    Reuters seems to challenge that... https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-drones-gatwick/drones-ground-flights-at-london-gatwick-sowing-chaos-for-christmas-travellers-idUKKCN1OI2TP

    I think we'll start to see dedicated systems for exactly this. Out in the desert the military can just use something savage like a phalanx or other CIWS but I think drones are becoming a serious domestic concern as potential terrorist weapons, not just kids being wankers. How much has this closure cost the economy? Someone will be doing that assessment! I don't think it would take a very powerful energy weapon (relative to what the military are experimenting with) to defend against these civilian drones. Low power would probably be essential as a safety measure incase the system tries to

    Crazy shit. I wonder if you could trust one of these new directed energy (laser) air defence weapons to defend against these threats? A low power version would probably be enough and minimise risk. That, and of course some serious prison sentences.

    Not sure you can have someone for poaching if they're not actually 'catching' the wild bird... At best it's some sort of damage or interruption of a legal activity? I doubt it's even criminal.

    I like the stamp of those lakelands.

    For the table duck knocks spots off of pheasant imo. I've got a fridge full of mallard now. And the thighs are 100% worth the effort. Up there with venison for best wild meat imo.

    What was his motivation? You aren't allowed to sell wild game meat over there so no incentive for it there and surely no one is that hell bent of wall hangers to plan to kill hundreds. Half a dozen perhaps. I can only think he was selling to taxidermists?

    Make a nice shillelagh if not!

    If he feels at all like I do towards fieldsports then I can't believe for a second he'd just jack it all in for her. I can believe that he's having to be a bit 'considerate' but I'd say it's largely gossip.

    Christmas is about being in the outdoors, food, drink, festivities, traditions. It’s a cool time of year. Even cooler if you have big family get togethers and manage to not turn it excessively expensive and consumer-ified.

    Lovely looking shoot mate. Nice to see a broad spectrum of ages in attendance too.

    Fair one. The rest of the site looked good, so maybe I'm being a bit unfair.

    If ya can delay your Xmas NYC experience there are good deals to be had in Jan. If I wasn't away a fair bit first half on 2019 then I'd have booked 3 night get away myself.
  15. Born Hunter
    Yeah, which brings me onto this.... It's risky as f**k if there's a strong chance of a GE in that time! She's probably not the leader you want when the country is going to the ballot. Shit or bust move.
  16. Born Hunter
    If she does, are they then stuck with her for 12 months? I heard something yesterday about only being able to hold a no confidence vote one in 12 months.....

    Agreed. I keep talking about watching the whole lot burn down because that's the attitude an underdog needs. And we are the underdog in a head to head with the EU. They dwarf us and they know it. All that becomes problematic though when you consider how tiny our majority is in the referendum. I'll bet my house only a minority would be willing to sacrifice for our sovereignty, for a hard brexit. And if we speculate that the only choice is hard brexit or staying in we're faced with the reality that the majority probably wouldn't vote for brexit. A lot of folks thought a deal was possible.

    I don't think she was hardline at all, frankly she was a bit f***ing weak in her views before the referendum. She was a remainer but largely unvocal, which imo is the only reason she stood a chance of getting the top job. She played it safe. I agree it's all a pantomime. i just don't agree there's a compromise to be had. Our respective position are irreconcilable. There's no middle ground. We had to be bold, we had to be willing to harm ourselves and to f**k with the consequences, that was the only option.
  19. Born Hunter
    I don't think that's a play, Max, I believe it. There's no truly good 'deal' to be had, our respective positions do not have common ground. The only 'deal' possible is a pragmatic divorce to ensure no loose ends. Two years ago I was sceptical with all the brexiteer talk of "They'll change their tune and want a deal with us, too much for them to lose!" and now I firmly believe it was bollocks. We had and have to be utterly uncompromising and willing to cut our own f***ing legs off to regain our freedom, anything else will be taken advantage of. I honestly think the "good trade deal" i

    Let's have another referendum then, clearly actually leaving the EU and regaining sovereignty is impossible, so the best option is to stay in. Is that really where we're at? The possibility of a 'hard' brexit is entirely down to how well the government sell it. This one hasn't even tried so of course it wont pass parliament, all along they've carried on like a deal is even possible. The 'deal' we have now is the worst parts of everything, we're still bound by the EU but without a voice in it.

    Had a bit of a gander of their site.... WTF? What is it with deer and snobbery....

    https://www.shootinguk.co.uk/answers/is-this-the-best-way-of-dogging-in-95285 I knew I had read an article on this somewhere.

    I've not heard that at all personally. The socialists will vote for Labour because they're terrified of the evil Tories and the conservatives will vote Tory because they're terrified of Corbyn. The extreme left will probably go for Corbyn. The extreme right will probably not go Tory and then there's a bit of middle ground to play for but personally I think the Tories are more centrist than Labour so have the benefit there. I no longer give a f**k. I hope the whole lot crashes into oblivion! I hope the FTSE tanks, the pound tanks and the housing market tanks and everyone fucks o

    If we fully return to our fear based voting, like we did in the last referendum, then I think the Tories will still edge it. Can't see anyone having a landslide. I think more folks are scared of Socialist Labour than are scared of centrist Tory. A hard economic Tory leader would possibly swing that in Labours favour (entirely based on my 'fear' thinking). But f**k knows. May's government has torn their voter base to pieces through this.
