    Probably wrong yes. We’ve still got overseas territories in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans as well as the Caribbean and the Med’.

    I don’t really care to get involved in the Arab/Jew hating shit but to say that Israel are only capable of killing civies is a bit ignorant of history. IIRC the first Israel Lebanon war was the most significant air war of the modern jet fighter era and was such a decisive Israeli victory the soviets had to send a team to investigate why their kit was so utterly dominated by western kit. There’s heaps of examples of Israel hitting regional military peers.

    They are. But I'd buy one from an EU country given you're in one. Buying from the UK you're paying two lots of duty effectively.

    Glad to hear it mate. It’d have been perfect for the goat hunting you used to do.

    Vorn Lynx mate. When you were asking about rifle slings a while back I think I suggested one to you. One of my most highly rated bits of kit. Rifle securely held on my back and when I need it a quick release has it loose and in my hands in about two seconds flat. I'll shoot prone or seated with it as a rest too as the frame built into it is rigid enough.

    I've had similar experience with other quarry and livestock and heard tales of the same. Either shots wouldn't have been taken because of thermal or worse, shots would have. Thermal NV combo certainly has benefits.

    You mean to say you don't turn up to a 200 bird day in an RR, tweed clad and sporting a mossy 500 drainpipe?

    If you’re a license holder in the uk then you can get a temporary license over there easily. If anyone was serious about the job then I’d be taking NV with me and buying a cheap semi auto rim fire. It’d be absolute murder and the easiest and most profitable way of going about it. The logistics of getting animals in would be a nightmare for a temporary thing. In fact, f**k it, just take your own guns if you were to be a license holder and enjoy everything out there.

    Slow cooked shoulder of a sika stag. Shredded the meat and reduced the liquid into a bbq sauce and mixed the meat back in. Genuinely feel that this is the equal of a pork or beef based equivalent. Curious to see how roe or fallow compares. Previous attempts were to a different recipe...

    If we want to talk about power projection then it's noteworthy that last year the UK climbed the GDP world ranking ladder back to fifth place, we have returned to the premier league of military power projection and we retain our 3rd place soft power ranking. Countries f****d clearly, oh to be a cog in the mighty empire...

    So let me get this straight. The UK produces a vaccine at like $4 a shot in the same time frame that everyone else did who are paying factors more for their home grown vaccines per shot but the UK is shit because the bigger economies naturally got better deals on our vaccine. LOL Of course funding in an emergency is dominated by government funding.... It's not an emergency anymore and private industry is now up and running with it. Well, until the world bins IP rights.

    You said we'd fall in line as we were dictated to because we had no option to do otherwise. It was demonstrably nonsense. Since May's departure the history of UK/EU relations has been one of not doing what the EU wants us to. Pretending that we are still under their thumb seems like remainer denial. Totally agree they are politically and economically generally our superior..... Superiority does not equal dominance or supremacy. There's no actual Brexit deal that would have resulted in your approval so I just take that as granted. A perfect deal was never going to happen given the

    But they're not considered a super power. They're considered a prospective super power due to their lack of true unity and lack of supreme military command. There's still only one established super power.

    Ah yeah, the EU have us exactly where they want us! Five years ago they had a meeting and decided that they were going to get us to unilaterally leave the club and then not dance to their tune while negotiating our new relationship.

    Depends what you're asking exactly. If Argentina invaded the islands again then frankly the boyscouts could kick them out, their military is in a shit state whereas ours has updated pretty much the full spectrum of capabilities. It'd be much more of a serious situation facing off an enemy with comparable kit to ours like they did in 82. Many factors to consider, not least of all the diplomatic aspect of being taken for a soft touch post brexit if we did nothing substantial.

    I've got to be honest, I don't pay them all that much attention day to day. Cummings did seem to be a bit savvy and quite powerful really. I dunno as the buffoon thing is so much an act as just his character and is something that happens to work for him. I don't think he's an idiot or putting it on, but it works. For starters I think the electorate find it refreshing after years of polished political tacticians but I also think it's quite, I don't know what the word is, disarming maybe, in a debate. What I mean is, when he's faced with a passionate and abusive attack, he responds with a f

    I think Johnson walks a fine line. He knows that the Englishman on the street wants Brexit, St Georges day etc basically to feel patriotic again after years of all that 'other' way of thinking that just so happens to be what the EU are all about. And he's giving a bit of that 'feeling' more than anyone that has come before him in recent history. But at the same time he knows he can't just go to war with the PC globalist woke mob. They're significantly embedded throughout the establishment and we only have to look at Trump for where that gets you. He's not an appeaser, as you say he d

    I reckon they were all brave as f**k until they saw what Macron sent to back them up "ah la laaa, vi are ze briteesh sheeps zo much bigerrr!"

    It's already blowing over.
  20. Born Hunter
    That's how things stand now I'd say, any mention of war would flip that. We're doing alright so far and they're not hence the never ending shit they keep throwing. Besides, as Wilf said, we love it really! And we have Bozza at the helm, the most clinical and lethal tactician the country has ever seen.... f**k me dead!
  21. Born Hunter
    Be a bit strong for me, personally. You've got to give them a way out, otherwise you'll just escalate. Politicians say stupid shit and it's probably better to laugh at them in these instances rather than react. Problem with "act of war" is exactly what do you do in response? The French cut the leccy off, refuse to turn it back on and given we are now at 'war' we do what exactly? Bomb their power stations? Order 3 commando to storm their shores? Blockade their ports and establish a no fly zone over their skies? Even in the event they do cut the leccy off, economic sanctions and UN act

    I mean, it'll not do their image much good sending a 100 ton patrol boat to face off two 2'000 ton OPVs but gold star for effort like. LOL This bit made me laugh.

    My general opinion of politicians is that they are by far and large opportunists. I reckon the French/EU have jumped on something that the crapauds (apparently the name for a resident of Jersey ) didn't think would be a big deal. I just think that if this bit of admin was ordered by the UK then it wouldn't only be affecting Jersey? It quite possibly fits the EU agenda with what's going on in Ireland but like I said, I'm not very clued up on that.
  24. Born Hunter
    I believe that there would have been much consultation while writing the brexit deal but how the new rules are implemented is down to whichever government has jurisdiction, and in the case of the channel islands I believe it's their own island governments. Tbh mate, my first suspicion was that it's another convenient distraction for the French and the EU governments from their disastrous vaccination rollout. I'm probably not very up to speed with what's going on in Ireland.
  25. Born Hunter
    I'm not sure that this is a UK Gov' responsibility though. Anyone? The channel Islands are Crown Dependencies and as such are responsible for much of their own governance. From the little details there are on this it sounds like Jersey themselves are the ones playing with red tape, rightly or wrongly.... on the face of it it seems fair at this point.
