I think, know, a number of people have withdrawn from this thread because they feel it’s become quite personal.
It’s an emotive topic, people are bound to get passionate about it, but where has it got personal? Me saying that I hoped that if poli ever got called up for jury service I hoped she wouldn’t get a case of sexual assault or rape? Look back to the first page…

The kiss would be inappropriate yes sexual assault i don’t think so, i think we should concentrate on the real issues here, like if actual sexual assault took place, sorry but yes you maybe offended by a kiss like that and may make you furious, but its on a whole different scale to sexual assault, and delving into that instead of concentrating on the major accusations would be pointless unless used to make a case strong enough perhaps.
An unwanted kiss of a sexual nature (and you’d be hard pushed to say that a french kiss is not of a sexual nature) is sexual assault.

But over the years many groupies would offer a whole lot more than that, it was a different time to now.
These were young girls, not groupies. What happens between two consenting adults is between them. This was not between two consenting adults.
If you are ever called up for jury service I sincerely hope that you don’t get a case of sexual assault or rape.
omg who’s in my beanbag? Can’t be me, I don’t “do” pink! :shock:

jeez, hopefully.
Otherwise it would be like ‘Wiki’ leaning over your shoulder with all the correct answers all the time ?
And with a dictionary and ‘Board Police ‘ badge thrust continually in your face ?I’d like to say I’ve missed you but I’m not a good liar.
Am I on ignore? :?

I just think we’re suffering as a country and urgently need somebody to take charge and make decisions (however unpopular those decisions might be).
And to do it in a firm and decisive way, not caring for scoring media points or apologising and saying things like “I know it’s tough but it’s tough on all of us, we’re all in this together” when we’re blatantly not.
I can’t see anyone like that on the political horizon though :(

You know, we go from election to election knowing that whoever takes charge of this country won’t be up to the job and it kind of makes you wonder if there is actually a point to voting.
These days I find myself more and more confused on who to vote for, they all seem much of a muchness, each as bad as each other, and I don’t have any confidence in any of their abilities to run the country. There don’t seem to be any strong characters that could deal with a crisis and their policies seem to pretty much merge into one big amorphous mess. Do they have the foggiest idea on how to get us out of our current mess? I don’t really think so.
So is there a point to voting? Yes. Women suffered so I can vote, there are people all over the world who still have no right to vote, to squander such a right would not sit easily on my conscience and the fact that I live in a party stronghold where my vote doesn’t make much difference is immaterial. Besides, if you don’t vote, how can you complain? :wink:
I was just reading about this and had very mixed feelings.
On the one hand I think we should be marking it, that we should make sure it’s never forgotten…
On the other hand does it really need to cost £50 million when we’re in the state we’re in? It’s not even as if it will benefit the economy or provide new jobs or help the long term unemployed and/or disabled get back into work or…I could go on and on.
Hmmmmm :-k
