  • cctv cameras UK is saturated with them do they work.?

    I personnally dislike the cameras as they do not prevent crime merely aid in the capture of criminals after the fact. Why not instead spending millions on watching innocent civilians on cctv in the name of security

    Have more police on the streets preventing crime.

    There is a lady who had acid thrown in her face and this is terrible but the camedra never prevented it but a police person could have.

    The argument if you have nothing to hide then why worry. NO its not innocent civilians have nothing to hide its what the hell are they doing with all this data and god forbib we ever had a dictator they would have the tools in place for tgotal control of the people. Body and Mind (they can never take the soul)

    I would love your opinion on cctv

    Do you think we need More CCTV or More Police?

  • Is The United Kingdom becoming a Totalitarian State or a natural progression?

    I personally have never broke the law and play by the rules, however I am getting sick of more and more cameras, forms to fill in, snooping councils, laws that appear to protect criminals more than victims.

    ID cards I dont want one don't force me to have one. Biometric data in passports. People say if you have nothing to hide then why worry?

    Well its the fact who has all this data might be corruptible and the government does not have the best Record at keeping our data safe.

    I am very interested if you feel that surrendering more and more power to the state is good for the country or that it might have some undesirable side effects.

    A Great man once said "If you surrender you freedom for security you have neither freedom nor security"

    Finally I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees and am very interested how much of your freedom you would be willing to sacrifice for security.

    b Welsh

    c Scottish

    Please tell me what on earth is happening and why are we not allowed to call ourselves English.

    I am proud of the UK and would normally tick british no problem but it was the fact everyone else had a choice what they wanted to be except the English.

  • Are UKIP the only party left that talk any Sense?

    I am not asking if they will win or there chances but they really seem to talk sense on issues of Personal responsibility I am bored with the government telling me whats good and bad for me not that i listen but surely as long as we have good hospital roads and policing (old school beat Constable) then its up to the individual to take responsibility for themselves surly forming a over reliance on state handouts cannot be good for a person as they never learn Personal responsibility.

    I also feel very sorry for the guys who have lost their jobs and only get offered a terrible benefit package surly the Minimum wage idea is a great one every gets what amount to the minimum wage when they fall on hard times for this they have to feed there kids, rent a house, pay for clothes, if the minimum wage is not enough to live on then how do so many hard working cleaners etc etc get by.

    I think for example I want to live in Mayfair London but cannot afford a place so i quit my job and go on benefits with my children I am then allocated a house in the area of my choice at extortionate rents thanks to the tax payer. If they said there is minimum wage for 37.5 hour week u find a house and put food on the table surly that would more encourage me to better myself.

    Love to know what you guys think??

  • Does Political Correctness (PC) improve freedom of speech?

    In our work place over the last 10 years the humor has almost gone as jokes about anything like race, sexuality, colour of hair, a persons weight have dissappeared now i am not asking for overt discrimination to be allowed and of course ones freedom of speech should not include demonising a person or indeed bullying however the light hearted banter used to improve productivity and community cohesion.

    Now if anyone feels slightly upset over anything they can sue and also severe sanctions can be taken towards anyone breeching politic correctness rules.

    Basically is this a good thing or a bad thing?? And does it enhance the work enviroment or make it one of Orwellin 1984??

    I am just waiting for the rule that you cannot think about anything that could offend other people.

    Please give reasons for and against political correctness.

  • Why do Human beings hurt each other?

    I am a honest hard working person who has dedicated my life to helping others and trying to better my self and help my community even at the detrement of my personnal time. I enjoy helping and caring for others. I am also highly quailified in the medical field so my volentary work is in demand.

    The other day I was driving along and genuinly didnt see the guy behind me when i applied my brakes to pull into a parking spot he proceeded to jump out of his van and charge towards the car shouting and obviously very angry i had dared to break to pull into a parking spot.

    Anyway i told him if he wishes to fight i wont resist as i have no interest in hurting him and am sorry for any touble i caused following a few more seconds of ranting he grumply went to his van and continued on his way.

    Why did he feel the need to react in such an unhelpful mannor that clearly caused him stress and obviously went away feeling bad i however just smiled i felt he must be stressed.

    But now i have some time to think why would he want to physically threaten me and what did he hope to achieve
