OK Here's a question; wouldn't we have a first class FREE health service if the LABOUR Gov't hadn't fought an ILLEGAL war killing over 1 million innocent people and wasting billions of pounds on it?

This country is going downhill...is it no wonder im depressed and I always thought it was the bad public services and gloomy weather. Hell my Mother is a teacher and she couldn't even afford a present or card this year!

A wide-eyed wide-boy.

I hope he gets to be leader, just like Kinnock did.

Remember Kinnock?

"more teachers with masters degrees"? We don't have enough as it is! Now is not a time to be picky.

Isn't it time that education in this country is dramatically altered?

cooking for a party/on a budget,decorating a house,budgeting for a family,social relationships,local and family history,politics,planning a wedding,housemaintance,self defence/fitness

Children could gain SKILLS instead of just infomation to pass an exam

I have a good job and have had to takle ALL the above but I have hardly needed any of the information I gathered and school or higher education.

The secret family courts are a disgrace to democracy.

Secret imprisonments shame this country.

You will certainly lose the next election if you don't do something about this.

Safety on the internet? I trust that means bringing in measures similar to those making us safe in the street?

CCTV everywhere and the instigation of a police state in a tangible way. Thansk you mke me feel so much safer. I'm always much more afraid of my own government than any criminal element.

Question about co2 emissions.You tell us that were destroying earth by using our cars too often and not recycling enough, yet i have seen studies from scientists and they stated that the planet is old and at a dieing age anyway. not to mention that one volcano erupting leaks out more emissions in one day that we can do in a few year and volcano's erupt all the time and have been for millions of year. so whats going on there then? The way i see it is that it is an other excuse to tax us....

That is called censorship and while i can understand that you dont want children watching porn, most schools take internet censorship to obscene hights.

I believe that everyone age 14+ should be able to have full access to the internet, lets not forget that it will be legal for these kids to get married and faunicate in 2 years time.

Most kids are not as imature as you make out.

[happyfred3]

Not to mention that new schools are being built were there is no need for them. And reasonably new schools are being rebuilt for no reason.

WHY?
