First, lets establish the fact that these bullets are not illegal or prohibit. They are entirely legal and approved internationally for police use in confined spaces to prevent collateral damage or injury. They are prohibited from use on the battle field during warfare, but that isn't what we...

I accept that the best solution is to try and negate or remove the factors which motivate people into committing acts of terrorism in the first place. This isn't going to happen instantly, but that is no reason to delay trying. Meanwhile, people will turn to further acts of violence and try to...

I must be confusing it with that fish & chip shop on the moon. The one which is being run by Elvis Presley, not the one Buddy Holly owns on the other side of the crater. I'm sure that was The Star?

I don't know if these bullets have an explosive charge in them or whether they intentionally break up on impact. As you say, they have been banned in warfare for many years, but I'm not sure about civil defence / law enforcement agencies. I know the police use bullets which are designed to...

I am also told that if a patient is found by a police officer or fire fighter, they are then classed as being in the care of the emergency services. This counts as "response provided" as far as ambulance arrival targets are concerned. That patient then goes down the priority list. The air...

I have come to the conclusion that you are correct about 1& 2. I would add to (3) that they will blame and vilify the EU in order to deflect scrutiny of their own inadequacy.

Nicholas Parsons.

A valid question and one which I want to know the answer to. I am thinking that they have no plan, that they are incapable of forming a plan and if they had a plan, too disorganised to follow it.

Since the country inherited Theresa May as Prime Minister, she has made several statements regarding exactly what the UK / government want. 1) BREXIT means BREXIT. What else could it mean? What a riddiculous statement. 2) We want the best possible deal for the UK. Why would anyone negotiating...

Bugger.

There was an interesting article on radio four this morning about leadership and the catalogue of leadership errors that May has made. Her main failing seems to be surrounding herself with the clowns that advised her at the home office. This has caused her to become detached from reality and the...

Well I would say the score is currently 5-0 to the EU. Not a word has yet been spoken & not a single demand made around the negotiating table. Yet "only I can lead the BREXIT negotiations" has managed to make a complete fool of herself, self inflict wounds on her credibility and destroy any...

I must take issue with the following sentence in your message: "Any UK Brexit strategy is currently in tatters, Everyone in the world knows that, so it would be insane to proceed." I believe that there is and never was a BREXIT strategy, so it can't be in tatters. There is nothing to shred...

I think the Express has discovered a new level of stupidity. A level that I had previously thought impossible achieve.

I never thought Theresa May could provide so much entertainment. I was hoping that she was going to embarrass & humiliate herself in front of the nation, but she seems intend on doing it in front of the entire planet. It's marvellous.

Is that actually a head sticking out of Barwell's shirt, or is it a balloon with a face drawn on it?

I'm hearing that the DUP are set to demand a prominent role for Nigel Farage in the BREXIT negotiations, possibly Aaron Banks too. That's going to go down well :-)

So as we thought, "the only person capable of leading BREXIT negotiations" has severely weakened her own negotiating position with the DUP by going public on a deal before even engaging in any meaningful talks. Great. My favourite quote from the newspapers today is; "Things went badly wrong...

Auto complete on the iPhone. Corrected now Maybe my phone is telling us something.

My impression is that the Scottish Conservatives are more Liberal and less "traditional" than the English Conservatives. From what I'm hearing, the DUP seem to hold 1950s type Conservative values. How is May going to bring these two groups together? The Scottish Conservative MPs are significant...
