F*ing ' honour killings' in the news again ; The political and legal Establishment need to make it 100% clear that such barborously evil practises are NOT , and never will be acceptable in the
UK , sending the perpatators to prison for the rest of their lives . I hope I'm wrong in suspecting that  the 'political correctness' of grovelling round 'ethnic minorities' will ensure their being quietly released after 4 - 5 years .
For anyone who's not yet heard of this it concerns a girl of 20 being murdered by her Father and Uncle simply because she had a boyfriend who they had not chosen for her .
(Of course plenty of premeditated wholly inexcusable vile crimes are committed by indigenous UK citizens , who should be treated  harshly too . And , I know that anyone can change , but if it's a crime that's supposedly sanctioned by someones religion/culture then they are probably unlikely to feel genuine remorse , if they truly deludedly believe that their evil , sadistic actions are somehow morally justifiable , which is why our society needs to make it very , very clear  that such barbaracy will Not , Not Ever be tolerable here . )

Why do some cd players simply refuse to play some discs even if they are virgin brand-new , though they'll play most others , even if with lots of smudgy marks on them ?
