As a parent to a young child though, it's absolutely horrifying. I cannot begin to imagine the pain. In the same boat. Had a career that I thought had numbed me to most of the evil shit that goes on in the world, but stuff like this hits differently now I'm a dad. Southport's such a lovely place for children too. We're hoping to take our daughter for her first day at the beach there soon. Grim beyond words. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FoxesDeb Posted 29 July Popular Post Share Posted 29 July Like many parents I expect, I'm thinking of the days my children used to go to child care in the summer holidays and our biggest worry was if they remember to put suncream on them. The poor parents must be bereft, it's just beyond heartbreaking. Sadly I'm learning that you don't ever get over the loss of a child, and I don't think there's a way to stop this kind of thing happening again, either. For all our modern advances elsewhere, we sure have left some good parts of society behind. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yanks will ensure that doesn’t happen, even if Israel’s very existence was really threatened. A country surrounded by neighbours who really don’t want it there - I guess their nuclear capability is the ultimate deterrent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 29 July Share Posted 29 July There’s the allegation online that the police are covering up who did it by saying he was originally from Cardiff, when the reality is that was where he was ‘settled’ a year ago. Not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it won't stop there as other Trade Unions will be lining up to. You just wait for the RMT to get going for one. So you also must think that pensioners who are no longer contributing to the health & wealth of the country should also not have been getting a 22% increase over 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of many reasons the country is broken. It would be completely unfair to blame the state of this country on asylum, as whilst many bring absolutely nothing but debt to this country, there are many that contribute hugely to the country. The country is just broken in so many ways. How many white British people claim benefits & disability because they can't be bothered to go to work? It's not a race thing.

Livid Posted 29 July Share Posted 29 July 2 hours ago, DJ Barry Hammond said: Clearly it’s a bloody difficult balancing act. I believe Junior Doctors are paid anywhere between £30,000 to £60,000 - around the level of train drivers (with some drivers on more). The award is also based across 3 pay periods (think it’s something like 4%, 8% and 9%) and aim’s to rectify not only the higher inflation years but the public sector pay freeze years ago too - so the headline figure makes it look a lot different than it actually is. That said - people (generally) don’t do detail so it is a deal that is likely to cause Labour some headaches, especially as it moves along to different public sectors pay deals (good luck with getting the teachers to agree to 5% now!). But coming back to this pay dispute - if you don’t have enough (Junior) Doctors which cross section of the public is going to lose out most… probably pensioners. Now let’s consider, out of public expenditure, which cross section of the public has the biggest public expenditure demands… that’s likely to be pensioners again (£138 billion is earmarked for the state pension alone in 2024/25). So is this a fair trade off? Naturally every individual can make there own minds up based on lived experience over the coming years - but Labour’s basic assumptions must be that it will be deemed fair enough by enough people in 5 years time. No issue with Junior Doctors it’s just not a good look. I’ve never forgiven Gordon Brown for abolishing the 10% income tax rate in 2007 and adamantly stating that no one would be worse off, when everyone could work out the lowest paid would take the biggest hit. I turned my back on the Labour Party for over a decade after that. When it comes to the Labour Party punching down on the poorest in society I can easily turn my back on them again.

bovril Posted 29 July Share Posted 29 July Just now, Spiritwalker said: Tragic crazy shit like this can happen in any country. It happens more in some countries than others though. There must be reasons why that is, societal and political differences in countries with higher and lower rates of violent crime and murder. Difficult to say now obviously because we don't have a lot of details. But I hope when the facts are known we can have an honest discussion about why as a society we seem to be experiencing more incidents like this beyond simply 'mental health'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t matter the identity of who did this heinous thing today - people will draw their own conclusions. Smashing the gangs is just not the answer and weak, the government needs to be stronger than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddadamadda Posted 29 July Share Posted 29 July The loss of a child is a pain that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. It’s such a numbing, empty feeling that is like no other pain I have ever known. To have lost a child in such a horrific way is incomprehensible and I don’t know how these poor parents will carry on. We send our children to these holiday clubs hoping they’ll have the best time and come home talking absolute nonsense about their day. Instead these poor children and parents have had their lives changed forever in the blink of an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
