COMMENT:
We suffer from the government trying to price people off the roads to ease overcrowding, followed by the rail companies trying to price people off the trains to ease overcrowding. They alternate.

COMMENT:
We're bled dry by income tax, council tax, green tax, VAT, utility bills and national insurance. With Vat charged on duty, we're even taxed on our taxes. The value of the pound is falling. The government imposes wage restraint (and most of us can't give ourselves a sneaky rise by increasing our expenses and allowances). It's going to get worse when interest rates rise and people can't pay their mortgages. How can there be a recovery when people have no money to spend.

In 38 years British forces lost 700+ in Northern Ireland, in the end diplomacy and talking made the difference, thinking anything different will work in Afghanistan is folly! John Conroy, Omagh, United Kingdom Oh? I thought it was the Catholics breeding themselves to a majority of voting age which made the difference in Northern Ireland. Not that I'm suggesting that a ban on birth control will solve the problems in Afghanistan.

COMMENT:
Instead of getting time off the sentence for good behaviour, prisoners should have time added on for bad behaviour. I don't want victim support, I want revenge. There's too much focus on rehabilitation and not enough on punishment. If the prisons are full, prisoners should share a bunk - they could have a 3 shift system, 8 hours sleeping, 8 hours working and 8 hours being rehabilitated.

They're making sure that no bank is to big to fail. Be careful where you put your money.

Of course I support the strike. I don't want to see half a dozen competing postmen delivering mail to the profitable streets while outlying areas get one delivery a week funded from council tax.

Selling a few books on eBay doesn't mean you're running an internet business. Stop moaning, you will continue to receive your benefits.

What does it mean? One spliff is less dangerous than one fag or a pint? Is ecstasy less dangerous than a double whisky, or a bottle of whisky, or 20 fags? The fact that less people die from LSD than from alcohol doesn't make it less dangerous. I've been in a car with a drunken driver and he didn't keep asking which colour red is.

I think people are wrong to direct their anger at the postmen. It's clear now that Royal Mail want this strike. They have no intention of reaching any kind of agreement, they are intent on breaking the union to clear the way for privatisation. If management continue to be intragnisent, they should be clamped.

COMMENT:
I was astonished when I saw on the news, the extraordinary lengths Royal Mail have gone to, to set up an alternative sorting and delivery network. Clearly, they've no intention of giving an inch. How was this alternative network financed? Who organised it? If TNT aren't involved, I'm a Dutchman. I wouldn't be that surprised to find that they have someone on the RM board of directors. I'm furious. It's time the Government stepped in, I didn't vote Labour to see a workforce treated like this.

We all know how the game is played, they'll settle it today and we'll all go back to using them.
