  1. I have met lots of immigrants,legal and illegal plus lots of bogus students in UK and other places,the UK needs a total overhaul of the immigration system,a massive shakeup and sacking of innefectual staff,and implementing such policies as no dependants coming to UK with a skilled worker or student visa,they are coming to work or study NOT put down roots and settle.
  2. To be honest I thought you were trying to be clever so I didn’t even look at yours,I just laughed,the same as you did to a post of mine earlier when I mentioned monitoring big cats with thermal drones abroad and paramotors which does actually happen,and has been happening for quite some time.
  3. Conservatives should have focused on the “Boat-people” but let it slide thinking they were safe lol,too little too late.
  4. Mine genuinely ARE real,got a copy of my Indian E-visa on my other phone or I would have posted it up lol
  5. Saw this on the news,imagine having him as your neighbour.
  6. The ones who make the cash are the carehome owners,in the year ending sept 2023 100,000 care worker visas were issued in the UK,those careworkers brought with them 120,000 dependents,the numbers all stack up.

    Snow

    Bit nippy earlier but brilliant sun bouncing off the snow,found a tree-stand.
  8. PSW’s they are called here,public support workers,they can make £40k equivalent here with overtime.
  9. Makes me wonder why the UK was flooded with EU workers when the door was opened,I remember Blair saying he woefully underestimated mass EU immigration in 2004.
  10. Minimum salary threshold for skilled migrant visa,a welcome visa shakeup but it’s just an election sweetener.
  11. Beautiful pics of a stunning bird.Saw LOTS as a kid,and seen cedar waxwing here in Canada.Every year the Sunderland Echo newspaper would announce the arrival of flocks of waxwing at the old railway lines between south Hylton and penshaw,penshaw monument,and Washington wildfowl and as I lived virtually on the lines and walked my dogs along them daily I would see them annually on their migration from Russia.
  12. Interesting they show an Indian tiger in that footage,Thermal and drones have been used for the last five years to track and monitor leopard and tiger populations in parts of india.I also know the WWF use paramotors to monitor due to the ability to fly low and slow with a range far exceeding a drone.

    I feel your pain Bro,this was me en-route to Montreal a few hours ago,got lots of snow forecast.
  14. The gent in the vid saying it’s the first confirmed British leopard was stretching it a bit lol.
  15. Went to the Honda dealership the other day,got winter tires,5 days ago?Flashy place,helpful staff going to Montreal today flat tire???No jack in the boot???Currently wondering where I went wrong in life beside a road that reminds me of of a scene from the film 30 days of night lol
  16. Going to watch this after breakfast,in the first minute the chap said it’s the first confirmed uk black leopard roadkill?

  18. That cheese board looks incredible.
  19. No mate,years ago though I was actually thinking of getting a licence to detect the tidal Thames,I have seen a few people when the tides out eyes only gleaning the exposed mud,I will have a look on YouTube thanks.
  20. I have always had a metal detector mate,and I have been to an area where a small hoard of Celtic was found,but Chris Rudd was quite well known as a buyer of detectorists finds.
  21. Contact Elizabeth cottam she runs Chris Rudd’s since he retired,they specialise in Celtic 01263 735007 liz@celticcoins.com
