. I'm a die-hard Black Adder hater, too, so her appearance in that doesn't sway me a bit.
oh my god! HERETIC! lol.. i loved blackadder and miranda as queenie was utterly brilliant!... i love p*** take ott characters like that (and the cast of 'the young ones' too), clownery, buffoonery.. blackadder was one of the best, most intelligently written and best acted comedies ever..

Only people who have actually committed a criminal offence should be put on a permanent DNA database. As for those who are suspected, then a court order should be sought to compel a person to give a DNA sample and only then can it be taken, and if a person is eliminated from the enquiry, then that sample should be destroyed, thus protecting the innocent person's rights....
thats all well and good, but when NEW criminals embark on a life of crime they will not be on the database until caught! if they were on from birth then theyd be caught a whole lot sooner!
the examples that panorama highlighted made this case perfectly. those people could have easily gone on to kill more and more...
if you are innocent then you have nowt to fear. sorry m8, but as i see it the positives far outweigh the negatives.
-
So, that means you think that these people were wrong to fight for these rights???? Are you nuts...???? :blink: :blink:
Just because a tiny minority of crims might be abusing those rights, that is absolutely no reason to curtail those rights for the vast majority of us who are law-abiding and responsible....
The majority should not have to suffer because of the actions of a minority... If you dont believe that, then you dont believe in freedom, liberty or democracy....
lol.. i did NOT say that you little minx :P
the truth is that freedom is being abused, you eith ignore it <_< or tackle it. its ok to ignore it if it doesnt directly affect you, but what about those who it does affect?
i guess its all down to what is the lesser evil, freedom for criminals to abuse the system or surveilance to counter it.

yep, very funny, and got jezza kyle dont to a tee!!! lol...
but
the best person there was
MIRANDA RICHARDSON! (often in blackadder and played 'queenie' in blackadder2) her portrayal as this producer woman was BRILLIANT, though id expect nothing less off her.
IMHO she is our best actress, forget wrinkly miren, or 'glamour' pusses like zeta jones :puke2: or kate bekinsale, miranda richardson has a well impressive portfolio of superb parts (often as a with, like in merlin, or sleepy hollow) but i like her best in comedy roles. :)
shes bloody good looking too for a woman nearing 50!

Yet it hasn't increased rape convictions......only proven sex occurred
not according to 'panorama'.
15% conviction rate without dna technology, 45% conviction rate with dna technology... sorry, either way thats a pretty impressive reason to use dna. crimes like burglary and child molestation, would be far easier to prove and therefore (as they are pre-meditated and not 'in the heat of the moment, like murder) must be a deterant to anyone contemplating it.
-
but WHY is it removing our freedom? so what if they have the ability to listen in on our phone calls? 99.9999% are utter bollox anyway! youll still make the call,..
as i see it the freedoms that our forfathers fought for are being abused by criminals and are making life pretty unpleasant.
no one wants a country where everything you do is being watched, but is there really any alternative in this world of free crime/terror?

If I was prime minister I would bring in legislation banning members of essential services (rail workers, transport/logistics workers, dustnmen, fuel depot workers, nuclear facilities workers, police, prison officers, postmen, airline staff, army, firemen, doctors, nurses etc etc) from striking, the smooth running of the economy and the infrastructure of this country is essential
I am sick of people working in areas that are essential for the smooth running of the economy thinking they have everyone over a barrel and therefore use the public as pawns in their little games (not all the industries listed above behave that way I am not singling them out just giving examples of people who should be banned from striking for the greater good of the smooth running of this country)
whilst i broadly agree with you on this craig, it would leave the workers open to exploitation, changes that are unfair could then be imposed on them.
eg... the employers could change their pension plan cutting what money they had been promised....
so whilst people in the public service, or in essential jobs as you discribe shouldnt be allowed to hold the country to ransom, the employers MUST be accountable and employ fairly.

unlike richie i always considered 1978 to be a seminal year where the new sounds from the previous year (punk and disco) became of age and spread out new sounds in many directions.
the variety of music and the quality makes '78 one of the best years for pop music.
3 of my very best favs were
kate bush................... wuthering heights
squeeze..................... take me im yours
p.i.l........................... public image
id also like to mention ian dury and the blockheads who probably peaked in this year. certainly 'rhythm stick' was a masterpiece of pop music.

