@Lauren Shocking statistics. I know here domestic abuse is considered something shameful and to hide away. I think the police and the courts have to be more proactive and at the first signs action has to be taken'
I read a great book written by a kid who grew up in Dundee with a drunken abusive father and how he coped with it and is now married with his own children and happy'
His mother eventually left and the father had a succession of girlfriends . One had her own flat nearby but she kept coming and staying with him to be physically abused. I had to shake my head at that. What is it that makes women stay with abusive men when they have an easy escape route ? Conditioning, insecurity, loneliness ?

The author equates Moses to a modern day cult leader and if you study the old testament his actions certainly bear this out. He had total control over the tribe and through "god" he kept that absolute for the supposed forty years. Only when he died and Joshua take over did the tribe move on.

@RonWilliam53 I cannot recall a case of a young black woman being abducted and murdered. The two high profile cases I can remember are Milly Dowler and Susie Lamplugh. Although two suspects are in prison convicted of other crimes no one has been convicted for their murders.
OAP's are more likely to be murdered in their homes and they do make the tabloid headlines but only briefly.

@Castlepaloma Hospital admissions in the UK have fallen dramatically particularly in the over 70's since the vaccination programme started so it certainly stops serious illness. Whether it protects for any length of time we will just have to wait and see.
If we could stop selfish people travelling around the world spreading new variants it would help.
Three oil workers flew from Brazil to Aberdeen via Paris and London and subsequently fell ill with the Brazilian variant. Fortunately it has been contained, for the moment.

@FrayedBear On the contrary it is going to cost us,the taxpayer, much more to remedy the situation than if proper regulation had been carried out at the time. The govt. has just awarded another £3.5 billion to help remove the defective panels. There are at least three guilty parties here. The regulatory authority, the builders, and the makers and sellers of the panels. They should all be held to account.

@girlwithsmiles There are quite a few moving up from the south now that working from home is becoming more popular. I live in a small village in the Cairngorms national park and English accents are very common here.
The two things I miss about England are the warmer weather and village pubs but the crowded roads and restriction of access on private land you can keep.

I am am an admirer of de Bernieres as a writer and particularly liked "Birds without wings" but to say that there is antipathy towards English people in Scotland is absolute nonsense. Unfortunately this has now been spread widely on social media and it is being picked up by unionists here and British/English nationalists in England.
There always has been a few idiots on either side of the border but I have many English friends both here and in England from my time working in London,Hampshire and Bristol and none of them have had any experience of this.
