Let Politics Talk

Well with risk it's not normally a criminal wrong. It's usually a civil case and cases belong in the civil courts with the person suing for damages. There is no such thing as guilty and no one is punished in a civil court. It is about making up a loss. To make an example up for a risk let's say: A o...

I just don't like prison. It just seems barbaric locking someone up numb for decades. If people can't control themselves maybe they need a hand. What would you prefer? Loose total liberty for 35 years or your assets? I know which I'd choose given the option in court. Maybe that should be done then. ...

Just to fund government middle east expenditions, whacky government ideas like ID cards, MP expenses, red tape and other beaurocratic nonsense and so forth. The roads remain congested, the public s...
