Being an old fart who has had the sad misfortune to be born in the U.K and had to endure decades of bull from politicians. I have slowly, over the years, evolved an inbuilt bull s££t translator. Which has been working over time with politicians saying how the government will cope and the NHS. Batten down the hatches... World War V is here and the incompetent are in charge. God save us all.

I remember the years that some councillors were extremely proud of the fact that they didn't increase the precept year upon year. But they did keep up with pay increases for the staff, and the cost of any services they paid for increased and any materials they bought increased so effectively each year they could do less with the money they had. There should be a small increase each year, the ...

Nice gesture, but to be stuck in a crowd of people shouting and cheering at this moment in time doesn't seem the best option for your health. Not to mention traveling to and from and using public toilets and food outlets, in my opinion.

Get rid of her and her cronies and get more police now with the money u would save.

And we all know which people get the most out of these positions of power, DONT WE?

I doubt it.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-announces-new-points-based-immigration-system Nice one Boris. Great to have a PM on our side for once. A points based system is ideal and should have been done decades ago. We don't need any more lazy people, we got plenty of our own.

You don't need a centre you need coppers walking the streets and gaining local knowledge and the confidence of the local people. The centre will just be a money pit that does very little other than house a group of over paid individuals sitting in sterile environments. It will then most probably be closed after a year or so as ineffectual. Real world problems need real world actions. Just look who ...
