A man of limited talents. 😂 Had enough of X and the person I'd become on there. Hoping to be calmer and less sweary on here. Newport County, Wales, politics, health, sport, music. Willing to pontificate on anything. More intolerant as I age. Ex-Nurse.

Is Kate Amess suggesting that all MP's should have 24 hour security paid for by the public purse? On top of the 'donations' MP's received, or the expenses they claim? Is personal safety a higher priority than the various other demands from a limited budget? Or should it be an individual choice?

How about comparing it to the indiscriminate bombing in Gaza and Ukraine, the effect of climate change across the globe (and particularly Africa), the numbers dead in Nepal from the effects on melting ice on mountain peaks, the growing threat of declining harvests and oncoming starvation

So perhaps a bit of context is needed. Compare the numbers of MP's murdered with numbers of babies that die in childbirth as a result of austerity measures, or pensioners dying because the heat/eat conundrum due to low revenue and galloping inflation/profiteering from utilities

...statistically if you take the numbers (three murders in 10 years) it would still take 2167 years to wipe all MP's out and that would rely on the abolition of by-elections. If by-elections remain then MP's will survive indefinitely.

It's about local fiefdoms. They want to take us back to the days of Squires and the poverty and corruption of that system. A progressive party would see how the wind is blowing and looking at federalism in England. But no-one talks about going down that road, though it would be the most equitable

There are multiple disadvantages against him. He's not English, he's intelligent, articulate, witty and he's an actor that has played 'baddie' roles. The others won't trust him (especially on the Welsh Ness). I predict he'll be an early exit and the series will be poorer for it.
