Although it is the boring option, I have to agree.

Fair point.

I suspect they might have worked all of that out in the last year.

Unless they don't actually care how results are gained, so long as their kids benefit.

Brilliant. Who could argue with the choice of God himself. I totally understand people supporting the school their kids attend, but how anyone can just dismiss any claims of wrong doing is beyond me.

Not wasting anyone time Saffron. Can probably be solved with eye patches used to make muscles work harder. If you're at all concerned, ask for a referral to Kings.

But if wrong doing is happening (and I emphasise the IF), it does need investigating, whether it inconveniences some kids or not. Harsh I know, but necessary.

Because there is a chance he could get out of prison at some stage, and that is wrong. Please don't imply that everyone is being racist and giving his an easier time because he's white, because that is bollocks. Perhaps the difference is that we all know Al Qaedas reasons for their attacks, whereas this one is something new, so people are more interested in the WHYS.

Perhaps life in a secure hospital, rather than in prison. That would probably get around the max sentence thing. Bit like Ian Brady.

Kel, for all we know, it was the exam board who told the press. Good point ianr, it does seem more likely that this group voiced their concerns, and their names have been kept out of it, rather than an anonymous tip off from phonetic on a country lane, on a dark rainy night.

Exactly right Cassius. I'm all for people doing what they like,so long as the take a bit of social responsibility.

Posted those 2 without reading Strafer's post, otherwise I'd have just said What Strafer said.

Equally, if some nut job, acting alone, decides to go on a killing spree, there is not a lot that cam be done to prevent that I'm affair, and no government can be held responsible.

The killer has made claims that he had meetings with British far right extremists some years ago, so it is already being investigated. Plus there is a department of the police who specifically deal with domestic terror threats. Edited because the stupid auto correct on my phone makes no sense!

If the school is cleared of wrong doing, I hope the SLP (rag that it is) will put that on their front page. Equally, the school could be doing wrong, in which case, I hope that are punished.

That's what I thought, your bump looked so neat and compact when I saw you a couple of weeks ago!

Pedro, good work for not rising to silverfox's little attempt at trolling.

On the Foir Gras thread today, it was pointed out to me that it was unfair to compare the legal practice of producing and eating FG to dog fighting or badger baiting, because they are criminal. By that token, one can't compare am alcohol outlet to a dealer. That said, I am pretty sure there are rules about serving intoxicated people, and whoever served that man was very much in the wrong.

I will just say that I think the word dictatorial has no place on this thread, even though I take your point.

No, not fair at all, I was just being obnoxious. And having a bit of a joke. Everything seems to be getting a bit serious on here today, I think I'm better off shutting up for the moment.

Heinz, what exactly is your problem? You keep directing posts at me, without actually making any points, or explaining what you disagree with. I've never been called haughty before though. Cool.

I know David.

Bravo Ruth! You never know, if you're in for a couple of days, we may see you in there!

Assumptions, think the post mortem is this afternoon. I think suicide is just as likely. Anyway, sorry to hear about your friend, but believe me, I do not need telling about the potential dangers of booze, and I would never trivialise it. But many many many people just enjoy a drink, and I am far from convinced that the same could be said for heroin.

" I'm to understand from your comment that I'm proposing making heroin as available as alcohol then am i?' Er, no. I was just saying that IF they were equally available, the figures you quoted would be completely different. DJ made exactly the same point, although perhaps she worded it better. The tone of your last few posts felt quite condescending, and riled me to be honest. Also, I don't really agree that there are plenty of recreational heroin users out there who have it totally under control. Where is this info from?
