I’ve already said she has a right to know where he is buried, as our astute members would already be aware from reading the previous page. However, this doesn’t extend to stripping others of their human rights through the use of torture and such. If his human rights can be taken away, then they are no longer rights, but privilages given to those whom it is popular to give them to. Same goes for other rights such as freedom of expression, give an inch and you can pretty much kiss the lot of them goodbye.

Whilst I wouldn’t condone torture/execution or anything like that, he should be put in solitary confinement with crap food and constant reminders plastered across his cell walls for what he has done. He is clearly interested in extending the suffering, so he should be prevented from doing so by keeping any information/statements confidential and unpublished, unless a body is actually recovered.

If that would help them, then it’s fine by me. Far be it from me to tell the mother where she may have her dead son buried. Whilst rotting corpse is probably factually correct, it’s a little harsh, though obviously you have a right describe it as you wish.

“I think it’s pretty much a racing certainty.“

It is, but then if that helps them then it should be done. It wouldn’t be an extreme burden, certainly not one the taxpayer would object to I suspect. As I say, it’s not something I can relate to in any way.

@Lincoln 7
It may have moved some distance, but I suspect the police would be willing to dig a very massive ditch if they had a reasonable chance to recover it. What he did is wrong (obviously!), but I don’t think we should lower ourselves to his standards by throwing away his rights. No torture, beatings, nor murder should be acceptable, though I suspect he has probably received a least one from the police, given the timeframe in which he seems to have been prosecuted. From the article it seems he wants to die? In which case no worries!

@Lincoln 7

They may state it, but it may change, and the next government may also change it. Performing well at Rio just isn’t as important as performing well at London, to the government. We’ve no idea what the situation in the economy and government will be past Rio, so that doesn’t matter too much.

I think it’s great that he has done so much to help sport in our country, especially with the Olympics helping out everywhere he can. Whilst he may not have won anything, he’s without a doubt deserving of massive credit.

Was that David Beckham in the closing ceremony?

@D Boyle
The closing ceremony was more a varied entertainment performance, without all the leftist bias, and massive over-representation of minorities and minority cultural aspects of the opening ceremony. It better reflected the country as it actually is, and gave a more honest representation as a result. There was also a bit more comedy in it, the fashion for example…

@Lincoln 7
We probably won’t do as well in Rio, as the funding is unlikely to stay the same.

Wouldn’t it be more useful to just study the thermo and fluid dynamics than look at bits of metal in a turbine? :confused:

HRH Prince Henry (of Wales), is his official title, Prince ‘Harry’ is a nickname, I think when he stands in as the representative of the monarch, then the official title is to be used.
The picture is King Henry btw!

Yes thankyou captain obvious!

and people on here say I have no sense of humour 😀

He’s back!

Makes a change from torquing about Usain Bolt
