Illegally modified e- bikes driven illegally ( some by illegal migrants) and mainly involved in food deliveries are a dangerous menace in Britain today. The issue of national ID cards would once again prove pivotal in stopping such illegality and benefit the delivery food sector
perpetrators of this staggering affair must be singled out then arrested with a custodial sentence. I lost a military colleague in Afghanistan but since then often pondered- what the hell were we doing there? A disaster made even worse thousands Afghans were given domicile status
I’m truly delighted the two moronic animals that destroyed the Sycamore Gap tree has received custodial sentences. For me and my late wife the tree was very significant for us. As I proposed marriage 70 years ago under that tree to a most beautiful young lady who said - yes.
Travelling home by car I prepared to leave the main road turning into a left hand junction. Waiting for the junction to clear a small car overtook me offside at speed. The young woman driver I noted had iPhone to ear but kindly displaying a green New Driver “ P” sticker?
Gaza has been reduced by years of attrition to a resemblance of a cancerous growth. To restore Gaza to at least a habitable state would cost many £billions. The question remains should this edifice to death and misery be rebuilt or bulldozed to the ground and used for agriculture
Ukraine is bleeding to death and caused by relentless attacks of a dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine.This dictator who has the blood of thousands of innocents on his hands being as graphic proof of a person who has no shame. This man must be held accountable for his crimes
With particular reference to the burgeoning illegal usage of bladed weapons within UK society. Such criminality often exposes police officers to serious injury or even death. Is it now appropriate for duty police offices to be equipped with firearms?
Return hubs for migrants prime minister and within Europe is interesting. But a return hub in France would be a formidable achievement. Returning migrants from UK to France from whence they came. Awesome!
Sunday trading laws again has today hit the general public with its opening hours. York supermarket car parks are crowded with would be shoppers waiting to enter with their families to shop but without purchase at 09,00 am then shop with purchase at 10.00am. Time for change?
I deeply regret passing of an ex soldier who now represents a passing generation of heroes.They gave their all to protect freedom of the country they served with such distinction. Modern Britain perhaps could benefit in adopting the principles these heroes fought and died for.
At last a positive move by this government and France to meet head on the embarrassing challenges made against this kingdom by illegal migrants. Launching their boats towards benefit rich Britain 60 migrants were stopped mid channel and returned to France by the RN. Cheers!
Do not purchase products from the Chinese firm Maroxa. They sell goods on line but finding them of inferior quality the company will not offer a refund unless you pay £20 to £ 30 return costs per item. They will give a “ discount code of 50%” off another purchase and so on.
