe we're just becoming complacent. Nothing shocks us any more.

[Lucy Thomas]

It doesn't matter one jot what opposition parties say they would do about the problems facing our nation. The only party that matters is the one in government.

Sambro. Are you saying that because the Tories could do no better, it is okay for the Labour government to totally screw this country.

For the last ten years we have had probably the worst government in the history of Britain. Their only answers seem to be to either throw money at it or tax it, neither of which is ever the answer.

Don't you think that the way that kids are brought up is more the responsibility of the parents, rather than the government???

AOG, Opinion piece in todays Telegraph.

Gun and knife killings of young males in our cities are commonplace. With each new one, the newsworthyness of the story is diminished.

I suppose Lucy that your too young to remember what it was like to live in Thatchers Britain in the late 70's/early 80's.

It was champagne and caviar every day, as the miners and steelworkers will tell you. The poll tax riots never happened and we didnt have 3 million unemployed and interest rates didn't go up to 15% overnight and they didn't increase vat from 15% to 17.5% either.

'cos the right wing press in this country is only suitable for wiping your backside on

[Reverandfunk]

[paulos66]

How'd I miss that, respectfully always give him his full name I presume

[Lucy Thomas]

Rev. I'm 44.

[paulos66]

Spinster, Lucy?

[Lucy Thomas]

Why would you assume that? If you must know, I'm happily married with two children.

Are you gay?
