I am quitting my job managing a pub in July so will have more time to devote to the politics forum, which I was basically pressurised into doing, because I did politics and economics at the LSE and because Crissie is my other half. IF she decides to still carry on here when she gets back from a weekendend away and all the stress she has had lately,I will mkae a concerted effort,

As much use as a chocolate tea pot,    I don't want to sound derisive, but, are you intending to change your gender, permantly.    Otherwise why would anyone want to reduce the size of their willy, if your just an occasional cross dresser try a cache sex. or as they are more commonly known as a gaff,   Admirers are normally thought of as men who have a liking for transexuals.   Unless your appendage is of humungus proportions most girls would be happy being on the recieving end of a decent sized willy, not some shriveled up little worm

David Cameron is now proposing, engaging the help of an american specilaist, regarding gang culture and rioting,    What Experticse can an american bring to the UK Police and our laws.    (1) Our police are not armed    (2)   the rules of engagement here have to be approved at government level.    (3)   Whilst not doubting his abilty in dealing with the same circumstances in the USA, things here are far removed from what he is used to, millions of dollars will not be made available to him for additional manpower.    (4)  Will the UK police resent the inference that he knows best and they basicall will appear second rate, needing to be shown how to do things.    the delays in dealing with the riots was the police waiting for the government to issue instructions as to a form of rules of engagemnt.   The enforcement of the  Riot Act is not within the remit of the UK Police, but the secretary of state.    And finally  (5)    Will these usurpers of law  and order, Thieving Robbing (scum bags)  See this appointment as a challenge, knowing that he will still be a government puppet.   He will not be given Carte Blanche,    

 

Just another big fat salary for basically nothing,    Same as the bloke that was supposed to sort out London Transport. g.
