Should WW2 veteran NHS fundraiser Tom Moore be knighted?Absolutely he should be knighted! What a wonderful gesture of his own initiative that caught the attention of the world -- and at a time when we were all in need of something uplifting. A more worthy candidate for a Knighthood I cannot imagine.ViewDate:

Are Harry and Meghan making the right decision?Totally agree! She is playing 'the role of a lifetime' -- has been since day one. Feel sorry for Harry - and for HM and the members of the Royal Family. Meghan has secured herself a comfortable life -- wonder how long before she 'breaks free' and Harry is left out in the cold??ViewDate:

Will you be sending Christmas cards this year?I will send cards, but most not my mail - for several years I - along with many friends - have used e-cards - You are sure they will be received and less costly - especially as I have many friends/family overseas. I do send a few cards to a few friends who are not familiar with technology. Works well for me and for my friends.ViewDate:

Do you support Boris's decision to suspend Parliament?Totally agree -- the man is a bumbling, dangerous idiot. Not to be trusted on any level. Sooner he is gone the better.ViewDate:

Would you be happy if music were banned from cars?I enjoy music in my car - lifts the mood and is soothing...not to the point of being hypnotic!.....helps reduce the boredom on long drives too. What should be banned is those whose music is an ear-splitting boom boom boom - which surely must be a dangerous distraction - possibly diminishing awareness of approaching Blue Lighters or other potential dangers.ViewDate:

Do you think planning and pre paying for your funeral in advance is a good idea?This is something I am struggling with at this time, having just lost my husband quite suddenly almost a year ago. I used a local undertaker who has an excellent reputation and provided great support - no pressure re 'extras' etc. and everything went very smoothly - could not have asked for a better result. Although I attempted to pay the costs about a week following the funeral - did not receive an invoice for over a month! Now struggling with what and when I should make arrangements for my own demise --- on the one hand prepaying means everything is organized and paid for, so my remaining relatives would not be burdened with arrangements. On the other hand prepaying means a large amount of money that the Undertakers may have for - hopefully - quite a period of time - which is not earning interest in my bank account nor available for my use. Wondering if there is an alternative way that would allow my sister and brother in law in this case to access the necessary funds to cover the costs at the time????ViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?Should not really be a 'choice' - both offer seniors an opportunity to interact and communicate with the world around them. But I would agree that retaining the bus pass might be the choice if required.,ViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?For many seniors the TV is their only source of entertainment and connection with the outside world. The BBC pays many of their staff exorbitant salaries - disgusting to think they would penalize seniors - many of whom struggle to make their meagre incomes stretch to meet day to day necessities of life.ViewDate:

Does the person in the middle seat on a plane have the right to use both armrests?I agree - it is very inconsiderate to recline the seat so far back that it impacts on passengers seated behind - and I think the airline staff should bring this to the offender's attention and request that they adjust the position....if the offending party does not respond being informed that they are causing a problem.ViewDate:

Should the Jeremy Kyle show be dropped?Totally agree with your comments Lorraine - have to wonder at the mentality of people to get involved in that kind of show -- desperate for attention no matter what - no dignity at all.ViewDate:

Does the UK need another political party?Like Cameron did!! -- she inherited a 'poison chalice' left by Cameron who did not want to stick around to deal with the results of his 'promise' -- to ensure his re-election no doubt! Yes - the whole think is a mess! - there should have been a coalition of parties formed to assess the implications involved in leaving and to produce a document addressing these so that the British voting public had an informed basis on which to really decide if they wanted to pursue the option to leave.ViewDate:
