The UK government's human rights committee discussed the ownership of shopping centres in the context of legal protest.

I do not think actually the proper distinction is whether this was formerly publicly owned and now become private or not, I think the distinction to be made is whether this is perceived as community space.

But the elephant in the room is that we (here in the UK) don't pay anything for consultations, hospital accommodation or treatment (over and above what we've already paid in general taxes). Nor do we have to find or negotiate with an insurance company. In fact we generally never see the bill.

According to this indicative - but fixed rate - price list, the lower end of the range for coronary angioplasty in the UK is £8800, which is about $14,000 so it's certainly in the same ball park as your bill for heat stroke.

There are no circumstances whatsoever in which it is acceptable to wantonly assassinate a citizen of the United States.

But anybody else is fair game ?

The universe hiding its secrets again...

people with talent and an ability to communicate get jobs.

When there are jobs.

> I am not saying I am better than anybody else Yes you are.

No, it's the American economy. Obama might represent it, but he didn't design it.

And you are willing to pay extra taxes to subsidize your less lucky peers ? A nationwide problem is your problem too. Ah, I forget, you happily admit to gloating. Sorry, what was the national deficit again ?

Waiting for a case where the wife or significant other finds the device and disabled it, then the car is stolen.

Roundabouts (or rotaries, or traffic circles, as they're known in parts of the U.S.)

Roundabouts are not rotaries or traffic circles. As the story says, 'the first *British style* roundabout appeared in the US in 1990.

No the problem's not delivery, that's well understood. The problems's relationships with suppliers, which for groceries is essentially farmers. In the UK, as several people have mentioned, all the big supermarkets do home delivery. And they all have close supplier relationships. To keep prices down they prefer to deal directly. See for example http://www.tescofarming.com/ There might be space for another one, but the competition's fierce - here's a selection of major chains which already have fully debugged delivery chains: http://www.tesco.com/groceries http://groceries.asda.com/ http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries http://www.ocado.com/webshop (Note that Asda is owned by WalMart and that WalMart and Tesco are the first and second most profitable retailers in the *world* measured by profits.)

But the story, if you chose to read it, would tell you that the research was conducted by a British university and the devices they monitored were in fact lifts. And to be pedantic, American is the regional dialect.

I think you may be missing the point. Suicide is legal in the UK; assisting suicide is not, for the fairly obvious reason that a murderous relative could claim that 'they asked me to do it.' The police choose not to prosecute on occasion and that is a subtlety some people dislike. They would like to know exactly when it's okay to help somebody to die. As it stands the police and the courts will always ask questions; there is no exact formula for 'assisting' being legal. Generally though a doctor will increase the opiates as they are more and more tolerated, until they reach a lethal dose. It's possibly unfortunate that the people demanding clarity are destroying flexibility.
