Couldn't agree more. That or make prisoners come out on day work gangs, cleaning graffiti, litter, community work - or just hard labour...who is that Amercian prison govenor who makes the inmates wear pink underwear ( I kid you not) and sleep in tents in the hot summer months? I like him...

Great , good curry is a must.

My mum and dad have emigrated and never want to come back. I think I would have also if it wasn't for the kids.

Thank God some justice was dished out yesterday. I somehow doubt it was enough but what that lady said really tugged on the heart strings.

Dooglaman, It's time to sell up completely and just sod off. Reading all these posts has made me think. Where once we were a proud nation, now we all just plod along just like the film 1980!! We also have friends who have bought a place in France. They do not want to come back. All this saddens me too and that poor lady's family approaching Christmas. It's bad enough when you lose someone close naturally let alone a life taken without reason!! This is all a sobering thought. I hate this society.

I saw some figures recently that showed around 400,000 people emigrating from the UK last year. Many are retirees going to the sun but around 200,000 are educated at least to degree level, and experienced. Most are from science and engineering disciplines. So the numbers may be in balance but I bet its not when you consider education and experience.

Almost all of the people I went to university with now work abroad. Despite offers of work in Canada and Australia I am still here, mostly because of my wifes elderly mother. When she goes, so do we.

Soilant Green was a film with Edward G Robinson and Charlton Heston where humans were reprocessed for food! It took place in the future and it seemed a good solution to several problems at the present!
