This is the thing isn't it Jay, the perpetrator can be the victim too. Some poor tortured souls roaming our streets should be cared for in a safe environment. Safe for them and safe for us.

No, Absolutely Write, who would like to go into politics unless you were a greedy, selfish, grasping cretin.

Anne, you said it. It makes me feel so helpless. And I suspect worse is yet to come. Give Mandelson a few more months to weave his magic and this country won't be worth living in.

If I thought he would even read it, let alone understand it, I would be tempted Eddie. But unfortunately, it would be like pissing in the wind (as it where).

I couldn't agree more. I said at the time, and I still believe, that it was a mistake to dismantle the asylums for the mentally ill.

In these politically correct times, it seems the powers that be have forgotten what the word 'asylum' means. Yes, it's a great responsibility to run such establishments, because we have a duty to care for these unfortunate people in the best and most complete way, and not in any way punish them for their illnesses, and that is a most difficult and exacting task.

But the word 'asylum' means 'a safe place'. And so many of the people with mental illnesses desperately need a safe place to shield them from a world which is hostile to them and which can overload their struggling minds.

Perhaps we should remind our 'leaders', that in the case of the criminally insane, those places used to protect us, too.

Well Said RAC. Today a young woman of 21, 7 months pregnant, on her way to work, was stabbed in the back. She and her baby girl were both killed. Apparently an unprovoked attack. This should be a wonderful country to live in - as you say "what is going on"? A x

Well said R&C.
Mr Brown reminds me of Ramesese II
I say to him, "Let my people go! by going yourself and Now!!!"
He can never in a million years undo the mess he and his croney's have got us into. And no-one will ever trust him again!!
Are you going to send it? - please do!! ~ Best wishes, Eddie

Maggie, my friend DogLover pointed me towards the Libby Purves article which says the same thing, only a million times more eloquently.

Exactly, R & C, I might have written that letter myself.
