It's a much more common situation than we might imagine. Don't delay time is against you in these cases. I know of two questionable outcomes in my family, going back years in one instance, that were never resolved. It appears that if you don't do something nobody else does.

The problem for Europe is much bigger and requires a consolidated approach. The real cause is world population growth and what does the world do with all these excess mouths to feed? Because they are not going to go away and they are not going to stop coming. An article I was reading some time back suggested that there may be as many as a hundred million disenfranchised young men in Africa alone. Disenfranchised in that context often means they are the second or third sons that didn't or won't inherit the family land or business so have to move elsewhere so seek a life for themselves.

If the French took them straight back, immediately with no question initially it would cause more difficulty in Calais. However, in the longer term, once the realisation that it was never going to work got through to them they would stop heading to Calais. Then the French problem would be solved as well. WIN - WIN

Neither, the demand for it is so low and the restrictions on importing, storing and shipping powder is so great that the importers don't think its worth the bother for what they make out of it. Also the RFDs are so strapped for cash that they can't afford to stock up when it does become available.

Actually we pay the French to patrol the beaches. We assumed (wrongly as it turned out) that while they were patrolling they would stop any migrants they saw getting into boats. The French saw it differently, to them the deal was just to patrol. Nothing in the agreement about stopping the boats or the migrants. There are numerous examples on video of the French police standing watching the migrants chamber aboard the dingies and more or less waving them off.

When I was working I did a lot of work for a couple who had a stonking big house in a private road. Very posh London suburb, he drove a Maserati. They were both dentists

You will often find that when you replace your tyres the garage will fit what they have on the shelf rather than say they haven't got exactly the same as the ones they are taking off. There is an element of "that's close enough" at some of these garages. The best way to check it is to put your car registration into the Blackcircles website and that will tell you what they should be

I have always supported the RNLI but just before Christmas they were selling Christmas Cards and calendars as usual in Cornwall and I told the man on the stall how unhappy I was about giving money to pay for rescuing migrants. He was only a volunteer giving his time so no point in bending his ear but we ought to give those running the organisation a talking to.

Actually they were chosen, I believe, to stand for election in North London constituencies with high Caribbean communities. Abbott in Hackney and Lammy in Tottenham. They were both shoe ins but it makes perfect sense from Labour's point of view. Similar tactics are used for constituencies dominated by other ethnic populations such as Hindu and Bangladeshi. It works very well for Labour and is heavily employed in Local Government as well.

Yes but not just any old million will do and Germany for one does not grant its migrant workers the right to stay indefinitely. They get a permit for five years and then they must go. They are not entitled to any benefits and accrue no pension rights A bit like a company employing temps. That could work here. Put them on a contract.

Absolutely right, there is no way they could not have known.

It's another serious loss. One closure after another, the gun trade is contracting.

They were all pretty dire back then.

Good, its payback time hopefully

Yes but he has pleaded poverty, stated that he struggles to pay his bills and it turned out he is worth millions. I think he is in it for the ego boost he gets from being in the limelight. A lot of these self appointed spokespersons are narcissistic

He doesn't even work as a doctor full time. He runs an investment company called Westholme Investments

"I don't recall" is like saying "no comment" it's an admission of guilt. I honestly hope there are a lot of people who aren't sleeping that well anymore.

The more that comes out the more I am convinced by the conspiracy theories that he was silenced. It was just too convenient

Look up on Google Gary Thomas Post Office VERY revealing. Paid a bonus for every postmaster he convicted and the evidence from his emails suggests he wasn't too fussy how he went about it. Also it now turns out the CPS did prosecute post masters during Starmer's time at its head. The plot gets deeper now

And mine, not my childhood but my 20s .I was surprised to find it only ran from 1975 to 1979.

They may never come out. Wasn't very likely that they have been sitting around in a draw all this time gathering dust. If we accept the conspiracy that epstein was murdered in prison to silence him. Who ever had the clout to do that wouldn't have left them lying around. Come to think about it, who would have had the clout to have him bumped off?

Apparently so

From the radio programme yesterday any company or individual can take out a private prosecution. It doesn't have to go through the police or the CPS. They have no monopoly With hindsight it would have been better if they had gone down the police/CPS route because the post office investigation team ( virtually all ex Met CID) behaved worse than the KGB.

It appears from what I heard on the radio that they didn't have special powers they just had a well established internal investigations operation that also handled prosecutions because that's the way they had always done it historically. I think very strongly that the internal investigation team is going to come out very very badly in any enquiry. Certainly they lied repeatedly in court and withheld evidence from the defence lawyers every time. They must have known, don't see how they can deny it.

There was a female junior doctor interviewed on the radio yesterday while I was driving back from Cornwall. God what an arrogant piece of work she was. To her it was clearly politically motivated. She didn't appear to care who died
