Not surprised at those prices - £95 a ticket for a trip up a scummy

stinking ex-industrial river aka Lee.

So I'm not surprised that the water taxi's gone bust. But I wonder who

was running the company and who the drivers were? I bet they were
greedy speculators out for a quick buck and were not river-folk.

Could it by chance be one of the Heathrow - Central London taxi drivers on
his summer hols?

I genuinely wouldn't have a problem with public executions.

So because I don't have a problem with it I should do it? Should I also
become a butcher too because I eat meat?

I think if you did a poll most people in the UK would be quite happy to
see someone like Ian Huntley or Fred West swing.

One word. Four letters. First letter "J".

If you can't work it out for yourself, then ask somebody else.

Oh all right then. Last letter "E".

Is that any help ?

Have you ever thought of seeking counselling for this deep seated
feeling of resentment and bitterness you feel ? This desire for
vengeance ?

Because without counseling and help of some kind, things are not
going to get any better you know.

And all you can ever realistically hope to achieve is to make those
around you equally miserable. Until that is, they succeed in breaking
the door down and escaping.

A desire to see proper justice done against someone who, for example, murdered
2 little girls ITYF is pretty normal. Its hand wringing feminised bleeding
hearts like you who would see even the most depraved killers treated with
respect who have the deep seated psychological issues but you dress up your
abnormality as "liberalism" to give it some sort of bogus credibility. You
only think you have the majority view because people of your persuation tend
to gravite towards fluffy careers such as the media which then expounds it as
the prevailing zeitgiest. It isn't.
