scott beeland Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 If british prisons weren't like hotels we wouldn't have half the problem we do. We should look to China/USA to remodel the custodial system here (bring back chain gangs/hard labour etc) Our system is far too weighted towards the politically correct/moral highground system of trying to give the poor loves new skills/ a home from home (tv's/dvd's/gym access/shopping trips/ christmas parties/ home visits/ opportunity to earn money by prison trade of manufactured goods ...I could go on) Prison should be a horrible/ scary place to go. No wonder so many people reoffend... BRING BACK THE BIRCH TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

steve_m Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Lets not slag off Mrs T again, if she didn't have more balls than Tony Bliar and John Prescott put together to do what had to be done at that time, we'd not have the good economy we've all enjoyed over the last 20 odd years. That is until Blair and his cronies got hold of it and started giving handouts to almost anybody who asked for it on the basis that they would "vote Tony" at the next election. Quote
Tubs Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Anyone who flunks school tests should be neutered. Cut off their goolies or whip out their ovaries. Any drug dealer shot. Any violent offenders put in prison and neutered. Long Live the Republic. Tubs. Quote

Try telling that to the Miners Quote
steve_m Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Try telling that to the Miners Arthur Skargill has a lot to answer for - it was people like him that made it necessary. We still have a few of them left today, anything for a fight with the management, any oportunity for a strike. British Industry wasn't perfect but that's no excuse for what the Unions were doing. I lived in Scotland at the time of the Miners strike, it was Yule and Dodds lorries that carried on moving the coal from the pits to the power stations and we lived about half a mile from one of their yards, which was under armed police guard for about 4 months. Some of the things that were happening were incredible. Glad it's all history and I know there were a lot of people who never worked again, I think that could have been handled better. I remember when they shut a couple of the ship yards in the North East and they offered the shipbuilders re-training to be call centre agents for BA Quote
Steven (WE51STE) Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Hi, You have Arthur Scargill to thank for Maggi getting re-elected. If Mr Scargill had called a vote of all the miners in the NUM would have come out on strike and I guess the outcome might have been different. As it was no official stike ballot - no official strike and the miners union split. Giving the upper hand to the government. So please lets not blame maggi It supprising how today the UK can turn as much Coal with only a dozen pits and a fraction of men there was 20 years ago. I guess they may have been a little overstaffed. Steve Quote
Tubs Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 And for those too young to remember, when Maggie was elected prime minister the UK had to borrow money from the IMF like some third world country 'cause it was broke. We'd just had the winter of discontent, where rubbish was uncollected for weeks on end and even the dead weren't being buried. Inflation was in the high teens and rising and British industry was dead, it just hadn't stopped twitching. Funny how after the evil conservatives were removed from power and we've had ten years of Blair there are more people in the UK in poverty than ever before and the highest tax burden since records began. Yeah, Maggie really was evil. And breathe ....................... Ahhh Tubs Quote
