I agree that govt tv advertising can be very effective, for...

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?

My point being that these girls lives are so bereft of love and compassion in all other area's they can't see beyond having a baby. Personally I think that teenagers should be given the chance to...

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?

Repeat offending due to lack of punishment must be so depressing and frustrating for you. I couldn't do your job either - you have my respect.

I do think that it all boils down to education or...

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?

A full-time job shouldn't excuse you from complaining to your local council/mp/pressure group/police if you feel that an injustice has been done. Whilst you have been posting on Expats you could have...

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?

Sorry for late answer, I do agree that the taking over of an area by a certain group of people is not a bad thing, and can be wonderful and a great thing. I think that the worry with the mosque is...

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?

There are plans for an enormous mosque (room for up to 70,000 worshippers) to be built next door to the Olympic stadium in London. The fear is that a muslim enclave will very rapidly establish itself...

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?

Re: Good Laws or Bad ?
