    Not sure why I should feel sorry for people who volunteer to serve a prison sentence. If you don't want to live in overcrowded conditions don't volunteer to do so by stealing from or assaulting your fellow citizens.

    Except for the fact that poor prison conditions probably reduce rehabilitation and lead to reoffending. Prison is about removing people's freedom - not driving them into the abyss.
    Don't commit crimes, don't go to prison, don't require rehabilitation. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

    Wonder which game will bring us the first turgid 0-0 in the competition?

    Always have supported England, Wales, N Ireland, and of course not forgetting our neighbours Ireland in big tournaments. The only time I don't, is when they are up against the Scots in football or Rugby. Its incredible sad that the only time the issue of supporting other UK nations at big tournaments makes the news, is because of particular negative or nasty stories about those that don't. I have seen far more positive examples of the opposite being the case personally.

    Good for you, supporting England. Hopefully they will take inspiration from the Dutch that running at defenders can break down dull Mediterranean walls.

    more evidence the political class are not fit for purpose

    I'm not sure Mr Saddened is of the 'political class'. I'm sure he'll let us know if he is. Why you should object to the rational and sensible though escapes me. Are you really suggesting that we should feel sorry for criminals?

    Incidentally this 'fit for purpose' phrase is an abomination. Jack Straw brought it into popular use and it's been downhill from that lowly beginning ever since.

    No Richard, you scared of losing the arguments, and losing an In/Out Referendum in the near future. Utterly incredible to try to claim an In/Out EU referendum would be 'fixed' by Cameron or anyone else after both the AV referendum and now the Independence Referendum we are having up here in Scotland!
    But its utterly pathetic to then try to undermine Cameron by suggesting he is some how dishonest in his genuine offer of putting the decision of our continued EU membership to the British public in a Referendum! And simple because he opposes your position, and the public might end up agreeing with him rather than you!

    We should keep on reminding Kippers of that Hannan article, for only this part

    ....Plus, obviously, he [Cameron] represents our one chance of a referendum on leaving the EU.

    Well, quite. Hannan is that rare thing: a rational BOOer.
    And I wonder at what point Hannan will realise that Cameron will keep us in the EU no matter what. His position within the Tory party will become untenable before we reach referendum day.
    Well he is rational enough to see that Edonomics plus no referendum is significantly worse for the entire country than a Con govt and a referendum - so he won't be going anywhere as long as there is a referendum in the next parly.

    Contrast with you - gagging to foist Ed on us for 5 years "for the greater good" - no thanks !
    Of course if I were gagging to foist Ed on you it would indeed only be for 5 years. You on the other hand are gagging to foist ever closer union with the EU on to the rest of us permanently.
    Why are you so scared of a referendum ?
    I am not scared of a fair referendum, I am scared of a fixed one, which is what Cameron is planning. Why are you so scared of a fair referendum?
    Yes I could not agree more. Its sad but possibly instructive to see these weasel complaints being invented out of thon air.
