Should tackles and scrums be prohibited from school rugby fields?You have hit the nail on the head "if they want to play the game". Apparently circa 75% of schools force the boys to play rubgy. I hated hockey and wasted many a cold, miserable hour which could have be spent doing something else simply because power mad bullies said so.ViewDate:

Should parents be fined for taking term-time holidays?sadly a lot of parents don't value education to start will - expectations for their children seem to extend no further than the Benefit Office.ViewDate:

Should parents be fined for taking term-time holidays?When I spent some time in a local school on teacher training I was shocked to see how many parents put such a low value on education. A lot of time was wasted trying to find a suitable time for class activities when most of the class would be present. One family actually went on holiday the week before an important exam.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Lived in Germany some years ago - their combination of state/insurance funding seemed to work better than funding for the NHS. There are more models than the USA private or nothing concept.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?And which party did the bailing out? Also, which government encouraged an otherwise healthy bank to buy a toxic one?ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?People in England decided what happened in Scotland, Wales and NI for long enough - why shouldn't there be a strong Scottish voice in the UK parliament.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?If I remember correctly, Gordon Brown encourage us to use credit to spend our way out of debt! Labour also encouraged financial/service industries and useless degrees instead of industry and engineering skills.ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?He has recently stated that agricultural workers (ie low paid from Eastern Europe) would still be allowed to come on temporary permits with health insurance. As this is how they have come in previously, it would seem that he is becoming a little more practical!! After all, you can't expect our own folk to do that sort of work! (an can we?)ViewDate:

After watching the pre-Election TV debate who performed the best?Are you saying that well off people shouldn't use state schools or NHS hospitals? Also, using children, particularly a disabled child who has since passed away, to score political points against a parent is pretty poor form.ViewDate:

Do the current political campaigns affect the way you will vote?Will always vote but wish we could have proportional representation as in more modern assemblies. Our current system can give an huge majority of seat to a party with less than 50% of the votes - is that really democratic?ViewDate:

Is Chris Evans a suitable replacement presenter for Top Gear?Can we not have a program about cars which includes women presenters and is not pandering to middleage followers of "men behaving badly" and "the young ones". Top Gear is so last century - there are female racing drivers and also girls competing in top motorbike racing. What percentage of fast cars are own by petrol head females, I wonder.ViewDate:

Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?If Diana had stayed married and just had her numerous affairs, what would you have felt about her as Queen?ViewDate:

Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?Why should he have given up his right to be King - they were both single and she only married PB when he was sent off to serve in the Navy.ViewDate:

Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?What about Diana - she was having affairs while she was still with Charles, hence the speculation which must be very hurtful.ViewDate:
10th Apr 2015janetann commented on:
Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?Think back to the 70's & 80's. The "Silversurfers" of the day would never have accepted as commoner as queen. Diane is said to have decided she would be Princess of Wales when Charles was going out with her sister! She must have known the score - look who her forebears were.ViewDate:

Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?When they first met all the hyocritacal snobs wouldn't have allowed them to marry - he was required to marry someone suitable and did so because it was his duty as heir to the throne.ViewDate:

Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?Are you always so forgiving? By all the accounts of affairs, including with married men, Diana wasn't perfect - she seemingly got confused on some issues (like when her affairs started) during "that interview" so you cant take everything she said as gospel. But all that is in the past - no doubt the women she wronged have moved on so why can't everyone else? -
