Give me a broad idea of your policies: economic, social, international etc etc!

It is so sad that such a beautiful country is going to the dogs. I think things have been let to go too far. This is one reason why I opted to live where I do. I made this decision in 1968 and even then I wasn't happy with the political state of Gt Britain. I feel safer where I live. I feel I have a better standard of living. Don't think that I don't miss the country where I was born. Of course I do, but I couldn't live there any more. It is not the country that I grew up in. Sylvia

HEAR HEAR SYLVIA Chrissy.

Well i could be at risk of upsetting a lot of people if i said what i really think but i will vote for anyone who gets rid of blair and his cronies now they are saying they will amalgamate all the guards regiments !!!! we haven't got enough men and equipment as it is why don't they sort the countries main problems out . My top gripes are crime life should mean exactly that stop mollycoddling these criminals all the lovely people out there don't know the half and bring back some sort of national service for all these thugs. Next sort out these immigrants, we are paying for them no wonder the nhs has so many problems so much money is spent on immigrants they are fleecing our country and us. I could go on and on but have to be careful what i say owing to the job i used to do but i'm sure you get the idea ,i want pride brought back to Great Britain and safety for the children and the elderly. And last i want out of the EU the worst thing we ever joined. Apologies if i have upset anyone but i am entitled to my views ,Oh by the way bring back matron. Chrissy.x

Dorothy what annoys me about the hymn is it has been sung in churches for so many years and is a much loved hymn no wonder people don't support the church as there used to be. As you say George Orwell was right . Chrissy.x

Chrissy, have you ever thought about standing for election? You've got some really good policies there.

Chrissy, with regard to crime - maybe they should take a trip to Singapore and see how they run the country, criminals are dealt with very harshly, and therefore there's very little crime. Those who said we mollycoddle them are quite right - I mean, how the hell does a serial rapist get allowed out to buy a lottery ticket, and be allowed to keep the proceeds - the worlds gone mad.

Hi paul , I know what you mean about Singapore i lived there for 2 years and went back 5 years ago for a holiday,you are right they are spot on wonderful place ,clean, safe and very friendly. I do know how prisoners come to be out but i'm afraid i can't divulge anything ,official secrets act and all that. Chrissy.x

Forgot to say there are now 2 prisons in Singers Changi and a drug one. Chrissy.

well yes, I think we all know that towards the end of someone's sentence it's standard practice to begin to allow them out for home leave etc to try and lessen the shock of suddenly being released, but that's not to say it's right. keep them in irons, thats what I say :)

John, If i stood for election i wouldn't last long i would be thrown out i would be so angry at the idiots who run our country. I just wish the mp's we vote in would listen to the people, i don't think they live in the real world must be nice the planet they are on and all the money they get OUR money. One of the worst things we did was sign up for this new human rights law it's not being used in the proper way. Bit more steam let off!!!! Chrissy.x

Human rights do an awful lot of good too you know. I'm certainly not in favour of human rights for criminals. As soon a they commit the crime they have forfited there rights and should be punished. Human rights can't just be got rid of. They protect good an innocent people like ourselves but the newspapers don't print those sorts of stories because it wouldn't sell papers.

I for one am totally fed up with the PC Police. It is now OK to have a Women's week, or a Festival of Black Music in Britain, or a Gay Pride march, but try to organise a White Men Only event and the PCP would have you hung drawn and quartered. What happened to PERSONAL freedom?

So what practical steps can normal people like us take to make it a country we're proud of again?

here bloody here Jim, I commented on this the other day, as they were advertinsing a motor insurance company "just for women" - try running one just for men and you'd get lynched.

John tell me what qualifies as normal as I'm not sure if I'm qualified to join in making practical steps:))

I Just thought i would let you know i am not and never have been a femanist never have been and never will be i believe in fair treatment for all and charity beginning at home but certain things get right up my nose as i pointed out earlier in my thread. Chrissy. xx

we are losing our identity.i asked my daughter on st.georges day did they celebrate or learn about anything to do with england.she said they learn't about the romans.also on d-day nothing was taught to the chidren about what had happened which to me is wrong.people fought and died in this country.young boys thats all they were.the education system should play a bigger role in teaching children about their heritage.

Once when I lived in Birmingham I applied to the Council for a Clerk's job. I was told I couldn't have it as they needed to employ an Asian Female to keep the mix right. I was unable to persuade them that they were unfairly discriminating against me.

jim i am not racist but i have always wondered about discrimination on a different side.if we were racially abused could we go to the police and report it and would they face the same charge as we would.i don't think that it would.would like to find out if anyone knowsxx
