Oh of course! The ID Cards did the Spanish a lot of good in Madrid, and the Terrorism Acts stopped the 7/7 bomings from ever happening...

No, but it probably helped stop a lot more happening that we may never know about, if it stops 1 in 10 and it’s saved innocent lives then I’m in. It will also help reduce mass anti social behavior sweeping the nation, help control perverts and generally help to make life a bit more bearable for Joe blogs and their 2.1 kids. Edit - anyway I've sent us off topic and there is a thread about this else where so we'll beg to differ....

It could work, it strikes me as odd that we've just had a layer of management stripped away, and everything is running as smoothly as it did before...Indeed it may even be running better as you don't have to pass requests up and then wait for them to be passed up further...

Pointless lists
& the meetings to discuss making those lists, the lists, amendments to the lists & why we can't afford to do what's on the list.
