Creeping destruction of England.

Point 1/.I look around me and see nonsensical Health and Safety rules being implemented, also MPs/BBC Executives and numerous big businesses taking us taxpayers for every penny they can. Point 2/.Famous people are being outed as possibly being guilty of sexual offences years ago.Point 3/.In addition to this we have followers of various religions all insisting that theirs is the only way. Point 4/. Being heterosexual seems to be old fashioned and almost against "the rules". Point 5/. We bow down in subservience to Europe and consequently we get stuck (at great cost) with terrorists in our prisons and multitudes of unwanted/illegal immigrants all claiming benefits.

The sooner UKIP takes power the better!

Really, or do you read inaccurate stories about Elf'n'Safety written by the likes of Richard Littlejohn? Ask a steelworker about Health and Safety regulations.

I'm confused how this can be part of point 1; MP's, BBC execs and "numerous big businesses" are strange bedfollows let alone with H&S regs. I take it that you believe MP's are paid too much and/or claim too much in expenses, BBC execs are overpaid and some companies either pay their staff too much or overcharge for products and services. I'm afraid to say that this all comes under the heading of "No st Sherlock".

Is this a complaint? If so is your complaint that the statute of limitations is too long or that famous people are being investigated?

What on earth do you expect? That's their job; the Chief Rabbi is hardly about to stand up and declare that the Pope had it right all along is he?

Hogwash. Society is more tolerant of homosexuality now than it used to be, though treatment under the law is still unequal.

By Europe do you mean the EU, the other countries in Europe or the ECHR? Do bear in mind that a lot of the time blaming "Europe" is an easy line for a UK politician to take because the hard-of-thinking will lap it up.

If you say so, though I suspect you'll be waiting a while and your utopian dreams longer still.

Point 1/. I don't need to ask a steelworker, I worked in local Government for 43 years.
Point 1/. Continued:- I was referring to big payouts for BBC Execs and big business tax evasion.Whether it comes under the heading of "No st sherlock" or not doesn't alter the fact that it is wrong.
Point 2/. Of course sexual offences are wrong no matter who or when is involved. It just seems to add to the general degeneration of English crime levels.
Point 3/. As someone who is not in the slightest bit religeous I would just prefer that all these purveyors of fairy stories discuss it in their own circles and don't bore me with it.
Point 4/. On this point it will have to suffice for me to say that just like you I have an opinion regarding homosexuality. Mine, I would be fairly sure is somewhat different to yours.
Point 5/. ECHR for terrorists, EU as in Brussels to cover the other points. There you go, wasn't too difficult was it?
