Shoot to kill is the only option if you are shooting at people. What do people think happens when a bullet hits at speed. Anything other than a kill is pure luck.
You have to ask them to stand still while you get steady and aim at their big toe, that just makes them limp ;)

Do you think the vicar's daughter, with her upbringing and beliefs, is truly comfortable with the decision. But she can't flinch, officially.

Corbyn takes 12 hours to make his mind up, flip flopping from his life long principles to what is needed as a leader of this country. Brexit negotiator, no. Security of the nation, no. I wouldn't trust him protecting kids at a school crossing.

This is what baffles me a bit about May. She seems to be chucking some of her most important values and beliefs out of the window to present the necessary line.

Wasn't there a discussion on one of the threads recently about Tim Farron and his beliefs (same sex marriage and abortion) and how it was unfair to press him on them because he'd put them to one side and they weren't influencing him politically. Surely if that's the case we have to apply the same rules to May.

There's a story on Facebook that May has been reported to the police for making a false statement about Abbott to do with the DNA database. Apparently this is a criminal matter and if proved she will lose her seat (assuming she wins it on Thursday) and could be banned from holding public office. Seems there's a precedent when a previous offender was banned for three years.

No idea if the story is true and can't post the link as I'm on my Kindle.

It might be a bit of an issue for the prosecution that DA did actually say that, altho apparently she has since changed her mind.

You mean that she's performed a u turn? Well I hope the usual suspects will be along shortly to criticise her in the same way they criticise May for her u turns. Although I won't be holding my breath.

We will not repeal or replace the Human Rights Act while the process of Brexit is underway but we will consider our Human Rights framework when the process of leaving the EU concludes

"And if human rights laws get in the way of doing these things, we will change those laws to make sure we can do them.
"If I am elected as Prime Minister on Thursday, I can tell you that this vital work begins on Friday." What she said.

Why pick on the words rather than the point being made?

Nice deflection, why hasn't she advocated this over the last 7 years?

Sorry to go off your discussion, but what I don't get is this using your assets to pay for your upkeep when you are older. This will only apply to those who actually have something, so those "hard working families". Those who have sponged off the state all their lives will get it all paid for. the seriously rich will pay for their care BECAUSE THEY CAN! The "hard working families" are the ones who will have to pay and lose out.
