He was never ever wanting to protect the country, I struggle to see why people from day one didnot understand he was only ever in it for himself, but then I never understood the fandom of Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson either.

Seems to me that is playing out pretty badly for us all these days, not helped by poor or non existent regulation.

Its even stupider than that, with a national ID there would be no need for these private companies to hold any information of significance on you to be able to log on other than you have a government ID that permits you to use that website. Its amazing really how we are all willing to give away our private information to all and sundry but at the same time don't wish to have a national id that would hold no more information on us than the government already hold.

Can anyone really be that thick, that they see that poster as a vote winner...............oh wait a minute!!

My question to the average Brexiteer,do they persinally feel more in control of anything and if so what.

I can agree that subsidised was not really a fair term, but if there was a larger social housing sector all rents would be lower as private sector landlords would have to compete with social housing on cost. Whilst it maybe true that we will always need a private rented sector, it has grown way too large and the middle classed have taken advantage of the almost guaranteed investment returns available during the housing booms of the 90's and early 2000s. Resulting in far fewer younger people being able to afford to buy and were therefore forced to rent, putting rental prices up, resulting in even bigger returns for those that invested at that time. Now that the guaranteed return has disappeared those same people who have made vast sums over the last few are wishing to get out and complaining about government policy, when it was government policy of the 90's and early 2000's that almost solely responsible for those crazy investment returns. In a normal market house prices would be crashing now but government can't afford to let that happen so I suspect the ambitious house building plans they won't be met as government policy will not be fully enacted as they wished. I am afraid the country is stuck in a chicken and egg situation and unless a government is able and willing to come in a take some very serious pain in the short term, then this country will continue to decline. It seems to me that no party is offering that, least of all the one that seems to have the vote of those at most need to needing it at the moment.

Nearly all of our economic problems stem from the housing crisis, instigated by Thatcher's right to buy scheme of the 80's and subsequent governments abject failure to provide able housing stock for its citizens. A very high percentage of our increased benefit costs goes in housing benefit, most of which goes to subsidise landlords.

It is fine to fly on your house, as long as do not exceed a certain size. Rules have been in place for sometime. As usual the Sun making a fuss over nothing.

In English please, my apologies if it is your second language.

No, the call alleged a racial assault.

I have seen the footage and have said all along that the officers here made mistakes and should clearly have acted more swiftly on the victims cry for help. I fail to see though where this is evidence of 2 tier policing, the officers had been notified of a crime being committed and acted on that information in the initial stages as most would have expected them to have done. I can't comment on the searching aspect as I am not and never have been a copper, far too stressful for me, as it is for the vast majority many of whom believe that they would always get it right no matter how difficult the situation they found themselves in. I see nothing in the video that suggests the officers were not dong their best, unfortunately that is sometimes not good enough in terms of consequences, as we have all found in our working and home life I am sure.

Possibly but it is also not unknown for offenders to claim they have been stabbed when they haven't.

My apologies jumped in too quick on the racism accusation. However this also has no relationship to race at all, in this case the perpetrator phoned in to allege an offence had taken place, it is irrelevant what offence that was, when corroborated by others on the scene, it would not be unusual for officers to attempt an arrest. It looked to me in those early stagers that he was resisting arrest and was acting as if intoxicated, not unusual in stabbing cases. Where I do agree is that the officers were way to slow to recognise the man was in real distress. I would suggest you read the summing up of the judge if you want to get a balanced view of the actions of the officers involved, after all he has heard and seen all the evidence, we have not.

There was evidence passed to them by their control room that a criminal offence had taken place and on arrival at the scene other witnesses confirmed that. Where is the edence that this has anything to do with racism except through your blinkered lens. I don't disagree that this was poor policing but racism??, I don't think so from what I saw (except perhaps on the part of the perpetrator).

Fair comment, but perhaps we should wait for those to come out before drawing conclusions based on one tragic incident.

While there is clearly a perception of that around, the statistics around the criminal justice system do not back it up, quite the opposite in fact.

Really, while I can't say I have seen nothing on white privilege to say it was all over the media is somewhat of an exaggeration, but guess if you are looking for it there will be plenty on social media as there is on nearly any subject. Never once have I been asked to address my white privilege.

Only racists were being vilified, I am afraid to say that if you could not see that then if the cap fits.

The person who listened to all the evidence and has vast experience of the judicial system does not agree with you.

I'll wager that whenever the police recieve a report of a crime and treat it as an emergency that the caller is believed and that the accused is not. Clearly lessons need to be learned but this was a chaotic situation and police had difficulty decisions to make under pressure and with limited information.

You of course have evidence for that. You might like to read the Judge's summing up who was clearly sympathetic to the predicament the police found themselves in.

Unlikely, it is only resident doctors who are striking

While I am.all for a fairer voting system I am struggling to understand how voting independent will progress that wish.

While I agree to an extent that labour have been disappointing, should have been much bolder in my view even if that had pissed people off. Love to know what reforms you think were require, given that the Tories had spent 14 years reforming the public sector under the guise of austerity, and look how that worked out.

Yes, because the very checks and balances that cause the beaucracy that people conplain of was completly ignored.
