http://www.bbc.co.uk...-wales-16444361 when i read this i wonder how many other people who are out there who are not registered and tell lies to say they are, and in my opinion the judge was right to jail him but eight months ? too short

I came across this on BBC news today http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16410118 Should this be an area the government needs to poke its nose into? I'm all for freedom of choice, if someone who is terminally ill wants to die I say they should have that right. We wouldn't let a sick animal suffer so why do we let people?

probably a random thing but funny.

Was wondering if we are required to have a TV licence by law? Was on Youtube earlier and ended up looking at vids' re: this. Let's assume I don't have a TV but have a computer that allows me to watch TV, however, I only watch Sky, 4od, etc, not BBC channels. Is not having a licence in such circumstances a criminal or civil matter?

Short and sweet really... Let's put a STOP to situations like SIGN THE PETITION Thank You Edit: DAMN CENTRE TAGS!!!

When I was younger it used to be criminals would demand some money/wallet and then leave if you did not resist. But know they also randomly stab/kick/punch the victim as well even if they do not resist. What is the world coming to!?

A perfect example of why you shouldn't be drunk on a train. She ends up under a Northern Rail train... BTP

Oxford City Council defends using CCTV in taxis Page last updated at 06:41 GMT, Friday, 23 December 2011 Oxford City Council has defended putting CCTV in all taxis and private hire cars. The cameras record both sound and pictures and Oxford is the second major city to say they should be compulsory. All taxis in the city must have them installed by 2015, with other cities monitoring the programme's progress. They've been in place in Southampton for the last year where the council claims they have helped bring people to justice. Critics though, say the cameras go too far. The policy is unlawful, unworkable and should be dropped Nick Pickles, Big Brother Watch…

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-16224062 An NHS consultant - who is also married to another doctor - is being paid £4.5 million from the NHS and 3 Senior staff. Apparently she has suffered chronic PTS disorder. I have to say this sort of thing repulsed me when compared to the sort of payout soldiers get for losing limbs and compensation that victims of crime get. I shouldn't imagine a family where both adults are senior doctors is going to be short of a few bob, but to divert that amount of funds from healthcare to pay a woman because she was picked on is in my mind disgusting. I'm sorry but people who have their legs blown off return to work as soldiers, I…