The "Opposition" being TORIES mainly.... :lol: :lol:
The Lib Dems see the inherent dangers of these plans, especially ID cards, but of course, they're no real threat to the status quo cos no one votes for them....
but they WOULD do if they thought the lab/cons were gunning for a police state!.. :lol:

Let's look at two of the most serious crimes.
The clear-up rate for murder is high and has been for a very long time. So why do murders still happen when most murderers are convicted?
In the majority of rape cases the alleged victim makes an allegation against a named individual. It is accepted by both sides that they had sex. The only issue is whether the alleged victim consented. DNA cannot make any contribution to those cases.
im not so sure that the conviction rate for murders IS higher then it has been... theres loads of current killings (kids mainly in gang wars) that arnt being solved, plus the murder rate is higher then previous. the problem is with murder that its often a crime of passion, committed in the heat of the moment, so reason goes out of the window.
rape is one of the worst crimes and the conviction rate is painfully low. any tool that might increase the conviction rate must be a good thing. true... there will always be a grey area between consent or not, but its now an offence to have sex with someone who is too drunk/high to consent! plus thats only one area of 'rape crime', what about the other when the crimes committed in an obvious place where no consent would ever be given...like in an alley by a stranger? or by a stranger in someones house? wouldnt dna prove that person was there?..
of course there are nits to pick with this topic, you can go around in circles for ages nit picking minor details, but the facts are still there (which convinces me) that dna technology increases by threefold the number of convictions.... if anyone can prove to me that this is a BAD thing then ill listen! :lol:

Sack the lot of them I say and bring the army in to do the job. They'll be back to work like a shot. They make me sick. Want want want. Me Me Me. What about the public they're inconveniencing. Oh and I have worked as a postman in the 80's. Easy job, finish at 12.
*sits back to await scotts reply! lol *

Jeremy Kyle Show is utter garbage.
I find Jeremy to be one of the most knuckle clenching guys in the universe. Okay, some guest's can be a right pain in the arse, but the way he overreacts and hams it up, really makes me think he is no better then the others.
He sometimes belittles people, and if the guest is willing to change, then Jeremy should at least be understanding, or try to be. It's quite pathetic that the show is as popular as it is. Thier's being a chatshow host and theres being an overbearing idiot.
That said, It is great entertainment and a great hangover cure.
i think he is VERY understanding to people who are in need of it, but he doesnt suffer fools, liars, idiots or irresposable scum, lighty. why should he? he tells it like it is, to idiots who need it said.

Rob, there have been sorting machines, which sort mail according to postcodes, for bloody years now in sorting offices. If you'd actually worked for Royal Mail you'd know that... But even they cant get it right all the time and it will rely on manual sorting when it actually gets to the delivery office, especially when you take into account that not everyone uses a postcode or sometimes wrong or partial postcodes are on letters, a machine which does the sorting according to the postcode will not be able to sort that mail...
Why is it that all you people who've never even worked for the Royal Mail before and have no idea of the logistics involved in mail delivery seem to think you're experts....?
And you think you're gonna be able to find a machine to be able to actually deliver the mail...? Drive the vans..? Collect the Mail from the mailboxes and post offices...? Dont be silly....
of COURSE im fully aware that there have been 'sorting machines' for decades now, according to the news reports the royal mail want to bring in MORE machines for sorting, maybe they are better ones now, after all , time moves on.
i can only go off what the bbc report, and part of the problem is modernisation due to new machines.
as for delivering the mail.... dont be silly! no one has ever said that they are getting rid of all posties in favour of robots delivering the mail... god .. you dont half go ott sometimes!

You're missing the point, what's the purpose of voting in another lot of w/ankers when they're not that different from the w/ankers that are already there...? Most politicians dont serve the people, merely themselves.... I dont call that Democracy...
im not missing the point, i just dont accept it as a realistic point! i mean, if 1 lot were kicked out because of them becoming to dominant and wanting to introduce a 'police state' then surely to god the opposition would steer miles away from that policy!!!! :lol: besides, you forget that you can only push the british public so far.... poll tax riots anyone?

My dad is a postman and people really beed to take time to understand the reason for the strike instead of just shooting their mouths off. The changes that this Crozier guy (somebody who knows f**k all about royal mail) wants to bring in are ridiculous. My dad has been paying into his pension for 30 years & if they accept these changes, he'll get far less than he's put in. They also want workers to cover people's holiday leave unpaid. Thats two of a large number of ludicrous changes they want to enforce.
I'm totally in favour.
yeah but it aint all about that. i absolutely agree that they shouldnt have their pensions messed about with, after all, its their money and they deserve it. so on the pension thing im with them.
but
modernisation, getting machines in to do the sorting, is inevitable. the union are obviously against job cuts (as less members = less power), but you cant have a victorian mail service in the 21st centuary. changes in working practices are inevitable and it will cost jobs... that might not be very popular, but its gone on ever since the luddites smashed up them machines back in the 18th centuary!
its tough luck on some, but modernisation is a fact of life and we all must learn to adapt.

I think Jeremey Kyle talks sense sometimes and does genuinely want to help people. But I saw a bit of an episode last week where some woman was saying her boyfriend won’t let her sleep with her hands under the covers because he’s so paranoid and thinks she’s playing with herself! THIS is the kind of thing they show at breakfast time? ITV should be blamed.
lol... yep i saw that!... god the insecurities of some people, i hope the pillock now realises just how much of a complete pratt he is... cos the rest of the country do! :lol:
todays show was rather sad though.... that ex medical bloke from the army who couldnt deal with all the horrific sights he saw in kosovo, i really hoped he would pull through but he didnt, yet another casualty of that war :(
