Started planting my winter onions; 60 odd snowball onions and 30 odd red onions; Under glass until they get established so the birds don’t pull them up; Cheers. -
Not really, I like some of their policies, such as raising the limit to pay income tax from £12,000 to £20,000 because it hasn’t been raised in line with inflation and “fiscal drag” is meaning more and more of the less well off are being dragged into paying more tax. People say “how would it be paid for ?”, well, a complete moratorium on overseas aid would be a start. I like their views on “Net Zero”, they align perfectly with my view. I like their policy on net zero immigration . As I said in an earlier post, I don’t expect Reform to be a national panacea, but they could h

Sad news on Ricky Hatton…… Cheers.

There was 300,000 lined the streets of Newcastle for the Cup Parade, it was absolutely nowhere near the numbers in London. Cheers.

When 52,000 came out of StJames Park on Saturday , it looked minuscule compared to the crowd in London. Cheers.

A new British Bill of Rights ? Cheers.

I don’t know if they want to limit it, I never said I did ? I was just replying to Jukel comment about the boats. Cheers.

Credible in that Farage and Reform arent straying too far to the right,( or left), that will alienate the “centre ground voters”. too much. It’s an absolute fact that you can’t win a General Election without taking the “ centre ground voters “ with you. This is why Labour are accusing Farage of going “far right” and the Tories are accusing Farage of tacking to the left ! As for Reform becoming the “Tory party”, it does concern me , but I see they are cherry picking who they will take from the Tories, they have refused to accept Suella Braverman, and her husband who had joined Refo

The way I understand it is that the boats, engines, life jackets etc, are manufactured in China, smuggled across porous, corrupt borders like Hungary, then , because of the Schengen, EU open borders agreement , travel to Germany for assembly and storage, then on to Belgium and France for use to cross the Channel. They could be intercepted at the EU border if it weren’t for corruption, or at the German, Belgian, French borders if it wasn’t for the EU’s Schengen Open Borders agreement. So Brexit may have removed the Dublin Agreement, but on the other hand the EU has made it incredibly

Answer to the first part; no, I think stopping the boats will be seen by most people who think about this, as just the start, we also have to understand that far more people who are here illegally aren’t boat people, they are visa overstayers, and they need to be removed. Answer to your second question is you have a far different view of Farage and Reform that I do, and that’s OK, as I’ve said many times; I can respect people’s views without necessarily agreeing with them. You seem to see Reform as just the same as the rest, more of the same; I don’t see them as a National panacea, but I

The old saying “when you are in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging”; comes to mind, so, the first step is stopping the boats by returning the illegal immigrants back to wherever they came from. This would entail leaving the ECHR and removing any elements of it that Blair enshrined into British law. Yes, that would just be a start, but it would stop the “hole” getting any deeper and then we could start working out how we get out of the “hole”. Cheers.

I’ve got a trip planned to Ireland for some hunting shortly, and the grandsons Saudi uncle has invited me over to do some fishing in the Red Sea in the new year, and me and the missus are planning a trip north of the Arctic Circle next December to do some ice fishing and ptarmigan shooting and whatever else we can do , for our 50th wedding anniversary, so I hope the Russians haven’t started WW3 by then, that would spoil my “ last hurrah” ! LOL ! Cheers.

We’ve had friends staying for a few days and last night we were discussing how this is all going to play out. Civil war wasn’t discounted, but it wasn’t white v black or Christian v Muslim, it was generally agreed it would be Right v Left if it did occur. I fear for the future, but I know which side I’ll be on …. And welcome back, been anywhere nice ? Cheers.

According to the left wing media; 110,000. According to independent observers nearer 1,000,000. Cheers.

Yes mate , I’m fine . Had a craic with Jimmy with the little black dogs and his mate the stick maker with the Beddy’s from the Flimby Club. I had a deer/grey qualify for the Cock ‘o the North but the judge seemed keen on the little rabbiting types. Hows little Jacko doing, but I guess he isn’t so little now, is he into the dogs ? Cheers.

Thought I might have bumped into you at Wolsingham over the weekend, there were a few of the Flimby lads there . Cheers.

Ahh….the nostalgia ! All the local pubs had domino handicaps on a Saturday and Sunday morning, very well attended and good prize money. Also had darts and pool handicaps and the whippet lads would all be in there after the racing , arguing who had the best dog and throwing out challenges ! Now it's families with kids out for dinner on a Sunday and everyone watching football on a Saturday, pubs aren’t what they were, well at least for old Luddite’s like me ! Cheers.

While I agree that the Slavs and other East European peoples are not the same ethnically, (if that’s the right word ), as Western Europeans, I worked for 20 years with a Czech and one of my best pals for over 40 years is a Pole, I found I had far more in common with them than the African and Asian friends and colleagues that I have. I count them all as friends, by the way. Just my own personal opinion. Cheers.

You remember a dogs first catch for the rest of your life Cheers.

An excellent game ! I can just about play, albeit very badly! I think it was originally designed as a war strategy game. The words “check mate” are derived from the Persian “ Shah Mort” , literally “ the king is dead” I think it should be taught in school. Cheers.

There’s a lad I know who has had a succession of top class non-ped scratch dogs, all named after comic characters; Lord Snooty, Colonel Clott, Dennis the Menace, Gnasher, etc. He must have liked his comics ! LOL ! Cheers.
