I’m afraid this is being unnecessarily over complicated again, leading to confusion and ultimately the wrong conclusion. Winding this back to basics, if a persistent criminal is in a prison, they can’t commit crimes against people who aren’t in prison, ie you and me. Then comes the cost of...

The traditional mainstream parties only have themselves to blame. Ordinary people no longer feel represented, so they will go to the nearest thing which gives the illusion of representing their concerns.

No, things and people are travelling between an EU country (Italy) and a non EU Country (Switzerland). Just like the U.K. and Ireland. This is the real issue. You are taking a problem which already has a tried and tested working solution, making it unnecessarily complicated, confusing...

I travel between Italy and Switzerland frequently and have only ever seen border checks about 5% of the time, and then the guards are usually looking bored, smoking and waving everything through.

I beg your pardon. Do I need to call for a physician to attend to you?

No, I’m not advocating life for all crimes. Initially, the sentence can be short, if they do it again it can be long, and if they persist, it can be until they are of an age that they are no longer physically capable of crime. The situation we have at the moment is people roaming the streets...

It has on the Swiss / Italian border. Look, I don’t think we should be having this debate because we shouldn’t be leaving. However, all of this hard Irish border talk is pure BS. If the EU are finding it so difficult, let them build a border and patrol it.

For however long as they are isolated and confined into a secure space measuring a maximum of 2m x 2m they can't commit crime. It's when we let them go before they are ready that causes the problems.

grey didn’t, I did when I said that Switzerland looked after stolen gold and other assets stolen from the Jews. Which they did.

You are already up to your neck, so you are too late to say that.

The Swiss are masters of smuggling and unsavoury practice. Look at all that Nazi gold they still take care of and the stolen artwork from the Jews. The EU can never contain the Swiss, so the Irish border should be a easy.

That’s a function of soft prison sentencing. The potential penalty makes the risk to reward ratio viable, as it is in many other areas of crime. Like the border problem, this crime problem also has a solution.

The technology is already here. It’s being used in Switzerland.

I think they were being deliberately awkward, probably due to May's personality and a desire not to assist her in any way.

But I’m not a national broadcasting organisation carrying all of the responsibilities which go with that. I’m just a nobody.

I wonder what the BBC’s response would have been if Jo Brand had recommended throwing battery acid all over Nicola Sturgeon? Would they have been as relaxed about it as they are when it concerns Farage? Sadly, I think the time has arrived to shut the BBC down. It’s been hijacked.

If you are honest and straight with people, they will follow you and you can lead them. There is only a requirement to fall back to a position of lying when you are short on ideas and talent. That’s why lying is becoming the norm in politics. If you are content with being lied to, that’s your...

Ooooerrrr missy! :cool:

It depends on how you define winning. If you are ok with winning at any cost, sacrificing morality and ethics for example, then yes, Johnson is your winner, the standard you admire and strive to achieve. I can give you multiple examples of where Johnson has lied, failed, cheated and deceived...

That is a prospect which I find equally worrying.
