Bernie has the best voice of all the candidates though !
What larks eh!
And how I spent night after night waiting around on my PC for the poll to be released, and then debating its non-movement for another hour or so.
YouGov owe me a lot of sleep.
"A 17-year-old girl who was physically and sexually attacked in Sønderborg will herself face charges for using pepper spray to fend off her assailant."

A lot of the folk attending Trump rallies interviewed by Frei sounded very like Tea Partiers.

In this market, if you have a buyer for your flat don't lose him. Sell and rent for 3 months if you have to while you find the right place

I saw your comment about DRC. Is now the right time to mention I had a very pleasant Grand Echeveaux, 1990 on Sunday? According to my Dad it was the perfect wine for sausages. I didn't protest too much!
@Alanbrooke
Did I see you say something positive about Cameron on the last thread? I almost fell off my chair!
Does your name mean Dark Blue or Red Lotus

and did it affect the way you voted at GE 2015? How do you feel with Jeremy as your great leader?

CNN has Trump on 37% with Tea Party backers nationwide to Cruz's 34% but Trump leads 41% to 19% overall

'Wibbly wobbly Tory bottoms...'
'Osborne has to go...'
'Cameron. Pledge an EU referendum. NOW!'
'That Michael Crick really is a ...'
I tactically voted for Jezza as a £3-er, let's just say I am "satisfied" with his performance
BTW it can't mean "red lotus" that must be a typo...
The point, if anyone actually read the article not just the headline, is that pepper spray is an unlawful weapon to possess or use in Denmark. She might get a Kr500 fine (which will likely be paid by donation) or a simple admonishment. But it's still an offence and the police are obliged to report it to whatever they call the Fiscal.
What do you think the girl should have done? Laid back to think of England (sorry, Denmark)?
You are quiet happy for people in the UK to go around with unlicensed firearms? As long as they are women. Or do you think everyone should be allowed to carry firearms?

However, from a legal perspective, guilt and mitigating circumstances are separate considerations. She would be guilty of illegal possession of a firearm, but might get some consideration in sentencing for the circumstances in which her possession came to light.
In the case of the Danish girl, I would hope that the mitigation would reduce any penalty to almost zero and that her case would spark a reasoned national debate about:
1. the wisdom of banning pepper spray as a defensive weapon
2. how to protect women from such assaults if circumstances have changed
3. the legal protections for self-defence during assault
In any case, I'm warming to the idea of an England & Wales outside both the EU and the union with Scotland.
He seems to have a particular issue with women having a go at him and gets personal very quickly. It would be useful to know if he has form against candidates too to gauge how he might go on against Hillary. I'm tempted to think he might blow his chances there and then, should he be nominated.
“It is illegal to possess and use pepper spray, so she will likely be charged for that,” local police spokesman Knud Kirsten told TV Syd.
Whether the fine is paid by the victim herself or not is almost irrelevant. What we are seeing here is a young girl who has been sexually attacked and yet she is the only one in this situation who is being treated as an actual criminal (since her attacker cannot be found).
I think this is because pepper spray can be offensive as well as defensive. It would be very useful if planning a street robbery or assault in disabling a victim.
Sadly Fiorina's campaign has fizzled out since then. The Planned Parenthood row didn't do her any good.

I wondered if it might be a source of anaphylaxis but a quite google search suggests not. So it appears a reasonable self-defence tool for people to carry.
Do you care what Brown, Prezza, Mandleson... or any of the others who held office pre 2010, say these days, Blair.. Should be tried as a war crinimial,,, . Alistair Campbell.. zzzz.. etc etc they are yesterdays people.. just as Dave and Co will be in the not to distant future..

The one thing we should all have learnt about The Donald by now, is that his pisses on the rules and, for the most part, either gets away with it or gets yet another poll boost as it speaks to many of the frustrations tons of people across social structures have with an overly politically correct world.
Those South Yorkshire coppers, for example, who suppressed evidence, ignored complaints and even threatened complainants didn't join up to do that, but they found that telling the truth and staying true to their oath office was not a good career move, so they didn't.

"young girl successfully fends off a sexual attacker and get punished for it".
Now, drop your legal hat and try to sell that as a politician.
The English (and Welsh) people would rather we became an independent nation again, even if that means reducing the British state to the good ol' Kingdom of England (which we can renew and name "England and Wales" in good spirit).
Big business, the political elite, the SNP v. the English and Welsh people. That's the battle we face.
From what I've read here, she is quite fortunate to be in Denmark as it seems in the UK she would be facing a trial where incarceration would be a possibility (unlikely, I would hope, but possible).
The muslim population of the entire world is 22%, and clearly this includes countries where the population is 100%.
As far as I can see those muslims of a militant tendency are busy killing each other more tha n anything else.
That's the very reason politicians regularly make such bad laws in the first place (of which pepper spray bans may well be one example of).
Far better to use this legal alternative, which also stains the attacker for several days thereby labelling them for the police to find and charge:

The Muslim population in the UK is rising rapidly. The fertility rate is higher than the rest of the population. Net migration continues at a pace.
Your 4.5% figure comes from the 2011 census - **actually** the figure in 2011 was 4.83% - and the 2001 census had a figure of 3.07%. The 2021 census will show it around 7% probably.
