Any of the above correct?

Given that the mistakes that happen are often by firearms specialists, who knows what would happen if every cop carried one.

Don’t even agree with tasers being used by non-specialists. If you have a cardiac condition they can kill you instantly – that’s a large proportion of the population who might be better off being hit by a bullet. So much…[Read more]

What an uplifting ray of sunshine in a troubled world.

So you’re not just a grumpy old b*gger after all.

I think asking for social cohesion while the economy is flatlining, or possibly plunged into a new crisis (the US fiscal cliff or a eurozone crisis will knock the UK economy flat) is whistling lin the wind.

I agree and that is…[Read more]

I advocate free speech absolutely, but I also advocate the maturity and tolerance it takes to handle it. Many people calling for free speech don’t have that tolerance. :(

We could always lock them up for not being worthy. :roll:

Mmmmm – it’s an option.

You can be in charge of judging the worthy then!

More seriously, I do absolutely believe in freedom of speech, association and movement – something we don’t have in this “free” democratic country. It’s just that the right to free speech is so much more important than the right to be non-PC (or downright abusive).

Yes of course and let’s put the Daily Mail at the head of the call for free speech.

Let’s cheer as it slags off Muslims and other minorities based on straightforward lies.

Let’s whoop with joy as it seeks to make us frightened of our own shadow and the enemies within.

Let’s take our pitchforks in our hands and go out and hunt down the PC…[Read more]

Gotta laugh.

so I hear.

Scep – you make wise observations.

The real question is whether we are in a 70s style situation with its supply side shocks undermining the economy or a 30s style depression. The economy then of course eventually received a huge stimulus in the shape of a world war – not exactly reproducible or desirable.

Inflation seems unlikely to hit double…[Read more]

It’s all about finding someone living to fry cos we can’t hang Savile.

The circus has now started properly. Savile now looks like the greatest abuser in our history, as hundreds come forward, and the media think up more and more bizarre ways to keep the story at shock/horror level. Should his family apologise? Should the management of the BBC…[Read more]

This could be an interesting thread – if everyone is treated with a basic respect. Nobody is supporting abuse of any sort, believe it or not.

Thanks for pointing that out. We do seem to forget it sometimes in the heat of the debate.
