Which provides absolutely no answers, and that the problem, what is the answer, even some ideas?

You all have complaints, none of you have suggestions though, neither do the 108. How's about working out how to deal with the exponential growth of the welfare system instead of just attacking the people attempting to get control of it.

Come on, how do we tackle it geniuses?

Nigel Farage has repeatedly flown to the US to
campaign with Trump (@ Instagram/Nigel_Farage)

EXCLUSIVE: Nigel Farage used £33,000 of UK donor cash to support Donald Trump in the US election

Under US law, the travel expenses of a volunteer are
considered a donation to the party they work for if they exceed $1,000 (£770) in one election

Farage and Tate: a similar phenomenon? Should Nigel Farage face questions in parliament over his relationship with Andrew Tate?

Today proscetors have confrimed 21 charges against 'Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.'

'Is it time for parliament to question Nigel Farage over his relationship with Tate?'

Following his holiday in France while Parliament was sitting, Nigel Farage is now back and hard at work again, speaking at a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas.

Primary objective is money its nothing to do with immigration, that's just the tool to stoke the fire of discontent for the sole purpose of picking up 'members'

instead of bullcrap policies that wont offer advantage. If you work and pay for child care, another child for another £20. week isn't going to cut it when people are staying at home because its cheaper than work and child care credits?

He also mentioned the marriage tax allowance? In a country where you simply can't raise kids unless both parents are working, where's the advantage? To millionaires wives and husbands that's where, no advantage for regular Joe.

And the two child cap? How about we directly approach relative poverty

presented as are the lib dems and so on by comparison.

Justifying their attention is to deliberately deny democracy because the elected representatives provide the count, nor the intent of the press.

The fact you are trying to condone it is remarkable.

No because they are a bunch of fascists, brainwashing the public into believing that a 'company' that refuses constantly to properly vet the people they are putting into place like councillor positions have any credibility.

They have only 5 mps, polls don't mean shit and the Greens are under

Liverpool - The driver of the car that rammed into crowds, has been arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs.

Unfortunately we won’t have to wait long until Rectum UK’s supporters start spreading their online dis-information…..

needs to be considered, stop cars, but what then stops a motor bike with blades? (crap example, but an example).

Certainly the approach needs to be national, put in place in tandem and government funded.

Yeah I get what you are saying and we have always blocked off roads etc for parades, but access is generally the problem, there is legal ramification of stopping people accessing their properties and businesses so those need to be dealt with too, but like I say, it's the what comes after that also

Potentially people thinking they have voted for sensible people and got lunacy, so maybe voting for lunacy might get them sensible?

Enshrine Nolan Principles as a legal code of conduct for politicians to follow so the police can hold them accountable for their actions and give us PR (STV) already!

recognition more openly and a big brother state, which in turn will likely increase the attempts, increase hatred of the police and cause screams of liberty and freedom etc, etc.

It's a balance, one no country has found as of yet.

Bare in mind it will also lead to other forms of attack too, so the measures used to prevent this have to encompass how it might cause other forms of attack so they can be looked at and safeguarded against also, but we are never going to stop it completely, not unless people accept facial

of no access on the day and those bollards remain up for the duration.

But yeah for them to be saying right now, this is how we deal with it would be disrespectful and tactless imho.

To chuck out a 'this is how we deal with this' within hours of this happening when the focus should rightly be on the victims is just wrong.

I believe you are right, as its generally specific areas that are used for parades and the like in city centres, they should be bollarded, businesses warned
