I agree mate,give them a routine and a boss and they get a happy life.

If some scrote wants a bit of status why not buy a beagle, perfectly nice dogs who won't eat the face off a child or savage another dog. But then again by burden a beagle with a scrote family.

Thats all beagles banned now then eh?

Any other nice breeds that don't and have never attacked?

Just keep dogs on a lead in public areas. It's not cruel as extending leads will give them plenty of leeway, yet they can still be reigned in when required. As an earlier poster stated, dogs are pack animals and in need of a controller, whether that be a canine pack leader or instead, a human, yet dogs will readily accept this arrangement.
And please don't take dogs out for their exercise at the height of this heatwave. They are as likely to become even more frazzled than us in conditions like these, so please restrict walkies to early morning or late evening until the weather breaks.

That's far too sensible advice ;).

You also will have the "I am such a great owner, I can walk my dog off a lead" brigade saying that it is not needed to have them on a lead when in public.

Many dogs are that good though, many German shepherds/belgian malinois don't even need training to do it, nothing will make them leave heel unless ordered to by their master.

Even if a cat was sat on a juicy platter in front of my dog if i don't give the nod he won't move.
However on walkways and paths i will have him on a lead just to settle any other people walking bye's nerves.

Many breeds need to go for a proper run, a bulldog your ok but a border collie ?

Live round the corner from the attack, must go round and sign the book of condolence. In all seriousness all these Staffie type dogs should be put down, they are ticking timebombs even under the so called control of their owners.

that's from someone who obviously doesn't understand the breed

Staffies are lovely dogs, they are trained to be vicious..

I take it from that, that you mean that there are certain dogs that no matter what will never attack? If you are saying that then you are mad.

And this is from someone who looks after these when my mate goes on holiday.

I love dogs but people with the big or so called dangerous ones need to understand that they can scare the fuck out of people with small dogs or kids. They don't know if you're a responsible dog owner or a scroat.

I am pretty sure mine wont, he has been attacked a few times by flea bitten mongrels and never been aggressive back (in fact he hides behind me for protection.
You can never be sure but that would depend on the provocation. He is more than capable of defending himself, physically but knows not to.
