    My preferred style would be a self governing nation of indigenous people with a shared culture and history, governed in the interest of that nation with respect to all its history and a clear sense of who and what it is, minimal interference in peoples life, a nation where everything is legal unless it is specifically illegal, a nation not for sale to every Tom, Dick and Harry that understand the difference between what’s of value and what can be traded.

    Maybe Greenland would suit you mate.

    Good work mate 7 is a good day that doesn't look like the easiest hedge to do!

    If it wasn't for the bloody pig wire be a lot easier. Managed to reach in and get the runs just behind the wire. Caught most in them, I do like run nets.

    I know how you feel mate I was feeling it a bit.....it's not easy work with all the gear and digging amongst the hedge🙈 normally have the police out to us on this road get reported as hare coursers🙈 yeah this is a good spot as its the main road in or out of the village so a lot of farmers driving up and down they always stop for a chat and ask how we getting on👌 this farmer lost a lot of barley to these rabbits so he's happy with the result......got to try and get a couple days on the other side of the road before the seasons out as it's just as bad🙈

    Funny you say about the Police, today one of their helicopter's few over did a circle over us. Thought here we go but no cars turned up.

    Surprising how much rabbits eat. Think I have been told six rabbits eat as much as a sheep. I took 156 rabbits of a very small farm one year and he reckoned he doubled the hay harvest the following autumn.

    Well done Moochers. If we had caught 16 I would be more f****d than I am now. I'm proper knackered after today.

    Picked up permissions ourselves when doing road hedges. Somebody nearly always stops and have a chat with the guy in the road.  

    I ask my mate he's got that Links on again after they have gone Lol.

    Did the rest of that road hedge today, just short of 200 yds. Hard one just two handed, bit of running up and down with a couple of them slipping up and down on top of the hedge. Managed to  get seven. I know theres only four in the photo but you will have to take my word there were three out the other side. Thought we were laid up but manage to climb over the wire reach in and pull one out with the ferret as well, result. Don't think we left any or missed any, not bad as it's a thick old hedge. Ferret was good as gold just gave her a little call and she came walking out, makes it easy on a hedge like that

    £5 each! Good money that, maybe I should start selling them rather than feeding them to the ferrets. Who’s paying you £5? Not a butcher surely?

    It's a chap that used to ferret and loves eatting rabbits. He ask for about 15 a year to freeze. I told him £3 but he insisted on a £5 each. To top that last week came out with a 15' foot Mk1 collar and a spare cap and just gave it to us. Result.

    Butcher only gives £2.50 and pubs £3.
