are you serious mathew?


christ this place has gone to the dogs lately


What is the answer? Well what is the question?


here's one - should drugs be illegal in the first place? Where does the crime stem from - the drugs, the dealers or forcing something with a pretty large market into the shadows?


Here's another - what's wrong with existing legislation to catch drug dealers - my understanding is that people are more hacked off wih the sentences thet receive than the fact that they aren't caught


Thirdly - where do you live? Because I can grass you up when we have a police state and see how you like it.

Who gets to choose which elements of the criminal world deserve torture and when and in what form? Who agrees to become a state trained torturer? Do you really want to live in a country where there is public debate about whether child sex offences are more serious than adult sex offences, and if so, whether punishment by genital mulitation would be an acceptable form of torture to elicit confession? Are you able to sit through a torture session and feel just as humane and dignified as you do at the moment? Do you trust our police force and politicians enough to make those decisions for you and stick to them?

Why has this place gone to the dogs Sean? Because some of us have views that are not as liberal as yours ? Well I'll admit, I hate drug dealers. I also hate Paedos. And I hate people who commit random acts of violence for absolutely no reason at all. And quite frankly I would not lose a wink of sleep to know that these people were getting all that's coming to them. Call it karma.

The place has gone to the dogs because you don't have to have a scintilla of time for drugdealers/paedos to realise that employing the tactics you espouse is a road to hell for all of us


Investing the police/army with that kind of power (or whenever/wherever they decide to seize it for themselves) has never ever ever ever ever ever led to any kind of peaceful harmonious society with nothing to fear. or are you going to show me somewhere? And don't forget to show the whole picture now...


The place has gone to the dogs because some people think it's enough to say "I don't like drug dealers or paedos" as if there is a bunch of us who do. You haven't thought beyond your most basic instincts - "maim! destroy!"

I hate Nick Griffin, Paris Hilton and people who split their infinitives. Shall we kill them too? Or just lop off a limb?

Sean - I wasn't having a go in particular at drug lords but more a general point that we cannot slap everyone's wrist and expect them all to fall into line. No, different elements need different policies. There is no one solution for all.


How many people are against the death sentence and torture because they are concerned they'll one day through no fault of their own be the victim of such punishment, rather than think what will make this country a safer place for law abiding citizens?



* checks the calendar *


yep 2009 still


have we not spent several millenia learning valuable lessons. Death Sentences and torture have never made for A Good And Happy Place to Live. In fact they have made things very much worse.


What will make the country a safer place for law abiding citizens? In another thread I said you have 2 choices - the scandanavian liberal model or the Saudi rule-by-fear


The model WE have chosen in this country makes for dog eat dog - so you can't cry foul when teh dogs get rabid.


Oh and whatever system you choose you will never be able to be a 100% safe. Humans just ain't like that. But we can usefully spend our lives trying to mitigate baser instincts as much as possble. And that inclide torture, death penalty etc right in there with murderes and rapists


Is that liberal? or is that not just screamingly, blindingly obvious. Prove me wrong - show me anywhere outside Jon Gaunts head where this kind of madness has led to a better society?

Where do we draw the line? Is there a need to draw a line between an annoying celebrity and a paedophile? Surely any fool can differentiate?

Sean what do you mean by 'worked' ? You use two examples, the Swedish model and the Saudi model. Do you have statistics to compare the drug dealing convictions in Sweden compared to Saudi Arabia? How else can it be proved which system works with regards to this type of crime?

Yes JTT they can, and I was exaggerating to make the point. You hate drug dealers. Others hate rapists. Others think armed robbery in your own home in the middle of the night when your wife and kids are asleep is as terrifying as it can get. You seem to be arguing that some of these things deserve torture as a response, and by extension some don't. I have no doubt that some people would happily torture Nick Griffin simply for the political views he holds. The point is that someone has to draw the line between crimes that are awful and crimes that are so serious that torture to gain confession is a valid tool. Who are they and how do they do it?

Paris Hilton is a convicted drink driver and has been to prison for it. Should she have been tortured to extract a confession to other drink driving occurences that the police didn't happen to catch her commiting? On your logic if she's done it once she's probably done it more than once, and drink divers have killed in the past. Nick Griffin has been investigated several times for inciting racial hatred and corruption though no charges has ever been brought. Should he have been tortured in order to extract a confession during either of those two investigations? Some instances of incitement to racial hatred have led to murder.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
