Happily retired, after just over four decades of working in book publishing and then business journalism. Held posts as a writer, editor, marketing manager.
@CollinRugg This attacker is clearly not fit to live among others in a community. He is out of control, excessively violent, and should be executed as a dangerous, malfunctioning human being who cannot be trusted to live in a community. Either that or give him a lobotomy.
@MartinSLewis@Jeremy_Hunt I am confused. Inflation isn’t being driven by spending. I thought it was the ruse in the costs & prices of commodities and utilities. Price rises driven by war, BREXIT, scarcity of parts and workers. Interest rises will not work in this economic climate, just cause hardship.
@TheFabBookLover You were fired for being consistently late. We all have bad days, panic attacks, irrespective of colour or gender. So I come home to a phone message from my husband saying he’s not coming g home because he’s left me for another woman. But I am in work, on time, the next day.
@DailyMail In light of the headlines around Schofield’s young lover, shock horror, here’s another older bloke with a young lover. But not making headlines? Why not? Well, because he’s heterosexual, as opposed to homosexual, of course.
@richardpbacon Schofield hadn’t done anything illegal. He’d lied because he believed he was in a homophobic work environment where the age gap between him and his lover wouldn’t be regarded as would an old man with a much younger girlfriend. She is making career capital out of it - bad!
@clownworld Why? How can a person, so evidently mis-wired, violent and a threat, be safe to walk the streets? How will he ever be a contributing citizen - as in pay taxes? How will he ever be anything but a drain on society, at best? At worst a danger. Best execute him now.
@titter42069@MattWallace888 As part of his training to become a doctor, my brother was sent to work in Ramptons - a high security prison here in the UK. The guy in charge told my brother that the prisoners in there should have been executed as they will ALWAYS reoffend if released back into society.
@5HITPOST@NicolasChaillan@MattWallace888 Name one city or town in the world that doesn’t have this? Criminals are just not afraid of the penalties any more. This is attempted murder. That attacker should face the death penalty for such a brutal attack.
@MattWallace888 Judicial penalties need to be harsher all round. Executions for murder and repeat sexual offenders. More room in prisons to give longer sentences to people like this. The issue is that criminals are just not frightened enough of the punishments handed out today.
@JeremyVineOn5 If I were running from a place where my family and myself were terrified of arrest, rape, detention, torture, execution, I would be happy to share a room. What’s not fair is that after a lifetime of paying taxes, at 64, I’m having to pay for a dentist when I can least afford it!
