And how come he gets to live in a great big council house when I wouldn't even make it on to the waiting list. When he's not in prison that is.

My wife is currently working on one such case at the moment.

And there I was worrying that your 6-year old non-taxpayer would be defenseless in case my plan of taxpayers only get legal aid goes ahead

Acts that name individuals in this way such as an Act of Attainder have fallen out of use.

"Previously secret British War Cabinet papers released on 1 January 2006 have shown that, as early as December 1942, the War Cabinet had discussed their policy for the punishment of the leading Nazis if captured. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had then advocated a policy of summary execution with the use of an Act of Attainder to circumvent legal obstacles. He was dissuaded from this by cabinet minister Richard Law who pointed out that the United States and Soviet Union still favoured trials.[7]"

Churchill had balls which is why he was the greatest UK leader of last century and possibly the best PM this country had. He certainly would not be deterred in this case.

So did he do it?

So did he do it?

No, but he had balls to propose it, albeit secretly. The reason he did not do it I guess is because USA and USSR wanted trials. It's the coalition thing ...

So how do you apply that single proposal over the last 300 years which referenced Nazi war criminals to the matter in question?

If I was running things such problem with deporting a few non-UK citizens would not even be on the agenda

If Maggie was back she'd sort it out

[Scoobos]

It's not slow at all, they have regular referendums and force politicians to do things nobody else in Europe would, that's ****ing democracy... and oh they trust citizens to have firearms, low taxes also - what's not to like?!?!

no it is slow

Regarding firearms they trust them with the rifles but not so much the ammo. Its a hot potato at the moment a number of high profile murders and suicides are putting an end to that

If Tony was around he's sort out a seat on JPMorgan's board as compensation.
