What many people forget is that while most of the UK is gradually rising London is sinking faster - the tilt axis is somewhere around a line drawn from The Wash to the Severn Estuary. |

A simple glance at a map would confirm that.Such a "simple" glance shows only 2 places as after that is the Atlantic ocean. Surely those 2 "little" places are not still worrying the government? |

THAT is what they were doing in the irish Sea, no other reason.You sure it is not training for use in surveillance of the non-privileged ensuring they don't get near the privileged? |

If this report is anything to go on, pretty sure the privileged in their pursuit of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, don't give a toss for animal welfare. G4S refuses to disclose profits Nathan Ward said he had spoken to senior management, police, MPs and ministers but no action had been taken. |

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/351268-nyt-mueller-warned-manafort-to-expect-an-indictment Prosecutors on special counsel Robert Mueller's team reportedly told former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort that they planned to indict him when they picked his lock and raided his Virginia home in July. So will the Grand Jury list an un-indicted co-conspirator? |

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/351268-nyt-mueller-warned-manafort-to-expect-an-indictment I don't know if the following is accurate or not ..... ?????? But I read on the web somewhere (I can't remember where now) that it is a commond practise of US Prosecutors to use the threat of indictment to try to get a wittnes to "flip" If Mueller's team can threaten criminal charges against Manafort, they could use that as leverage to convince him to cooperate ?????

Byron, yes it is a common practice to over charge if they think the person has evidence they can use against another. Very common in drugs, where the bust the street level dealer and force him to inform on the distributor. They use this to try and get up to the head of the cartel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma |

https://www.voanews.com/a/trump-calls-for-world-action-against-north-korea-iran-venezuela-/4035239.html He told the opening session of the U.N. General Assembly that the U.S. "will have no choice but to totally destroy" North KoreaAnd what does Kim have that prevents that from happening today as it did to Iraq? Kim's nukes. And how is this attempt to bully Kim going to work? We all know the only tool tRump has ever used is bully. Look at how many times he has run to court! Unfortunately there is no court he can get Kim in. Kim is a bully and he isn't going to be out bullied by what he sees as a weak fool. tRump has just cemented that Kim will have nukes forever. Is tRump really that ignorant he can't find any other tool to apply to a problem other than bully? We know his daddy was KKK, so perhaps being a bully is all he has ever known in his life. So sad. |

We know his daddy was KKK, so perhaps being a bully is all he has ever known in his life. So sad Yea unfortunaly he is and he's a prize pri#k that should keep out of things he DON'T UNDERSTAND . DON'T MATTER if he's your president he is talking out of hid stinkhole and probably start WW3 fairly soon . I ain't knocking the position Trump holds at the moment I'm just saying that he should shut his mouth and stop tweeting his B/S every five minutes on things like this he has got F/A experiance of e.g POLITICS . Having a go at the person is completly different and if you can't understand that small fact there's NO hope for you !!! |

No one yet with this one? Ban social media trolls from voting, election watchdog suggests Banning social media trolls from voting could help reduce the amount of abuse faced by politicians, the election watchdog has said. The Electoral Commission says legislation around elections should be reviewed and new offences could be introduced. |

Campaigning on a ballot of fear-mongering and division doesn't help. Nor does having editors in your back pocket helping with the dirty work. I'd like to see that cleaned up first or at least at the same time. Will it matter to a social media troll not being able to vote? |

Will it matter to a social media troll not being able to vote? I doubt it would make any difference to the bottom feeding scum , it won't stop them spewing their vile hate filled sh#te everywhere they can will it . |
