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?

Just been reading an article in the Daily Express online (  https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1110369/brexit-news-how-much-has-brexit-cost-so-far-total-brexit-delay ) about the cost of Brexit so far, £116,060,578,792. What an absolutely staggering amount. That’s more than £100 billon, this could have funded 1,290 hospitals, provided 14 billion meals for children, or hired two million police officers. On top of which the Bank of England estimate it is costing us £800 million a week which if you multiply that by the 12 week extension till June 30th she is asking for, that works out at another  £96 Billion, as I said before that should come out of their wages, they might not be so keen to keep delaying Brexit then.

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 ...

While I agree to a certain extent on what the eco activists are trying to achieve by protesting, what I can't understand is why they feel they have to bring chaos to this country, I always thought that we are at the fore front when it comes to tackling climate change and pollution, so why do they not protest in the country's that are the worst polluters, surely this is where they need to try and bring about change, is it perhaps something to do with the fact that in some of these countries they face spending years in rat infested prisons or even being shot for voicing their opinions, yes we desperately need to do something to bring about change if we want to leave this planet to our grand children etc, but for goodness sake vent your feelings at the worst offenders, on another note how many of you protesters bother to pick up plastic etc from our beaches when you go to the seaside or how many of you will bother to clear away your take-a-way wrappers and plastic when you have fi...
