Violet It saddens me when folk like yourself make comments without any real proof that human lives can be valued based on there geographic location. So i presume you have spent some time living working in the middle east i remember seing a 11 year old shouting abuse at Isreali security forces before blowing himself to bits and i have witnessed worse than that. Life is cheap in some parts of ...
Paul The problem with sea defences listening to the experts and a little research is every piece of coast is different and what works for one may not work for another. I have no idea what the answer is but what i do know is that sea levels are rising and these weather events are increasing so we need a solution that retains the rail link and more importantly protects Dawlish.
The sea wall is vital as protection for Dawlish so if we accept that to be fact then presumably the track will stay on top of it. The problem is complex but if we believe the science sea levels are rising and severe weather events are increasing, so we probably need a stronger and higher possibly 3to 4 ft higher sea wall with flood gates at the viaduct. This event could be a wake up call for ...

A further problem will be the continuing bad weather do you put lives over property and can this work be carried out while we have one severe weather front after another. The problem with these events is we all get wound up because we perceive that nothing is being done but ...

They add to that by hinting that the unemployed are all scroungers and it has to be sorted and somehow these unemployed scroungers are to blame for the position we find ourselves in. But as anybody with one ounce of sense knows its all pye in the sky, and that ...
The figures have always been there these are 2012 figures the 2013 figures are not yet available but will show a drop in Jobseekers and a increase in State pension its very strange theres been no comments but it blows out of the water the argument that the unemployed are bleeding us dry. The strange thing is Mr Cameron has these figures they where produced by the D.W.P it shows how a little ...
