    there is no difference in meaning. The spelling with 'e' is British, the spelling with 'i' is North American.

    Maybe shutting down all the nuthouses and deciding psychotic peeps are better cared for in the community wasn't such a good idea as it sounded.

    Especially when it sounded an absolute shìtshow to begin with.

    It's a small mercy that we don't have the same gun laws / controls as the US - imagine the carnage at Southport if we did ...

    My point of view: cops beating up darkies is bad, cops refusing to arrest darkies is bad.
    Apparently this is not sensible. Go on then: share with us your sensible opinion.

    I'm all for people changing their ways and gaining a second chance in life, but only after suffering some pain for their sins, especially if it involved animal cruelty.

    I'm going to have to google, as I always thought that for the UK an enquiry was informal, and an inquiry was a more detailed and formal investigation.

    In British English, you will come across words enquiry and enquire. Basically, they have the same meaning as inquiry and inquire, but they are used in different contexts.

    In British English, inquiry means a formal investigation, of the type carried out by government, police, scientists or an official organization. Enquiry has the same meaning, but it is reserved for less formal investigations.

    For example, you might see an enquiry desk at a library, or you might make an enquiry (ask) if someone is feeling well. The same rule applies for the verbs inquire and enquire.

    You use inquire for formal investigations, whereas enquire is used for less formal investigations.

    So, in formal situations use inquiry and inquire:

    • The Levinson Inquiry transformed the editorial policies of British newspapers.
    • I’d like to make an enquiry about the flight times at the airport.

    I've yet to see anything that shows this is the same family, nor anything that supports the claim Starmer was involved.
