EU leaders need to ditch the militant aggression act, and the sooner we crack on with Brexit talks, the better
They seem insistent on demanding we settle our 'bill' but it's better to crack on and address the mounting uncertainty
THERESA May’s charm offensive with the citizens of the EU is a smart move given the foolish aggression already from hot-headed leaders on the Continent.
Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and others demand we settle our “bill” before anything else gets sorted.
She is right for now to rise above the bitterness, and keep advertising Britain as the EU’s good-natured friend.
Post-Brexit, we will be open to the world for trade.
Britain should convey a mature, welcoming image from the off.
We understand why Mrs May is not yet taking it further by securing the future of EU citizens already here before Article 50 was served on Wednesday.
But it’s still inconceivable we would strip them of their rights and send them packing.
And the uncertainty is already costing them jobs and mortgages.
The sooner those talks begin, the better.
What a copout
BURGLARY is so common it’s easy to forget how violating and life-changing it is.
So the dismal clear-up rate The Sun has unearthed is a disastrous police failure.
They have given up on it. It’s hard to solve and the penalties for the few villains they do catch are derisory.
One school, burgled repeatedly, has never seen a cop.
Police will moan about staff cuts and all the crime shifting online.
Funny how they still have spare bodies to nail drivers straying over a speed limit.
Or to probe unsubstantiated sex allegations from a lifetime ago.
Or to stop little girls picking roadside daffodils.
Police must refocus on the basics — keeping the public, and their homes, safe.

Tech action
EXACTLY how the tech giants purge their vast websites of terrorist propaganda is no one’s concern but theirs.
They built them. They must fix them, with algorithms or a vast army of new staff.
If not, the Government must legislate and chase them for huge damages.
Their defence — that they’re “not publishers” but ARE champions of free speech — is utterly bogus.
All yesterday’s meeting with the Home Secretary produced was a new “forum” to discuss the issue. It’s too little, too late.
They think they are above laws applied to other publishers. They must be put straight.
Heavy handed
THE health zealots won’t stop, will they?
First they made sugary drinks pricier. Now choccie bars must shrink.
OK, Britain is too porky. But we took in MORE calories and sugar in the past.
We should encourage more exercise . . .
Not force everyone, fat or slim, to pay more for treats.
