Do you usually leave a tip in a restaurant?What a rediculous thing to say, they were happy living in Cyprus, like thousands of English people. It amazes me how people forget how many British build up ghettos in Dosin, France, Cyprus etc. The hypocrisy is astounding.ViewDate:

Should Britain agree to take more refugees?I am becoming more and more concerned on the amount of vile and frankly very misleading far right comments appearing everyday on FB. They are being shared by normal everyday people. WHY? FEAR. The governments of Europe have behaved in the most impotent manner I have ever witnessed. Why on earth were the poorest nations in Europe left to deal with the huge amounts of people coming over. There was no way we're they ever going to be able to cope. There was no proper processing to deal with the economic migrants from the genuine refugees. Merkels response has been unbelievably Irresponsible she should be ashamed. All that she has done is for the economic benefit of Germany nothing about humanitarianism. No checks welcome all. This response is the best fodder for the far right, they are loving this, telling all and sundry that ISIS is invading Europe, and nobody can prove differently. I think Cameron's response is measured and the correct way with all the proper checks carried out.But we should be taking more. As for comparisons to our own people's needs then that is our fault not the refugees, we voted in a party hell bent on Austerity we got what we voted for. Be careful who you blame, or the innocent will suffer.ViewDate:

Do you usually leave a tip in a restaurant?I always leave a tip if I have received good service, but only after I have checked that the worker gets the tip. a lesson I learned a few years ago in Cyprus. We had been frequenting a lovely cafe, where we were served by two lovely Bulgarian lads. After a couple of days they came to us and said not to leave a tip. "Margaret you have paid our boss once please don't pay him again" The boss searched them on the start and end of each shift taking any monies left for them as tips. We continued to go because they were so lovely and good at their jobs but no longer left a tip. At the end of our holiday we caught up with them after their shift and gave them the two weeks worth of tips. The behaviour of their employer really disgusted me, hence why I now always ask the question.ViewDate:

Should smoking be banned on British beaches?Thank you at last someone on my wave length, we all pollute, yes I still smoke but like most smokers I try to be as considerate as I can. I am sick of being painted as if I'm a horrible filthy person. My habit is horrible I know that, but I'm not.ViewDate:

Should smoking be banned on British beaches?THEY? We are human beings you do realise this. As for the cost to the NHS if you can name me one other group of people that actually contributes Billions more in tax for the NHS than it takes out I will be amazed. Some of the comments on here regarding people who smoke are hugely offensive. Why do non smokers assume that we "all" just dump or butts. Do you all as clean living human beings drop your waste everywhere. Do non of you have any vices that you wish you didn't? We never hear how much sport injuries cost the NHS. I wonder why that is. We do actually pay our council tax, the tax that pays to maintain the very beaches,streets,roads ,public buildings , that if you had your way we would not be able to have access to. I am a tax paying citizen of this country and I have as much right to enjoy it's open public spaces as you do. What's going to be next smell detectors ? I am NOT breaking the law by smoking. What happened to the mad rush of non smokers that where going to be rushing to the pubs and restaurants ? Over 23 thousand have closed since the smoking ban. Now is that because we're also alcoholics or maybe just maybe we are actually more sociable.ViewDate:

Should smoking be banned on British beaches?Yet again smokers are the easy target, you will get more pollution from the steady stream of holiday makers traveling to the beach, but that doesn't count because it's your car, your van, your bus, your train. The non polluters that you non smokers are. With regards to the rubbish it's tiny compared to pop bottles, beer cans crisp packets BBQ etc. Yes I smoke I also pay massive amounts of tax, my smoking has never stopped me working. Smokers contribute billions more to the NHS than they take out, but the obese, most of which will leave their rubbish behind because there too fat to pick it up are costing the NHS billions they can't work because they are too fat, they need millions spent on being educated on how to eat healthy foods, you wouldn't dare tell them to get of YOUR beach . Many millions of people like me started smoking way before we knew all the risks, are you really prepared to tell an 80 year old that they are not allowed on the beach that they fought to keep safe for you because it offends you right to fresh air. They've already been isolated from the social clubs and pubs now their not allowed a deck chair a beer and a tab. Thanks Brighton council. You've just proven the hypocrisy of PC brigade.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Why is it when an British person expresses any concern regarding immigration and the abuses of our NHS or Benefits we are immediately marked as racist . Regardless of the cost no one even touched on the fact that there are now thousands of non British HIV people living in this country that could spread that most terrible illness. I wonder if they would have been so Blasé if it had been Ebola .ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Marking Farage as a racist is becoming very boring now. At the end of the day if we go to Europe on holiday the first question asked "is are you insured" if you fall ill. Why should we be any different. I noticed that not one of them would answer his question on treating foreigners with aids. Do I want him as our PM no. Do I want them to have a strong voice definitely . As for Ms Sturgeon a very dangerous woman with a divisive agenda.ViewDate:

Should unemployed young people work for their benefits?I have noticed that a lot of people are making comments about the pay being £1.90 an hour. It is not pay. They are not earning a wage, it is simply asking them to out something back into the society that is supporting them. Being un-employed is isolating, can cause depression and lead to feelings of low self-esteem. By contributing a service to society they will learn wonderful skills that will push them forward into the world of work. Punctuality, communication, how to take instruction, finish a task and most importantly pride at a job well done. How anyone can find fault in learning these skills is beyond me. Too many of our young have not only been written of by society but have written themselves off. This can only be a good thing . My only proviso would be that no company or individual profits in monetary terms from their work. It is NOT a punishment .
