Re: Would you shop your kids
You stated.
"I'd Suggest your child's future looks a bit messy anyway".
I see this comment as a personal attack not a "reasoned discussion".

He probably came to that conclusion after reading some of the drivel you post on here.

You earlier said, and I quote...
'Wouldnt want to mess any future chances for my child by them possibly having a criminal conviction.'
You answered a theoretical question. Since you're not presumably the parent of one of the recent rioters.
I replied, again theoretically, because you haven't actually protected your offspring from the laws of justice.
I do think sheilding children, from the reality that when we do something wrong it's likely we'll face punishment, is a very bad lesson for a parent to teach a child.
In my opinion it will lead to their lives, and morals, being a mess.
By the way, the theoretical child you raised would be a criminal, if they'd been rioting, and looting.
Regardless as to whether you helped them evade the justice of the land.

That's more likely due to lack of knowledge, and understanding of what's actually been written.

I think it's called face-saving.
If not backtracking.
So as to avoid the wrath of the majority of decent people in society.
Some of whom might even label such people as scum, if they protect those who cause fear and terror as they riot and loot.

I guess it's lucky you didn't work in the prosphetics department.
You wouldn't have had a leg to stand on, besides the false one, if you said it just slipped your mind that you'd taken away hospital property from the premises.

Jen an eviction notice has been served, but it will be up to the county court to decide whether the eviction will go ahead.
I think this action sends out a very strong message, but whether it is the right thing to do...well, I'm not sure. It could be seen as inflammatory.
And surely the council will have to find somwhere for them to live...especially if they have very young children.

As stated above, it sounds good. "Call me Dave" being a man of action, firm, swift & decisive retribution on the defilers of decency, appealing to the populace in word at least by threatening strong action to be taken against the deadbeats & no-marks, but in reality ..... ?
