Steven Trustcott was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder about 50 years ago, and sentenced to death - the youngest Canadian to receive such a sentence (which was commuted and he spent 10 years in prison). Recently, the atrocious justice(?) system in Canada - similar to our American system - declared him Not Guilty.

But a few days ago, the brother and father of the victim filed a lawsuit in an attempt to block any $$$$ compensation for Trustcott on the basis that he was not declared innocent of the crime.

With unrest growing towards Islamic extremists and various immigrants do you ever fear that support for radical political parties may increase to a level that would allow them to have some level of power or even take charge?

I’m an American and I found that this pretty much demonstrates exactly how we “stand” here in America regarding oil prices. What are your thoughts?

So many immigrants it's difficult to understand people.
Being gay is classed as more normal than being straight.
The ability not to discipline the younger generation.
The Government stabbing everyone in the back with the EU.
Lack of respect from younger generations.
Local Government costing twice as much for half the service.
Police and NHS only interested in targets.
The victim has less rights than the criminal.
Free speech has gone.
Democracy is an anagram for dictatorship.

The list is endless but why has everything gone down the drain?

We get enough lying, cheating, bashing from a male dominated society, Y do females still bash each other?
Many women degrade each other by calling each other bi(ches and are more critical/judgemental of each other. (And THINK this is normal.)

When the guy cheats, the woman automatically blames each other. As if the woman was inadequate that he had to cheat or it was the other women who enticed the bf. Hellooooooooooo? Many guys lie to get some, dont you know this?????

As long as they divide us they will always conquer us.
