The Government are trying to help out first time buyers. Under government proposals, first time buyers get a house for half price if the pay for the removal and burial of the stiff in the living room.

I'm quite happy for them to strap explosives on their chest, just wish they would pick a big field with no one around to blow themselves up in.....

Maybe they could have it written on their forehead, "don't stand too close I may blow up.....and no it's not because I'm allergic to shellfish"...

I refer you to Godwin's law. And while we're there, I'm working on the wording for Franklin's corollary. Will submit when ready.

Yes -- it was in a thread started by you where you were discussing your predictions for how you believe the Democratic party can win the next elections.

Readers, I'm sure, will come to their own conclusions where the smoke started blowin'.

If you wish to carry on with the discussion, start a new thread or carry on with the old one if it hasn't been locked. Although the problem with your threads where you post is that they have a high chance of disappearing after you've been threatening all and sundry with lawsuits as is your particular want.

If the British government were carrying out Operation Deep Freeze, wherein they tried to turn a suspected terrorist into an ice cube using one helluva flash freezer, and instead of icing a terrorist they got a Chelsea Pensioner Popsicle, then indeed, they were responsible by *action rather than inaction* (commission vs omission) for that person's death.

I do agree that compensation should be paid to the family of Jean Charles de Menezes. He was mistakenly killed by the British police (or their functional equivalent), and to my mind that means there must be a fair settlement (albeit that the loving and much missed son can't at all be replaced with money). It was a tragic mistake as has been said, and repeated, by the Met Police. I rather compensation was paid regardless of the immigration status of Jean Charles de Menezes. There are no winners here, a life has been lost in tragic circumstances. The police action was both wrong and right, because it was not right right, compensation should be paid to the family.
