It has happened already. Thousands were euthanized using the Liverpool Pathway. Many, I believe, without proper consultation. It still happens today, its a very thin line between compassionate palliative care and assisted dying The drugs they have to give you to relieve the pain would be illegal under any other circumstances and everyone understands this.

That's what happens and it appears to be their official policy. The migrants cannot be returned to the safe country from which they came. Anyway, whatever the arguments, France won't let us return them

Oh yes they could, it would be a violation of international law and they would not hesitate to protest to United Nations etc. Just because they are like that. the French are clever enough not to document the migrants in any way so there is no way we can demonstrate they came from France That's why we need Rwanda

Yes it turned out to be an accidental overdose after he was supposed to have been clean. Everyone should read his book. It's a sad insight into the true reality of addiction and how it controls every aspect of your life

If the EU was dealing with the problems at the point of entry, every point of entry, in a unified manner. We and the rest of Europe wouldn't have the situation we all collectively find ourselves in. But instead we have silence, deafening silence

Other countries are doing similar things. Its not just UK. The problem is there is no unified strategy which is absolutely typical of the EU. It's a text book example of everything that's wrong with the EU. No mechanism for decision making

Why not just send them to Rwanda and they can have their application processed legally and properly there ? Other countries do it

Because the French absolutely and categorically refuse to take them back. It's been suggested many times, it's the obvious answer but France won't allow it. There is little doubt it would work and in a very short time the migrants would stop travelling to Calais and living in the camps while trying to cross. Once the word got out. Instead France won't cooperate

The population of Africa is about 1.6 Billion. Because of rapid population growth there are more people than the land / local economy can support in many places. This causes many young men to be disenfranchised. ie they don't have or don't inherit land so have no way of getting on with their lives. The only way they have to get out of this predicament is to migrate to somewhere where they believe they have a future. Political policies and other barriers are not going to dissuade them from coming. They believe "the streets are paved with gold" in Europe. Compared to where they have come from it probably is. Much the same story in many parts of the middle East, Asia and South America. Its a global problem. Then there is all the stuff about climate change, rising sea levels etc What is terrifying is the scale of the problem

20% of the population of Ireland were not born in Ireland. What they don't say is how many of the remaining 80% are the children of that 20%? Born in Ireland but not ethnically or culturally Irish. Which means that with an aging Irish population added into the equation the time is rapidly approaching when the Irish could find themselves in the minority.

You clearly don't spend much time driving in the dark in Cornwall. We get deer on the road at night this time of year. Plus the pot holes. The road surfaces are appalling. Plus the local inbred community drive down the middle of the lanes irrespective of how wide the lanes are and the fact that you coming the other way.

She is totally unaware that it is a problem. Like a lot of other drivers I would imagine. Everything is automatic, the lights come on automatically when it gets dark. The wipers come on automatically when it rains etc

Cars with automatic dipping headlights do that. My stepdaughter has a car thats terrible in that respect. They don't dip till the last minute. She was told to drive on full beam and let the car do the rest. I wince when you see the oncoming cars getting the full blast and they are powerful lights too

It's about two things First how much would the landlord make if he sold the property and invested the money in something else? That's return on investment (ROI) as a guideline Coventry Building Society is offering 5.2% at the moment. Thousands of landlords are just selling up and getting out of the rental business because the grass is greener elsewhere. Secondly, if the landlord has himself got a mortgage he is paying on the property how much has that gone up ?

Yes but in London they are the favourite mode of transport for many miscreants Bag snatchers, phone snatchers etc In South London they weave in and out of the cars stuck in heavy traffic and pop open the boots to grab what ever they can. The scooters are fast too, souped up they will do 40mph and can accelerate like a rocket. Nobody is ever going to catch them

Drug dealing is tolerated because if we legalised drugs it would deprive a lot of antisocial scumbags of a very good living. Which would mean (being scumbags) they would look for other ways of getting their hands on easy money. Those 'other ways' would be more visible to the general public and would look like a massive and uncontrollable crime wave. With all the implications for the police and politicians. So they look the other way W

In general terms it would not be possible. The battery in an electric car is effectively the floor pan. Difficult to find someway of concealing the battery Also, most classic cars are not actually worth that much and most are declining in value. Generally speaking, most classic cars appeal to a certain generation and the evidence is that generation (mine effectively) is getting older, less able to do the work on them.

It's very hard for any individual to stand up to an FEO and some FEOs are definitely making it up as they go along.

This appears to have been an aspect of policy from the Met for some time. I have heard similar things several times before. Also RFDs being continually bombarded with more demands for "security' which appears to be a subtle attempt to wear them down.

That will work, the only trouble is if they go anywhere near where the waves are breaking they won't be there when you come back. So off a harbour wall is probably a better starting point and learn as you go from there. Incidentally it's called skiving down here . Crabbing from the shore. Personally I would rather spin for mackerel No pot is too rough not to work. They don't have to be posh to be good

It's a much more complicated subject than the narrative would have us believe. Not all the slave owners were white (or men)

Yes Bunce Island was one such place. The origin of the word Bunce meaning profit. It must be remembered that the British Slavers were only in the Business of transporting the slaves. They didn't capture them. They bought them at bunce Island on the quayside. Sailed them across the Atlantic and sold them on the quayside again in places like South Carolina, Barbados, Jamaica. All done as quickly as possible. Then they loaded up with sugar, spices, rum etc Sometimes hard woods to make the journey back to Britain

I've been to Bunce Island in the mouth of the Sierra Leone River. Its the place where the slaves were shipped out A lot of slaves were brought in to be sold by their own extended family. Clearing out the surplus kids
