It doesn't matter, although trading standards are based locally, they can and do sometimes act on national issues, since their effect is also local. For example they were the first to act on the issue of dangerous toys coming in from China, prompting government action. .

I think the ASA is more concerned with advertising and may not view a company website as that. An added factor is that is isn't in any way illegal to sell non compliant vehicles, only the usage is illegal. You might have had a better result with your trading standards department since this is...

OK then, drugs. Clamping down hard in London has driven the large dealers to send youngsters out to provincial centres to drug run. Staying only a very short time in each place, it doesn't give the police time to identify them. Again spreading crime, no solution. I don't know why you are...

So it didn't work, it just moved the crime. Not much point. As I've often posted, the Americans have the answer to everything but the solution to nothing in their widely failed society We did the same with paedophilia, savage sentencing and prison conditions drove the offenders to Thailand...

The USA has done this, doesn't work as their record shows. We even tried the short sharp shock long ago under William Whitelaw, but that only increased crime, and it's been increasing ever since. When will the British public ever learn to look at the proven facts instead of relying on failed...

I have done. They total much less than the grouping I mentioned. .

But as the record shows and I've already posted, that doesn't reduce crime, but does greatly increase the very costly prison population. Punishing the rest of us with that cost. The USA showed this flaw long ago, the longer the sentences they passed, the more crime increased and the greater...

They certainly are. We could even see a LibDem-Green-ChUK coalition as a next government. That would bring us proportional representation and even bigger future change. Boris is winning the Tories over, but if the above translates into a GE, he might become a very unimportant figure in...

With today's popular definition, we all are. .

So it's life sentence for everything? If not, what you've said is meaningless. Michael Howard said what you've said when he was Home Secretary instigating long sentences. And crime rose and carried on rising. .

You mentioned Jew and Nazi. Look what happened to Ken Livingstone when he did that. He was buried with accusations of being racist. .

That would be our benefits money being returned. ;) .

Far better than i.c engines for low end torque, but the corresponding high consumption could be a problem for day long work at peak times of 12 or more hours working. Large battery hybrid would be a solution, most work done on electric, but that would greatly increase tractor prices. .

It would certainly help, but not completely solve the problem, since marine diesel for commercial use also has reduced duty rates and is dyed. .

That's very old fashioned thinking, proven to not only fail but achieve the opposite. It's what lead to our prison population multiplying eight times from a relatively stable 11,000 to peak at 88,000, coupled with a very large increase in crimes. That happened in less than half of my lifetime...

But the Swiss Germanic civil behaviour isn't present, the point made by Danidl in respect of the washed diesel oil. Aided by the little people, those rascally Irishmen would run rings round any technology. .
