  • did I hear correctly?

    that there is a controversy regarding the long buried body of Richard 111 as to exactly where the body should rightly be interred, are the people involved with this farcical situation going round the bend,? who actually cares where these remains are, certainly not the members' of the general public I would guess. The majority of them have more very important issues on their minds such as survival in this financial climate we are constantly being told, which lead to another question who benefits from the idiotic scenario in finding out the correct place for this possible body of Richard 111,somewhere along the line it is money in the pocket for someone could it be persons with vested interests?

  • possible closure of ship yards?

    Understanding of this intention is very complex and very sad news to many workers in Scotland like others I have heard arguments from both sides but I have not heard any mention exactly where our future ships are to be built or, is it the intention to reduce our navy further as the army, and other of our forces. Folks the way things are shaping up as far as our defence capability is concerned things are not what they should be, from a lay persons point of view this intention is a step too far. possibly someone more in the loop than myself could explain the reasoning behind this?

  • the bad storm hitting the southern regions disruption of transport?

    the reports of the chaos advise that 200 hundred trees fell across railway lines causing major problems it beggars belief that trees had been allowed in such proximity to rail tracks to grow so big they fell over the tracks in stormy weather surely someone should have seen the possibility of this happening One finds it hard to accept the excuse this was a very violent storm and infrequent of this magnitude, prevention is better than cure, isolated trees to fall even that should not be able to happen but 200, the mind boggles

  • What do you think about or prime minister?

  • Who is as worried as I am?

    Our foreign secretary states that would be OK to enter conflict in Syria without UN Mandate have they forgotten what happened before when we did something similar and still bear the brunt by loss of lives to our troops, I wonder if he would have the same attitude if he was eligible to fight alongside our soldiers I hope MPs have more common sense than he appears to have, =KEEP US OUT= no more losses of our lads

  • can anyone explain please how sensible it is?

    to climb on mountains in this weather particularly with a youngster I note the RAF helicopter went to rescue it is beyond my understanding that this mother should have used very little common sense placing herself and child in grave peril my feeling is, she should be made to pay for the cost of rescue

  • please excuse this question if it has been raised before?

    Am I correct in my understanding that our government is considering arming the opposition forces in Syria ?if that is their intention that puzzles me our own forces many times have called for better arms for the fighting they are involved in if, we can arm these opposition people that must go down like a lead balloon to our soldiers I recall a shortage of combat body armour that led to a death in our forces, our leaders have certainly lost the plot if it goes ahead.

    very comprehensive and detailed,, like many thousands of us I was appalled at the findings outlined in his report,how on earth could these managers not have seen the blatant shortfalls in this trust hospital,following this Veryr damming evidence this cannot be swept underr the carpet as many other reports have been, individuals responsible must be brought to account,= in law and made to pay for their atrocious handling of people who are at their most vunerable as patients in Hospital.

    how will the suggested fast train benefit this country? the logic of this high cost endeavour baffles me why not upgrade the intended stations and link with existing tracks,this money is estimated at this stage enormous, and beyond credibility when that money could be used far better,how can the shortening of a journey be of such importance with such an abundance of electronic communication availablem I envisage a possible horrendous crash at the speed suggested,the speed alone is a none starter to anyone with any brain , what was the slogan put out bythe government? " Speed Kills" albeit that was for the road user but it applies here just the same

  • the speech by our PM?

    The long anticipated speech was quite revealing to my understanding,we are told that the eu is costing the british tax payers 50 million a day but Mr Cameron indicates that IF we chose to return the tories for a next parliament session we will be given a referendum to determine _IN/OUT and a date of 2017,that date alone is puzzling that assumes quite with a great deal of arrogance that the tories will be returned the cost to Britain will be astronomical the better deal should be done NOW it is obvious to many of us that we need to be inside the EU But on a fairer system than we have now why wait until 2017, 50 million aday would be better spent here than in Brussels, resolving the financial crisis which seems to have gone unnoticed by many in the government circles I listened to the emerging party leader UK IP also this morning it is also obvious that they are bringing concern to the government with their policies nothing he said could be discounted as it echoes the thoughts of the majority of citizens of this country,if their policies were wrong why then is so much time given to the leader of that party?, =they cannot be ignored anymore= a general election would in fact prove the point prior to the influx of other immigrants which are on the card= what was the number from Bulgaria/Roumania? we cannot afford to accommodate but that is just one policy that would be resolved if it is not done by this current government this country will be in much deeper financial;l
