What it really is a bottom covering exercise and no one wants to be the guy who let people take water bottles back onto planes the day before one blows up or the guy who didn't do anything to make living a bit safer for their voters. I think not looking weak on <em>terrorism</em> at all costs is a problem that stretches across all political groups.

Most of the rules were reactions to events that were not properly considered. They were designed to make the previous administration look as though it was doing something without them actually having to so something! A bit like control orders, ID cards, DNA databases and other such examples if crazy things brought in by New Labour! It is all a bit of a nightmare.

Arrest it? I didn't like the BBC interview with the exterminator the parents have hired to kill anything with a tail within 20 miles because he said "an animal that has lost its fear of humans is a dangerous animal" because, firstly, my cat would like to disagree and secondly, that's exactly what you would say, that's you touting for work. To be honest I'm against people with conflicts of interest talking to the news in general.

Crazy. I'm still sceptical that it was a fox in the first place, tbh. :-\ Yeah – totally agree that the police guard is overkill!! Crazy.

I think you need to make a maturity judgment about if you are ready to do (I think law is a particularly brutal step up) university or if an extra year will be good for you.

Instead of doings the A Levels in 6th? Thanks. Is it recommended to apply for University after 5th year? Instead of doings the A Levels in 6th? Thanks.
