I think that if by 65 years of age you have an unblemished record you should be deported from this increasing hell hole as a reward. At the moment it seems that landing on our shores is being used as a punishment for foreign criminals

Brixton: 22 officers injured and police cars smashed after street party




Don't worry the Mayor is on the case.


Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: "I'm in touch with the Met about the completely unacceptable events in Brixton overnight.

"Violence against the police will not be tolerated. Large gatherings during COVID-19 are deeply irresponsible and risk others' lives."


Nothing to see move along.

I see all the Councils are running out of money, they could do with a good culling, all i seem to get for my never ending rate rise is my bins emptied.

mm2 ps - other indoctrination systems are available!! lol

g2: On Punishment I agree we have become too lenient. We have all just gone through 3+ months of different varieties of "Solitary Confinement" without the predicted mass harm. IMV ALL prison sentences should be just that - might even bring the re-offending rate down.

I said nothing about religious observances.

As to transportation beyond the seas, there are an awful lot of countries far worse than Australia ever was!

Mike,

They aren't guessing though..
Antibody levels of Covid-19 patients decline quickly, small study shows..

Positive is it's a small study so might not be representative.

But there is some evidence.

g2 : So it's Hang 'n Flog 'n Praise the Lord? Where can we Transport for Life to these days?

[grahamite2] 25/6/2020 10:45

bbalanjones, it goes without saying that we should bring back hanging. It is grossly immoral that murderers are allowed to get away with it.

As to traditional policemen...just say that nobody with a sociology degree will be considered, that would be a good start.

5xy: Shout back at your mate John Redwood regarding local planning laws " WTF happened with "GRENFELL."

[mikemichael2] 25/6/2020 10:43

Geck, they just don't know yet, no point guessing.

[bbalanjones] 25/6/2020 10:38

mm2 Nobody knows that yet, either way, that is the trouble in developing an effective antibody test.

Planning a brighter future
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 25, 2020
Yesterday the Commons debated our planning system. At issue was the granting of permission to build new homes in Westferry, London, where they are much needed. Tower Hamlets Council failed to provide an answer on the planning application within the quite generous time limits laid down, so the decision fell to be made by the incoming new Secretary of State for the Environment. Opposition parties did not like the way he made it, and or did not like the decision.

Most people in the UK think there should be a planning system, but many disagree with whatever system is in place, particularly when it results in a decision they do not like. There are many people with land who would like to make a big profit by putting it forward for development, who find their land is not preferred. There are many others, often their neighbours, who think their local area has enough development and do not wish to see green fields built on or old buildings replaced by much larger developments . The tensions are understandable. The task for government trying to judge between the competing views is uncomfortable.

The aim of planning policy is to provide some intelligent framework for these decisions, setting out in advance through local plans where development is likely and where it is not. Years ago the system revolved around a fairly simply local map. The map would show through hatched markings which places were to be kept as green openspace and farmland, which remained as built up area and which parts could be used for new building. The built up areas could also gain special protections through area designation as a conservation area, or from individual building listings.

Over the years I have been watching planning it has got a lot more complicated, with local plans now going into huge detail and containing many subsidiary policies about permitted development. I am not sure this added complexity has produced better results or has been any better at allaying tensions over decisions. One of the worst features in my area has been from a landowner or developer gaming the system. They fail to build out the agreed permissions for new homes, whilst putting in for more permissions in close by locations,. It can be more profitable to trade planning permissions than to actually build and sell the homes. This undermines public confidence in the system. It can also lead to bad planning, with too many homes on floodplains or stretching local services too thinly.

Buywell, a proper doom and gloom merchant. There is NO evidence yet that you do not have immunity after having the virus. You are just 'twisting' jurnalistic hype.

[bbalanjones] 25/6/2020 10:26

g2: ha! 'Traditional' is a very broad term in the language of Law Enforcement! How about hanging? We have walked blindfolded into the ever polarised land of "Left and Right", such that neither seems to be spoken of except in varieties of hate speech - where is our "Old English" sense of moderation? (Sotto Voce - I blame Brexit! lol)

I see the council of Bournemouth complaining about people on the beach can't remember complaining about BLM protests on the streets.It seems we only want you here when we want your money on our terms.

Looks like the police forgot to bend their knees last night. They must have been impolite when asking the revellers to leave. Maybe they will have more luck when arresting some old guy in his local boozer from speaking to loudly or sitting with three of his mates instead of two. Maybe theresa may was right. Is there much point to an increasingly useless 'force'
