Forum: Politics & Debate

But who's right?

  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: Starting a thread in Politics & Debate

    Hi all, This is just a quick guide to starting a thread here. You don't have to follow it, but sometimes people may feel concerned about how to bring up a debate. So this is a suggestion for how you might want to start a thread so that you'll be able to get the ball rolling on whatever's on your mind. 1. Debate pretty much covers everything There's a huge variety of issues that can be...

  1. Abortion

    i am very against abortion! i totally disagree with it. there's millions of women out there who would give anything for a baby but are unable to have their own. i feel that unless there is a serious medical condition that abortion should be avoided at all costs! it is known to wreck your chances of conceiving later in life.

  3. "Three-year wait for mental health counsellors across UK"

    We were talking about this in chat.... (Article here) Any views on this? There aren't many (any?) areas of healthcare where a 3 year wait would be acceptable, and I think it is time that perhaps mental health is seen in the same way as other physical problems, i.e. things can get worse if left untreated. I think that considering a lot of people start to get symptoms at a young age,...

  4. Naughty Peers

    Things seem to have been a bit slow in P&D lately, largely because I think the news has been uninspiring, but this kind of peaked my interest, mainly because of my initial 'meh, more scandal' reaction: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11567539 Can anyone else image their punishment being suspension if they were found guilty of misappropriating £125k? And these are just...

  5. No limits on tuition fees

    That's what the privately-educated, unelected Lord Browne has urged in a new report. Not only that, but the increased borrowing caused by this would come with higher interest rates. If we can't afford to send 50% of the population to university, then send less, and decide based on academic merit, rather than bank balance.

  6. Plans to cut child benefits

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11470983 So basically its done by the highest earner, making more than £44k, so if both parents earn a combined £80k, then they still get benefit. I understand that cuts need to be made, and I agree with the concept that the richer should have cuts made before the poorer. Not because I agree with any tax assault on the rich, but benefits are there to...

  9. Moved: Child Benefit Changes

    Anyone else been keeping up with today's proposal from Gideon? Well, the idea is that universal child benefit will be abolished with those earning over £44k (i.e. 40% tax bracket) no longer being eligible. Which is fair enough, as a concept. Except, as you would expect from the Tories, it doesn't appear to be that well thought out - as Dizzy explains here. Whoops!

  10. Privatisation of Royal Mail

I can't see how the Royal Mail could possibly survive as a private company, lesser known provide the current flat rate services on a commercial basis. I'll see if I can get any scans of the Union newspaper up...

  11. Ed Miliband is the new leader of the Labour party

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11412031 I'm glad it is Ed Miliband, I think he will be a good leader and I'm glad that the new leader has the support of the unions. I hope he chooses Ed Balls as his shadow chancellor, not least because Ed Balls constituency about 5 miles down the road from me. Who did you want to see win the leadership contest? What do you think of the result?

    Did anyone else watch last night's documentary about the Pope? The Protest the Pope campaign believe that, whilst he is entitled to freedom of movement and his freedom of speech, his state visit should not be state funded due to his controversial views and the fact that the Catholic church has around $50billion in assets. The current Pope is a man: Who opposes the universal...

Oh, because of the six month time limit, which expired while...

  19. Will street markets survive through 21st century?

    Part of the British way of life has always been having street stalls available for buying groceries, textiles, sweets, veg etc at a slightly lower price with the lower overheads. Is there much of a future for regulated town street markets? The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has commissioned a study to look into the viability and future of having market stalls trading on London's streets

    This comes from the NHS Direct thread. The NHS needs to change it's spending plans over the next five years so that it saves £20bn from current costs, so that it can reinvest elsewhere. So the question is: Where would you make these savings?
