  1. I love this line... Last year, The Mail on Sunday reported that the RSPCA had spent £22.5 million on prosecutions in two years, and had been obliged to take out an overdraft facility with its bank, Coutts, for the first time in its 190-year history. Their money is drying up.
  2. Not to mention that the worlds entire media is owned by less than a dozen corporations.
  3. Political exhaustion? Or apathy? The exhausted are emmigrating. In record numbers. The rest are watching TV with their fingers in their ears going... "La La La La La La La... I can't hear you!"
  4. DJ Neil Fox charged with nine sex offences
  5. UKIP f****d up because they're inexperienced. They don't know how to play the game as well as the others. If he keeps changing his team out they'll never have the chance to be taken seriously. And you can tell they're being taken seriously by the sheer time and effort from the media in destroying any credibility they may have. Next question is if they manage to play the game, will they change the rules or keep the status quo?
  6. I'd love to see that kind of variation. Through my career I only saw rats that were shit brown.
  7. BH, could you honestly see today's kids even wanting to figure it out? I can't unless someone creates an app where you can smash David Cameron in the testicles.
  8. The problem I see is that this system supports only two parties. At least on a national level. The propaganda machine will quickly demonize an emerging party as soon as it looks like it could be a legitimate threat. Look what they've done with UKIP. The fact that UKIP keeping f***ing shit up just makes it easier for them. But what does anyone expect from a new party? Any new way of doing things has to get past the old school. Too far right and you're a nazi. Too far left and you're a soviet. The spin machine oils it's gears and crushes anything that might be of benefit in favour of the
  9. Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 covers Ratty
  10. Both. They're still a public health nuisance.

    Oh Dear

    Not to mention the commons, the local authorities, the NHS and the MoD. In fact that's not a bad idea!
  12. Do you think that could be down to the last war? I think there's enough people living in the UK that remember fighting nazis, as opposed to electing them.
  13. Geese. They work really well and there is no dangerous geese act.
  14. Like reading the threads on Hancock lurchers?
  15. Rattus rattus tends to keep himself confined to the dockland areas. I've seen them in Liverpool and Canary Wharf. As Tomo said, you're probably seeing a black coated version of Rattus norvegicus. The major competitor for rat stomping grounds.
  16. If we all take our family trees back to the stump, we wandered out of Africa about 125000 years ago. Give or take a leap year and adjust for bank holidays.
  17. "After a few days Rusty became unwell and lethargic, and his owner then noticed he had lost his testicles. Mr McGettigan said he was distraught when he had discovered what had happened to Rusty." That's one seriously attentive owner!
  18. Absolutely Truther! With these high profile whistleblowers, who's to know what's the truth? We don't. We never will! There's another thread on here about newspapers. We're being pushed an agenda. I'm sure the establishment has more of an incentive to hide this than to open it up. I doubt the truth will be revealed.
  19. News is business. They're in it for the £'s. You want it. They sell it you.
  20. Pink hit the nail on the head. Fun element!
  21. Couldn't agree more. Sexual abuse isn't a new thing it's just suddenly slapping us in the face because of 24/7, 365 new coverage. This is indeed the information age and the old school coverups can't happen any more. The internet never forgets. It only takes a split second to leak something and it can't be controlled. That's a powerful incentive for regulatory bodies to try and put the blocks on the internet wouldn't you agree?
  22. If they would have known about it, yeah, but that couldn't happen then. A lot of these offences would have been committed back then. You're right though. No one bats an eyelid because we're all desensitized to it. So where do we go from here?
  23. I dunno Max. 20, 30, 40 years ago this stuff still happened, it just didn't get into the public eye. The fact that they're getting reported and victims aren't scared to come forward is progress in my book.
  24. Bike lights now have to compensate for the light from mobile phone screens.
