APPLAUD our troops and remember the fallen on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, June 29.
"I would see our soldiers thanked more, and with gestures of special discounts from food and retail chains, as done in the States. We British folk need to show our support and be proud."

"I'm a little confused. Isn't this what Remembrance Day is all about. Are we doing this twice a year now?"

"Armed Forces Day remembers and celebrates those who serve as well as remembers the maimed and fallen. Remembrance Day remembers the fallen and is a day for solemnity and reflection. Two very different days."

Road deaths are down overall but the number of children killed is going up according to a council report, Saturday, June 29.
"Maybe the council would like to visit Budgens in Keyworth and look at all the dangerous illegal parking which is near a school where selfish people park on the corner where children cross the road.
"It is only a matter of time before a child gets knocked down because they can't see to cross the road."

"Maybe we should also teach children not to just run across the road without looking, or use crossings instead of being too idle to walk 20 yards to the crossing and just crossing where they feel like it, maybe we should stop them playing chicken."

Council staff are set to be paid a 'living wage' so they can live a 'decent life', Saturday, June 29.
" In this week's spending review George Osborne has pledged to freeze council tax for two more years – not that there's any chance that Jon Collins and Graham Chapman will take him up on the offer.
"Band D council tax in Nottingham is currently £200 above the nationwide average – it's clear Chapman doesn't really care one jot about helping local people and local businesses.
"All he's bothered about is bleeding them dry to fund his profligate spending."

"This is fair enough, by putting the onus on the employer to pay decent wages it should reduce the tax credit bill which subsides poor paying employers"
