It’s not going to cure the problem but worth a go for £57k (apparently). Might help stop someone carrying.
It's bollocks, pathetic. Systematic, social issues are the problem, but no one will ever admit that. Massive inequality will only ever lead to these sort of social issues. It's a choice, made by people who don't give a ****, because **** like this doesn't touch their lives.

I couldn’t agree more. Still don’t think it’s a bad idea in itself.

If there was an appetite to really make positive social changes, you would hear someone speak up against a system which is for the privileged few, but you don't and you won't. Hence, chicken box messages. It's an insult at best.

C'mon get real. It's a ****ing ****e idea made by someone who has never carried a knife or been in a chicken burger shop! That 57k could have gone to a couple of victims or perpetrators to visit a whole lot of high schools for a year showing the true repercussions and consequences of knife crime. But **** it let's put a message on a chicken box.
 
I see Trump has proposed that the US buy Greenland, the world's largest island. Greenland and Denmark have said No, Greenland is not for sale. Some Danish politician has said it's the final proof Trump has gone mad. Perhaps Trump will turn his attention to the world's 8th largest island.....which will probably get both Boris, and the EU excited.

I don't think the UK has the oil reserves of Greenland so he'll keep us as an outlet for his bleached chicken.
 
We’ve had the referendum and we’ve had the result. It doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about the intelligence of the electorate or what we think any of them was ‘really’ voting for.

What does matter though, is that no one voted for No Deal.

How do you know that? I don’t know that. I always thought that if May couldn’t ever reach an agreement with the EU we’d leave anyway, but assumed that two sides of grown ups might actually be able to reach a deal. What I didn’t expect was parliament demanding a say on the terms, then repeatedly rejecting them.

Well we did reach a deal didn't we? Even Johnson voted for it in the end. If he was to bring it back, it would most likely be passed now, but he won't because he's in hock to the lunatic elements of the Tory party. Tory madness rules.

If he had any sense he’d put May’s deal - or her deal with whatever tweaks he can negotiate- to the House one more time and tell ‘em it’s this or ‘no deal’.

What I don’t get about our misrepresentatives in parliament is surely these prats understand that any deal is not forever? May’s deal, as I understand it, had a clock ticking on certain facets such that much were provisional arrangements to allow time for things to bed in and transition in an evolutionary and managed way. That seemed quite sensible to me.
