• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

Absolute tragedy. The chances of what actually happened are so remote. The chances of them opening the door with the commotion and the man running in and the gun man following and opening fire with the girl being in the line of the shot is beyond sad.

As the professor says, the government should look at itself.

What the government should look at is the complete and utter farce that is the "war on drugs". Even one of the PM candidates was muttering on about being harder on drug users. It's not a war, it is and always has been a whitewash. What they need to do is have a grown up conversation on it (not listen to what the yanks have to say on it) and then legalise and control them.

They'll never control drug use, making it legal will make things 10 times worse, IMO of course, the drug user will always want more drugs, therefore drug dealers will still be operating.

They'll never control it the way they have been trying for the past 50+ years. So we will keep having people being murdered in cold blood by gangsters who are controlling it. If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting the same results (costing untold lives and millions on pounds along the way).

I don't disagree, but I genuinely think that legalising drugs won't work, I've no idea on what the answer is though.
 
Stop dishing out benefits for those who are capable of working. Make life harder for those who choose not to contribute to society in a positive way.
