They won't keep quiet until they get justice?

He's like a Dad taking his toddler for a kick about and then letting him score whilst pretending to defend.

Fair enough, apologies if I was a bit forthright http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jean_Charles_de_Menezes He lived in block of flats that were being watch by Police and was mistaken for a terrorist due to a highly flawed Police operation. The Met then deliberately leaked out false information to cover their incompetence.

This is patently untrue on so many levels, quite an achievement.

Not in a criminal sense but certainly in a professional sense - the whole operation was racked by incompetence

FFS this is sheer ignorance, he didn't get any warnings from the police and was never asked to stop. The facts are well established if you can be bothered to do a bit of reading.

Read a nice interview with him in the Guardian a month or two ago, very humble guy with a really great outlook on life. Talking about his space walk:

Amzing pictures, what an experience that must be to look down on Earth. I like best the photo of the frozen lake in the Mongolian desert.

Until a current player comes out then all we'll be able to do is "imagine". Maybe it won't be as bad as you imagine?

...

I suppose by asking leading quations you could easily get people to exaggerate past deeds. Being boring wouldn't get you much airtime so if one was naiive and interested in being on TV a lot one might give the producers what they wanted.

Typical of Channel 4 to take a serious issue and then sensationalise it. I don't think anyone on there who is fraudulent or criminal can complain if their wrongdoing is now exposed.

CHDAJFU?

So for all this to be "true": Saints players need to have informed Dan Harding reliably. Dan Harding needs to have informed his father-in-law reliably. You need to have actually met Dan Harding's father-in-law and not be telling a porkie-pie. Dan Harding's father-in-law needs to have then informed you reliably and then you need to have informed this message board reliably. It's not really much different to "my mate's brother drives a cab and his passenger was....." is it?

How do you rate Ings compared to Austin and Rodriguez in terms of ability to perform in the Prem?

True but Tories are supposed to ideologically opposed to this meddling in the market.

You could say that about every part of this story right from the initial PR piece with Cameron. In any case if the Tory spin doctors had done their own research a bit better they might have found someone else. The only thing in the original PR piece I find a bit dubious is that she works for an Estate Agents and so has a vested interest in boosting activity and so her endorsement of right-to-buy is both personal and professional which isn't clear initially.

Have I demonised anyone?

I think you can run a modern central heating system of coal generated electricity so your first sentence is irrelevant. With regard to the cheaper gas generated electricity I'm guessing you haven't factored in the welfare payments made to the decimated communities affected by pit closures or the negative impact on the UK balance of payments of importing more and more energy?

lol yeah its all going swimmingly

But you wouldn't argue that prohibition would do any good for alcohol would you? The answer is to legalise with effective and strictly enforced controls. Ever been to the US? bloody difficult to get hold of booze under the age of 21. I've seen it put that teenagers find it easier to get hold of booze in so-called dry states because black marker suppliers will supply to anyone regardless of age.

lol I doubted your categoric statement that marijuana was "highly addictive". Seems like your the one doing the running, perhaps you could elaborate or provide some links to further reading? If weed is "highly addictive" what would you say of alcohol, nicotine, heroine, crack and crystal meth?

Highly addictive? sounds a little exaggerated if you ask me.

Irrelevant. The point is that prohibition has failed to prevent widespread use of weed. Ironically the cause of the rise of skunk is that prohibition has provided an incentive to dramatically increase the potency and therefore value of smuggled and illegal grown drugs. One of the problems of weed being illegal is that it inhibits proper research into the health impacts of drugs with the mental health impacts poorly understood.

and yet it didn't and hasn't put off hundreds of thousands of people who have taken it and continue to do so.
