We're about to disagree on a whole host of levels here Hobo. Suspicion of anything is not enough to prove anything, and indeed act. And, god forbid, you're putting the walking smile Ms Booth on my side, then I s'pose my enemies enemy is my friend. Your Lordship when the security and well being of t...

Yes it is a stressfull spur of the min action, but chuffin hell you cannot bring folk back and just say "oh sorry we made a mistake" Anyone who calls for ALL our p...

Hey, Pruey, i'm close to giving up... If all that matters is what police 'believe' there's no space for law or judgement whatsoever... i believed the earth was flat, m'lud... i believed it would send me to heaven, m'lud... law is based on evidence... the evidence of somebody waving a shotgun is per...

The coroner said himself that there was a cock up. It's not a black and white thing though - does an individual have to be found guilty of homicide for the cock up to be recognised properly? Not being an expert, surely in legal ways a cock up means someone is more anserable for than an accident?, b...

I understand your point entirely, though I don't agree with it. Could i ask you - and I do this with no polemical intention whatsoever, i have never studied law, and i know you do - why you think it 'absolutely right' for the coroner to forbid the jury from coming to the 'unlawful killing' verdict?...

Actually what puzzles me is;

If the Police suspected him of carrying a bomb, given they had him under surveilance , Why the hell did they not stop or take him out when he left the flat instead of putting Joe public in danger? This for me is what stinks!
Or are our coppers totally stupid?

Drivers are overwhelmingly likely to say no, and the last thing people who already use public transport want is more people crowding those services.

It was a very 'institutional' failure, that came about in the most extenuating circumstances possible. I think the coroner was absolutely right to judge that individual criminal liability would be inappropriate. This wasn't incompetence marked by a reckless or wilful disregard for human life on the...

I wonder how much the voting campaign and its admin actually did cost? You can look at about £1 each for the forms printing, post and return post and then there's the admin costs for the processing. Add in the initial designing and all the relevant meeting involved and it gets quite serious. Somebo...

Car drivers - We'll get you back for turning down the congestion charge. £350 A Year - To Park At Work! The charge would be levied by councils under powers already granted by the 2000 Transport Act. The move - already condemned by some businesses and motoring groups - will be put out to a 12-week c...

Heres an interesting thought, why don't they ask people how often and when they'd like the public transport to run, improve it over the course of a few years to the point where its a fantastic alternative to using your car advertise it as such (like they've advertised this), and then try again. I k...

Not sure he had much choice really - media already had him linked to the job (as did half the population of the Mackem's Forums) before Kean's arse had hit the out door.
