Oh dear........... how queer! <div id="songlyrics" style="font-size: 13px; font-family: verdana" align="left">When I was young my father said "Son I have something to say" And what he told me I'll never forget Until my dyin' day. He said "Son you are a bachelor boy And that's the way to stay. Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day When I was sixteen I fell in love With a boy as sweet as could be. But I remember'd just in time, What my daddy said to me. He said "Son you are a bachelor boy And that's the way to stay. Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day As time goes by I propably will Meet a boy and fall in love Then I'll get married have a he-wife And he'd be my turtle dove. But until then I'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way I'll stay, Happy to be a bachelor boy, Until my dyin' day. But until then I'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way I'll stay, Happy to be a bachelor boy, Until my dyin' day.</div>

Is this where the penny drops and you pretend to have been joking..... </p> ....whilst trying to smokescreen your embarrassment?</p> Where's your dignity man?</p>
I'll ring the United Nations tomorrow and tell them they're wrong! Cos some feckwit from Barnsley sez so!
You silly, silly old man. </p> It'sverging onsick the way you repeatedly drag out your humiliation.</p>
you really can't type fast enough to get that word out can you...... you PC boys throw that word around like confetti.
Some of that thinking is waffle You seem to suggest that people are more productive on the dole than in full time work. Well that might be all well and good but its definately the minority. I know people who have been on the dole since leaving school at the same time as me, 20 years ago. Instead of working they just stuck out their hand and accepted the welfare payments and got a couple of kids knocked out. Now they have a council house, £300 a week cash in hand to cope with 'disabled' adhd kids and a mobility car for free just as icing on the cake. Are they productive. Also it irks me that, even if we were to accept your argument that they are more productive, I as a taxpayer should have to pay for them. Why should they have a choice whether to go out and do voluntary work whilst my wife and I have to work full time! I would much rather spend my time curating in an art gallery or looking after injured wildlife. Unfortunately I dont have a choice. Why should I pay? If you can answer that then I will vote for you!
It's curious how we supposedly live in a democracy, yet all governments seem to actively pursue policies that the majority are against. Examples: The poll tax Mass immigration Policy on Europe for the last 20 years The majority are also in favour of re-introducing the death penalty for the most serious crimes, so why don't we have one?
RE: I don't agree with physically harming them No of course not, but then i don't think locking most people away and institutionalising them is a good idea either. Nor is leaving them to sit around 24 hours a day with people who can teach them to be better criminals. The problem exists before they arrive in jail, if the government spent more time and money sorting that out we'd have less of a problem.
It's been tried and guess what? People are still re-offending. You'd have to be a fool to think that it's as simple as this and as simple as thinking people "choose to be criminals". FFS.
What am I scared of? Maybe some stupid civil servant leaving his laptop on a railway station, which just might happen to contain all my personal data?
I'd vote for all of that except.... 1) Zero tolerance on illegal immigration. I think we can take pride in long having been a refuge for the persecuted of the world. WhilstI think we do need to identify and toughen up on those who turn up illegally to abuse our hospitality we also must remember that there are those in desperate need who don't have the time or the wherewithall to arrange asylum beforehand.</p> 2) Prisons. Punishment is only one element (and the most contentious and (arguably) unimportant one.) Taking someone away from their families and all the choices of life is punishment enough. Brutalising or further disenfranchising prisoners doesn't work. Our aim is toconvert as many as possible intolaw-abiding citizens. In this case the only way to get respect is to show it.</p> Let's not let the fluffies push us to extremism. The political battle should be between reasonable ways and their extremism, not opposite extremes.</p>
Are you suggesting they dont choose to become involved crime? seriously? FFS get a grip. We ALL have choices, and those who take the wrong option deserve to be punished, so yes, i do beleive its as simple as that.</p> Work hard, or become a criminal? not too dificult to make a right choice there is it.</p>
