LOL, soooo thousands? What's your point? Who said it was overwhelming, I said all the noise is being made by supporters, not him. For those that seem to think the man himself has not taken this on the chin like a man.
-
Very true and I think it's worth pointing out that the man himself isn't pleading for everyone's sympathy. The noise around this is being made by thousands of civilians, marines, soldiers and other servicemen! Just look at the sea of green. The naivety of the politicians and Left who believe this sort of thing isn't part and parcel of every conflict they fight in, whether the battlefield be Europe, the Falklands or the Iranian embassy in London 1980. The public are delusional to these facts, the politicians verbally sanitise war so as to more easily justify their policies and for a long ti

You don't honestly agree with him being jailed surely ?He's a convicted murderer, jail sounds like the right place for him hes hardly a murderer for killing a enemy in war more of hero in my eyes just remember it's folk like him who keep us safe after allHe's a murderer in the eyes of the law and at the end of the day that's what counts.What counts is the man left his wife and kids at home to go to a hostile country to fight so that people such as yourself don't have to leave their wife and kids and you can sleep safely at night .........I reckon being a murderer in the eyes of law counts for

The Geneva convention does not differentiate between treatment of signatories or none signatories, the difference is combatants and none combatants and terrorists are not classed as combatants unless a Government refers to the conflict as a war. As a signatory to the Geneva Convention Britain is bound by it and as the breach was filmed and produced as evidence it was not possible to refute the charge, Really? Article 2... "The Conventions apply to a signatory nation even if the opposing nation is not a signatory, but only if the opposing nation "accepts and applies the provisions" of the

He hasn't got three years, he's done three years, of an eight year sentence which was originally ten years but reduced on appeal. The man has been shit on. And just to put a few more things straight, Sgt blackman didn't film it, another marine had a helmet cam from which the footage was found on a laptop sometime later and handed to police. Not smart but it wasn't him that was responsible for filming it.
-
The Geneva convention WAS NOT broken because the taliban are not signatories. It wasn't even brought up in his trial to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure he was prosecuted for acting outside of our f***ing ridiculous rules of engagement and therefore illegally.

Got a set of Grabber AT on my FL2. Similar requirements to you and they are doing just fine. Seems to be a very popular AT at the moment.

That's the sort of stuff I like to read! I'd be utterly made up with either of those stags.

My bitch terrier is a c**t for it. Badger shit usually.

I'm a long way from enjoying my job but I'm not sure the grass is any greener so stick with it. Mondays can be f***ing hard work and by Monday I mean Monday to Thursday! LOL

Very little detail anf actual fact in that report, it's almost laughable.. The biggest ever nuke detonated was a Russian device called the Tsar Bomba and it was far too large to be deployed in a real world situation. I'm guessing that new missile is a MIRV configured with multiple warheads. It might well carry enough of them to devastate on a countrywide scale, but then so would a salvo of trident missiles from a UK or US sub. It's liberal reporting I think! I think the combined yield is around 50Mt from around 10 MIRVs which is obviously a more efficient way of spreading that destructiv

Nice read that and something I keep saying I will do but haven't yet. Please do post more of you stuff from the other side of the Atlantic too.

Hawks I think. A small training jet.

The Typhoons covering the North are based at Lossiemouth but I think there are Tonkas there too. Every Typhoon I've ever seen has been in the clouds whereas most Tonkas fly just above your roof, lol, and in pairs making a hell of a racket. Dunno if that helps ya. Yeah the Harrier went ages ago but it was based just south of me in my youth so saw it a bit. Just read that recently our Typhoons have been training with our Destroyers in a maritime role so maybe he was up there to assist with the Russians. Feck knows.
-
When I lived in Linc's I would see Tornadoes, AWACS, Herc's, Red Arrows and Vulcan regularly and the odd Harrier and F-15 but the Typhoons are just a little out the way and I'm not there daily anyway. Just unusual seeing a Typhoon in that area. I often wonder why our jets don't have an anti shipping role seeing as we only have a poxy 19 surface combatant ships. Be a five minute job for them flattening the ageing Russian Northern Fleet. LOL
-
LOL, they could open up whatever they want on those old tin cans, one of our Destroyer escorts is capable of handling it. They do mock attack runs on NATO ships too. It's something like that that would start a hot war. Wonder if it was a coincidence that I saw a Typhoon doing acrobatics over the skies of Lincolnshire yesterday evening. Not a common sight where I was and it made me wonder.

I'm not a big fan of the loose application of 'common sense' to science, especially when the same assertion has been shown to be false in other cases. I didn't want to get into a debate on this really, the thread seemed more about history than politics. Just can't help myself but pick up on statements like 'humans haven't sustainably hunted anything'.
-
Oh without a doubt but I would say commercial hunting has a massive impact on whale population due to their gestation period and low birth numbers. I'm not so sure. I'm not an expert so please show otherwise but doesn't accidental catch by commercial fisherman and ship collisions kill far more than hunting? Yes they do but I would say these are a necessity, I don't think whaling is. I'm sure hunting isn't quite as severe these days as past times but a whale is not a hare or a grouse and can't bounce back like these animals can IMO. But they are doing while be hunted in a regulated

I would say there are tons of examples of sustainable harvesting, the number one cause of population declines isn't a lack of human ability to self regulate harvests, it's a lack of human ability to not destroy ecosystems that game species are dependent on. Studies have shown that on keepered estates 69% of Brown Hares can be culled/harvested annually and often are, sustainably, yet nationally the Brown Hare has seen significant decline over the decades of rising intensive farming. Likewise with Grouse and English Partridge. It's not an inability to sustainably harvest game, it's our inability
-
Of course most shooting estates operate on and with modern agriculture, the point I'm making is that there are many examples of sustainable hunting. Intesively farmed, heavily managed, it makes little difference to my point that critical habitat destruction is THE number one cause of population reduction. Modern hunting practices are not generally the cause and in fact are shown very often to counter these effects. The hunting interests of hunting and shooting estates mitigate the ecological damage that intensive farming and human population growth have had in the UK since the war and as I sai

Not while I was there you wouldn't, I would literally beat your ass haha. I'm a right two faced cnut, I love hunting most animals but there's some that's way off the chart for me. If I saw somebody killing a tiger I honestly say I could shoot them and I wouldn't feel no remorse whatsoever. Be a short trip and at best a long swim for you then. Fancy going whaling and trying to harm anybody that actually hunted a whale!
-
That game rack looks smart as! Cracking setup for small days shooting and what not. I'm bizarrely more taken with that game rack than the roof box. The box is smart too.

Fascinating industry. Be a great experience, personally. Hunting Life Whaling trip 2017? LOL
