So yet another retired soldier to be prosecuted over Northern Ireland, what is it with our government? okay there was a lot of atrocities committed  by both sides but if you are going to prosecute one side then you have to do the same to the other side not grant them pardons, it seems that one ex soldier is being charged concerning the shooting of a 15 yr old boy, I had a friend who did 3 tours of duty in Northern Ireland he had to go into hiding due to the fact he was being hunted by the I.R.A, he used to say how terrible it was out there, the problems they had was not so much with the men, but with the women and kids some as young as 6-7 who used throw not only bricks etc at the soldiers but also dog and human excrement and buckets of urine thrown over them plus all the verbal abuse and yet they were not allowed to retaliate, some of the older kids i.e. were even given guns and told to shoot at the troops, but again if they shot back they would be charged unless they could prove it was kids that shot at them, considering they used to hide behind the younger kids and women it was difficult to prove, I wonder how many of our troops could stand this type of fighting today?

Well isn't that typical of our selfish spoilt brats of politicians, the country's in a mess, they get granted an extension to sort the mess that is Brexit out and they go on holiday, even the Euro MP's are amazed, they can't make up their minds on a deal so what do they do? bury their heads in the sand, these people have had it to easy for to long it's time we had a new party, one that is going to put the people of this country first, not politicians who are in it for an easy life and lining their pockets by fiddling their expenses etc.

I see a police driver who knocked a boy off of a scooter he had just stolen could face charges of misconduct, the question is WHY? people seem to forget these little toe rags should not be committing the offence in the 1st place, but as usual it is easier to blame everybody else except the toe rags and their parents. Now Wales has decided to stop parents from punishing their children, does it not occur to anybody that it's because of lack of discipline that these kids are like it, so because once again the do-gooders get their own way and get these ludicrous laws introduced every body else has to suffer the consequences, with police having to waste their time cleaning up the mess that the parents should have been stopping in the 1st place, but because of these stupid laws the police, teachers and most of all parents are now afraid to discipline their kids because of fear of being prosecuted. Nobody wants to see children beaten or abused but a good sharp smack to the backside never ...

I have read that some billionaires have raised 600 million dollars in 24 hours to help rebuild Notre Dame, I find that so disgusting that a wealthy institution like the church can benefit from that much money, when I think how many starving children this could feed and how much it could help towards cleaning up the plastic etc from this planet, I have no doubt that some of them got rich on the backs of the oil industry from which plastic is made, they probably think it is going to buy them a better place in heaven when they die. sad how they can give away part of their fortunes to already rich institutions but not to the people that need it, but then I suppose we must keep the clergy in the lifestyle it's used to.
