It is not given to me to start a threads on politics, I don't believe I have ever contributed to one either.
However I cannot let pass the comment from a conservative councillor currently skiing in the USA who wants the homeless and rough sleepers cleared from the streets of
Windsor before the wedding in May.
God forbid that visitors here to see an obscene and ostentatious picture of wealth and privelage should be confronted by the "have nots" of our society.

I thought Princess Eugenie and her husband to be seemed genuinely happy and very much in love. Good luck to them both. Who knows why some peoples marriages fail, it doesn't make any difference where you come from or who you are. Money and position doesn't make relationships automatically work, any more than relative poverty and insignificance automatically makes them fail.

Well done, Windsor. They really want to make themselves popular.

They have been offered accomodation, and urinating in a public place is illegal, they can use public lavatories, no one wants the front of their property used as loo to be fair

Can't wait for the happy couple to have a guard of homeless ex-servicemen om the day.

I don't like it when a woman brings her dog across the road, and it cocks its leg up against my front wall.
Should I charge her or the dog?

Anniebach Mon 12-Feb-18 18:35:58

Then why approve of a human being doing the same ? Stop the violin Dj, no one wants people to be homeless but thought has to be given to people whose doorsteps the homeless sleep on.

durhamjen Mon 12-Feb-18 19:28:04

Stop being personal, Annie.

Jalima1108 Mon 12-Feb-18 19:31:13

You could keep a bucket of disinfectant water handy djen

Anniebach Mon 12-Feb-18 19:32:19

Stop comparing a human being utinating on a street with a dog

durhamjen Mon 12-Feb-18 19:38:08

For the dog or the woman, jalima?
I bet he doesn't do it over her wall.

Jalima1108 Mon 12-Feb-18 19:45:45

Whoever it manages to catch djen

I thought ( a human) urinating in public was illegal ? hmm

Chewbacca Mon 12-Feb-18 20:55:19

It is illegal for a person to urinate in public:

Public Urination and Sex Offender Registration. Prosecutors occasionally charge defendants
with the crime of indecent exposure or public lewdness. If convicted, these defendants face
the onerous duty of registering as sex offenders, a sentence that will follow them for the rest
of their lives.

However it IS legal if it is “against the rear offside wheel of your vehicle.”
