like drugs ..thsi is only going to slowly get worse . brought up in east end as a kid we knew about gangs .knives , bicycle chains etc luckily out parents had very strong discipline and we knew not to get caught carrying anything that could hurt somebody else even though. at time fearful of own safety. society will continue to degrade over time with respect for each other and selfish attitudes coming to fore. Lack of care. respect are often cited but many underlying causes not tackled or not possible. eg over population. that fact alone is a major driving force where excess. people in too small an area causes friction. just one of many areas . other are religion .peer group pressure etc no easy answers .
all parties will offer goodies to get voted in. sadly we then fall into situation where those whom stand to gain most will vote for economic reasons and not what is good for all or country..hhmm bit like Brexit I guess.so nothing new then. the selfish always win.
not that easy to avoid jury service unless of Course you have a criminal record or are exempt.
luckily I managed to avoid old Bailey as they call extra jurors and I wasn’t needed. not bene asked back since :)
work doubt even with expenses I would have lost money as. no shift pay/overtime etc . have always thought citizens ought not to be penalised to do service for country.
ideally a simple average pay over last 6 mints. worked out. by your proof of income and divided into working days? then. give the amount to you each day you serve.thus same money being earned. no loss of income etc just loss of time.
hmm mixed attitudes it seems. there is a meter sonly chat room but its nearly always empty. plus without a moderator anybody cab actually join and still hurl abuse . ideally we need a moderator whom can ban at level of computer ID .so regardless of name changing etc they can no longer get access to site.
if we also throw in a members only board? maybe just maybe.. we can get a nice chat and message situation going.n there ARE a lot of decent people out there. we need them in here too.
still feel guilty having ours put down. vets advise as nothing to be done .cancer apparently. I stayed. for a while as she went under. vision still haunts me.
no need to worry . apparently leaving will be a paper exercise as EU laws WILL have to stay in place as well a human rights courts having precedence etc . we have to carry on paying in, accept free movement ( isn’t that exactly WHY we voted to leave in first place?) etc etc
so remainers can relax democracy is dead, and the small ‘majority’ that decided outcome of referendum ( its called majority rules=democracy) are to be ignored as the politicians and businesses etc. have won!
