The problem is instead of using their majority to actually make some positive changes and facing the reality of where we are, they are doing very little, and not even taking the argument to the factions of the labour party. Its so depressing. Surely by now they can see they are heading for screwed and might as well do something.

Starmer is irritating, incompetent, and has completely blown a huge majority like no one in history* but despite that thinks he should continue to lead the country, presumably straight into the hands of Nigel Farage. Many people find that intensely annoying, if not hateful, not just Reform voters. *since Boris anyway.

In their defense, I would imagine it extremely rare to arrive at a stabbing to find the actual attacker still there and calmly accusing the victim of a racist attack. Psychopathic behaviour imo, and out of the ordinary for the officers involved.

They showed more concern for the murderer's accusation of racist behaviour than of the victim staying he had been stabbed. Now I am no expert in these things, but I do think that of the two assertions the one about being stabbed might be a slightly higher priority for investigation in the moment by a trained officer of the law.

As an Atheist I don't see any religion justifying any kind of special treatment or carrying any kind of weapon under the law. If it is required by their belief, I am sure they could carry a blunt non pointy blade. Generally speaking we do not allow people to carry weapons in self-defence, so Sikhs should be no exception.

Hi Deb, while it doesn't have the world-famous landmarks, Perth / WA is a lovely place to visit, and the Qantas direct or various other options via the middle east or Singapore are pretty good. We live close to Freo which I would say is more interesting than staying in the city and a good base to explore. You can get the train into Perth easily when you want to for Museums, Elizabeth Quay, Kings Park - free buses (CAT) once you get into the city and the train is super cheap if you get a Smartrider card for $20 (contactless credit cards also work but more expensive). In Freo the Markets, lots of bars and restaurants, ferry to Rottnest to see some Quokkas and do some snorkelling. Nice beaches around, we like Cottesloe, Leighton to the north (both on the Freo - Perth train line) and South Beach and our home beach Coogee to the south - Cogee and Cottesloe both have a Shark net if you are concerned about swimming. For Margs you need a car - we usually use Bayswater Car Hire, usually the cheapest and a good choice of cars. The drive down is about 3hours + traffic, with some nice stop offs along the way. Once "Down South" as the locals call anywhere past Bunbury, lots to explore. Wineries everywhere (and plenty of Breweries too), beautiful beaches, Dunsborough, Busselton Jetty, Lighthouses, Caves. Head down to Augusta / Cape Leeuwin where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet, or even over to Albany (about 4 hours). The Southern Ocean coast is incredibly beautiful. If you head north from Perth there a few interesting towns once you get out of the suburbs, a loop to Lancelin Sand Dunes, into Cervantes Lobster shack for lunch then to the Pinnacles toward sunset the light is spooky. If out of the suburbs you need to drive carefully from dusk onwards due to Kangaroos waking up and heading out. You can also get a coach trip to do this.

Can we please make sure we use his surname just to avoid any doubt...

4000+ is a huge response, well done Trust for getting this done. If the club ignore such a survey they are being willfully blind to the fans feelings. On another note, 188 people rate the ownership performance as good or very good..... How many people work for the club at the moment?

They had a high income at the time, he was earning over 100k and Nicola more than that I guess and living modestly as you say. She was first minister when this happened. Strikes me as a weak man who was feeling outshone by his wife and stealing to make himself feel good. Of course he would work pretty hard to hide it. Much as I don't like her politics or her personally, she is very principled and I find it harder to believe she would overlook something like this than he could hide it. More likely she was very busy and not paying attention and he was hiding it well. If you take out the motor home which was kept elsewhere, none of it couldn't be hidden or justified. From a governance perspective, she trusted her husband to run the party, which is exactly why it was completely inappropriate to have a husband and wife as CEO and Party leader, especially for such a long time. This should have been obvious to her, and this is enough reason to condemn her IMO. Ridiculous failure of oversight. Swinney in the middle of it too, he should be gone for this.

Late Autumn, here, 23 degrees yesterday.

Ah those pesky Americans and their 500 million straws a day!

I have no issue with them commenting. Why the press think we give a shit is the mystery.

Makes you wonder is anyone is actually explaining to these ****s that the law here is very very different to that in Afghanistan.

Yeah we either win it or go out in the group with the most pathetic of wimpers. My money is on the latter sadly. I am not sure any of them have the fight.

Grass by itself isn't going make very good compost, you need leaves, cardboard or other brown stuff too.
