All sorts.............

Woman pushed onto tracks.........
after she asked 2 men in their 20's to stop smoking.
I saw a news clip of this lady last night and understandably she looked very scared and visibly shaken. She just missed the live rail which would have electrocuted her.
The police could now very easily be looking for 2 murderers if a train had come along or if indeed she had touched the live rail.

London still gridlocked..........
but wasn't the congestion charge supposed to be stopping all of that?
Well they set a good price for the congestion charge so there are slightly fewer cars on the road. Then they go and introduce inane traffic calming measures and of course a nice boom in roadworks - means that there are now more tailbacks and congestion than before.
The tickler for this one is - in trying to get more people to walk - they are of course going to make that more difficult now by axing pedestrian schemes and enabling shorter crossing times at lights.
I am sure if they carry on going in circles like this that one day one of these people that make these proposals will soon be able to bite their own ass!

Number 10 TV...............
Oh give me a break!!! The economy is all to crap - we have read about his personal trainer in order to get him 'fit' (and we all know who is paying for that!) and now this! Their other attempts online have been as popular as an implant at a feminists meeting (yeah yeah I have used this one before!) so they are going to try again?!?! Sooooooooo - their philosphy is - if something does not work - keep trying over and over again just to prove it doesn't? Or let's se if we can break the record of wasting taxpayers money on complete crap? As for reaching out to the public - he has tried and has failed and there is only so much reaching out you can do before you get your hand slapped and this has been happening on a more frequent basis for Gordon Brown.
He is now just looking sad and desperate and if he has half the intelligence he is supposed to have to be able to do a job like this then he should really just give it the heck up.

Pensioner lay dead in bed for 2 years...................
Nothing like good old fashioned community spirit - and this was nothing like it!
Ok so the world seems to have a problem with lack of community right now - not checking on someone that has not been seen etc etc
The one problem here is - the people that say 'this would never have happened in my day' ........... you are still alive so it is your day - and if you cannot check on someone personally for whatever reason - ask someone else to!
Whilst saying there is a lack of 'community' yet doing the same as others then surely you are just enabling that same situation to continue. No-one can do everything - or get those interested that just don't care - but that does not mean everyone should follow suit.
