Osbourne has gone mad trying to link benefits culture to the child murderer. There are only 180 families on benefits in the UK with more than 10 children the cost is insignificant, let alone saying his sociopathic behaviour is due to benefits culture.

dispite the fact his motive for the fire (which killed his 6 children) was to gain a bigger house, thus more benefits?
The issue is wider but there certainly is a big problem with benefits in this country.. its a poor excuse to start a debate but can you blame Osbourne for latching on to it? politics dream this..

His motives were to frame his ex-mistress, because he was a controlling, misogynistic psycho.

correct.

When kids see Joey Essex as a role model I question the parents and democracy.

Why can't the PM order dismantlement of Trident, not tell anyone and replace the warheads with paper mache equivalents, this saving a million trillion pounds and everybody would still think we could nuke them? Problem solved argument over.

You're the idiot.

How would a nuke be a more effective than an anti missile defence systems?

please explain

Because the chances of anybody actually firing a missile on a state equipped with nuclear ICBM's is slim to none.

May I ask what study you've done in this field?

Once again, see Germany and Japan post WW2. Especially Germany. Are they at any more risk of being nuked than us? Absolutely not. This whole argument is total nonsense.

You are so thick it's unreal.

They don't have nukes.

sure they are protected under an "umbrella" but so would we if we got rid of trident.

Nuclear are weapons are irresponsible, pointless and do not make us more safe.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

this reminds me of when our class sat in on a CND questions and answers and when we raised some obvious and what most people would see as pretty crucial points all they replied with was the evasive broken record about nuclear weapons being immoral and useless etc

he's saying the same thing he did a few pages back despite what's been written here. i don't think there's any point continuing…

Is there ever gonna a time when the middle east is not dominating world news? if it's not Egypt, it's Syria and if it's not that is some other shit pit that's got the world police nations champing at the bit to start bombing the shit out of it.

Western oil dependance requires a stable middle east. Every ruler has been put in by us to keep stability until it goes tits up.

What's Putin up to?

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/opinion/putin-plea-for-caution-from-russia-on-syria.html?hp&_r=1&

Is he genuinely trying to find a diplomatic solution, or has he done this to undermine the American administration?
