    I had a discussion with the other half on knife stuff a couple of days ago. I can see absolutely no reason why the sale of these things are even allowed or why anyone would want to manufacture them in the first place. Admittedly the knives on show at the time of the discussion were far worse than the one in your advert but to me the principal still applies.

    DEATH BY MRI SCANNER

    A 61 year old man was sucked into a MRI scanner.

    His wife had just finished a scan....and she called her husband into the scanner room....which she should not of done.

    He was wearing a heavy metal necklace....and the strong metallic pull of the scanner sucked him into the scanner.

    He was taken into casualty....but died a couple of days later.

    This happened in Long Island New York State.

    What? An inquiry into something that happened 41 years ago?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgelpx2ljpo

    For a start, many if not most of the senior people involved in making the key decisions are no longer with us. That makes inquiring pretty difficult and means there’s no-one to punish anyway.

    Secondly, although there may have been a desire to break militant and extremist unions, let’s remember the strikes were called without ballots and were politically motivated too.

    Thirdly, this was an industry which would by now have been swept away by the need for clean energy anyway.

    As against any misconduct by the police, two striking miners were convicted of murder for dropping a concrete block from a motorway bridge onto a working miner’s car.

    Following the evisceration of Labour’s budget by leftist MP’s, the suspension of Diane Abbot and others and threats from the Unite union to disassociate itself from the party, this looks like nothing for than a sop to the far-Left.

    What’s the point? And what’s the cost? What actions will be taken as a result of the inquiry?Have they nothing better to do?
