Should controversial statues around the country be removed?No, it’s our history and should not be taken away. Every country on this planet used slaves, whilst I don’t agree with taking them down what I do say is keep them and put a placard at the side giving the history of that person so that our children can learn from it. The whole world has been built on slavery, the pyramids, the Great Wall of China, what, are we going to take these down? I thought not!! Let’s concentrate on the present and stop the present day slavery and human trafficking, our energies are best serving the future not reliving the past.ViewDate:

Should disposable barbecues be banned?I live in an area which has just had acres of woodland devastated by fire caused by a disposable barbecue. I also have woodland at the rear of my property and last year my husband was treated to a torrent of abuse when he confronted a couple using a bbq at the foot of a tree, they eventually agreed to put it out and poured water on it. Low and behold half an hour later we had to go up and tend to it ourselves as unattended it had started to smoulder again!! They are in a very robust foil tray and unfortunately the water seeped through holes that were in the bottom of the tray and some embers were still left alight. I hate to think what would have happened if we hadn’t been out in our garden that day!ViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?When you consider what the BBC pay their show hosts, radio hosts, etc etc the money they will save taking this away from over 75's will be a mere pittance, absolutely shameful !!!!
