Maybe the children are in danger from their parents. What kind of parent would place their children at the very heart of such an illegal enterprise and one carrying very high risks too? A totally reckless uncaring parent, set on a mission of personal gain? The plan came unstuck- boohoo.

About the same level of justification that exists for entering a country illegally and gambling your children in the process.

If it’s true. We’re the migrants forcibly loaded into trucks and made to go to the USA or did they choose to gamble their family of their own free will?

Will there be a candlelit vigil?

I didn’t realise just how lethal these Lithium batteries were until “the blast” from a cordless drill battery (typically 36Wh) closed a London tube station and injured a few passers by. Imagine the carnage and devastation an ebike battery could cause. A simple ebike battery could necessitate the...

You’ve said this before, soon after the referendum and at that time I didn’t think it would happen. Now I think you are correct. I sense that people aren’t as emotional about leaving or remaining and if nothing else, the leaving process is exposing just how useless and weak the government is. I...

I think all the uniform business stems from management trying to confuse & deceive the public into thinking that a greater number of nurses and medical staff exist. It’s a similar ploy to the police, PCSOs, Special Constables and Street Wardens. All deliberately dressed in similar costumes in...

Can’t argue with much of the above, but something has to change within the NHS. Like most public owned sectors, it is a criminally inefficient organisation which hoovers up as much public money as an be thrown at it without returning any improvement. Every time I have any sort of contact with...

The rich pay people to devise schemes which allow them to pay less tax than they should. The career dole-rats don’t pay anything, they just use and take. Looks like the mugs on PAYE will be supplying the fruit for the money tree.

It’s a science known as Customer Apathy Inertia. It means most customers will just renew because they can’t be bothered to shop around or challenge the price. If you phone them up and say their service is great, and you really like the AA, but it’s too expensive, they will drop the price. Get a...

Theresa May is one of those women who sets aside one of her spare bedrooms and fills it full of dolls and teddybears, each dressed in a carefully selected and individual costume. She goes to the spare room every evening to sit amongst her dolls and teddies to eat chocolate and cry. Gradually...

In a post earlier today, I said the word “suckers” springs to mind.

Remain supporting MPs say that that Theresa May has given them assurances that parliament will have greater influence over the final Brexit deal. Meanwhile, others in government and in charge of Brexit say no such “deal” exists. What’s going on? Would you trust Theresa May? The word suckers...

The situation regarding international relationships with North Korea looks better today than it did 12 months ago. Donald Trump can take a lot of credit for that. The the limp wristed, left-leaning liberals can’t accept that Trump was correct and that his style of diplomacy works, even when it...

Sorry to disappoint you, but FA to do with Brexit I’m afraid. Freeing up capacity for new models and variants of existing ones to be built in the U.K. I know it’s disappointing for you not to be able to pin this one in Brexit, but there will be a Social Inclusion Unit closing somewhere, you can...

I don’t think just “giving” them jobs would work. If they studied for something useful in the fields of science, engineering, languages, vocational skills etc, it would be appropriate to reward them with a decent wage and career prospects. Degrees in pop music, film, playing games and other...

An even better plan would be to jail the perpetrators for decades, say 60 years, no parole, no visiting rights. It needn’t be expensive to keep them in prison either, there are ways of doing that cheaply. It’s not very nice for the inmates, but pleasant for the tax payer. I think that would...

Corruption is another name for human being. Human beings are generally a corrupt species who find the temptation of a dodgy deal irresistible. The urge to prosper due to the result of an underhand transaction is overwhelming for many. In your account above, you and the ticket collector are the...

It doesn’t stop at drugs, services and medical professional’s time being wasted. A building services engineer that I know showed me a bill for £348 charged to the NHS for the supply of a thermostatic radiator valve. It was nothing special just a standard plastic topped valve. These are just...

Slightly off topic, but not entirely. NHS funding will ultimately be impacted upon by Brexit. I have detected evidence that the NHS is over funded to the extent that they have to dispose of money because they have too much to store. Thankfully nothing serious, but my wife has had contact with...
