It occurred to me while listening to this that had a company taken or not taken decisions that resulted in so many unnecessary deaths, they would be charged to corporate manslaughter.
Why then, if a govt's actions contributed to these deaths, is the only sanction to vote them out of office?

Rarely travel by train myself so this won't affect me personally but It'll be of huge benefit to tens of thousands that do.
Thank you Labour!
For the first time in 30 years, rail fares are to be frozen and will NOT be increased in January.
It will save some people hundreds of pounds a year compared to if prices had risen as usual.
I know some people want fares to go down, but Ice said before having them...

A former acquaintance of mine - also an Old Etonian - who had never expressed a political sentiment in the ten years I'd known him said much those same words to me ca 2001.
He viewed it as "something to do" because he didn't really have to work like the rest of us.

Ah yes, this is where the UK government was found to have failed in adequately investigating evidence of successful Russian interference in democratic processes. The report criticizes the lack of a thorough inquiry into these activities.
Basically, they found nothing because they didn't look.

Dale is right of course however, I fear the likes of Farage, Tice etc have made the subject of immigration so toxic that a sensible, reasoned debate is out of the question.
Fact is we need some balance in the ‘debate’ on immigration - studies show that people coming here are more likely to work and pay tax than the gen pop - and they make a net economic contribution.
