  1. Hi folks, I am in need of a new fox SPOTTING torch. I am looking for a torch, not a Lightforce like lamp. It must be LED, and preferably "warm white" as "cool white" washes out colours. Ought to take 18650 batteries. I already have a rifle mounted torch for taking the shot so don't need one of those. I'm too tight to buy IR or Thermal - despite their advantages. Have other projects that must be done with that money. It doesn't need to have different colours. Variable light levels would be an advantage. My former spotter was a Thrunite TN31 modified by a Pastor fro
  2. Ye guys do a great service to the rest of us, ye keep us laughing ????? https://youtu.be/v-xLmI352vE
  3. Ah they are elected, just by either representatives or govts, I forget which exactly. Place would be a horror story if people had a vote on everything, homeless people would be 100x because everyone would vote not to pay tax, be no services, no funding for anything and a public execution after a kangaroo court on every corner each week. People really are selfish c**ts, I wouldn't want to govern. Who'd want that f***ing headache. The EU is good for me, it's a stick I can use to beat my own govt with if I need to. Someone once said about democracy that it's the least worst system
  4. Sure don't pay the 39bn, then ye'll be seen as unreliable in international agreements. No one can force ye to do anything, don't see why knickers are so twisted over it.
  5. Was just going to post along jiggys lines, good luck with it.
  6. If you could lay down the megaphone of innacuracy there for a second we can corect a couple of things. First, in the Lisbon treaty there were some concerns over things like a European army and abortion. The referendum went ahead and was defeated. Afterwards there was debate here, from which the Govt. consulted with the EU and outs and assurances were agreed on the above issues. Another referendum was held which passed. That's mature, grown up democracy. There was no strong arming as you put it. Secondly, in most if not all treaties "ever closer union" is mentioned - from before
  7. I think you'll find quite a number of people in the EU think the end of March can't come quick enough.
  8. Or in lay mans terms the EU didn't give the UK it's cake & unicorns so the brexshitter narrative is all & sundry are bullying the UK rather than reality which is that the UK is hopelessly divided, doesn't know what it wants, had negotiators that would be humiliated on Tipping Point, and started off by further weakening it's own position with a general election, red lines, and generally proving itself untrustworthy and incompetent - publicly. Just wait until ye go negotiating trade with the USA, China etc, then you will have something to whine about.
  9. Yes, a deal the EU have ruled out repeating. Where's the confusion?
  10. Because it was overly complicated and time consuming compared to other deals. What's true?
  11. From what I have read the Swiss have a very complicated deal with the EU, a deal the EU said they wee never going to repeat. Pictures like the above is only more unicorn cakeism propaganda.
  12. Doubt it. SF run on an abstentionist policy, one of the reasons their voters vote for them. Also they well know what influence their few votes would have on the atmosphere in the HOC. It would be counter productive from their POV. Bit like how Hitler was never bumped off, he was doing too much damage to his own side.
  13. ? And some wonder why the Withdrawal Agreement is going so badly for the UK. A mystery for the ages.
  14. I've no problem with an EU army. Oh, and this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opt-outs_in_the_European_Union#Irish_protocol_on_the_Lisbon_Treaty
  15. Uhm, did you read what you posted at all?
  16. You've already tried that, Barnier didn't didnt go for it, then you tried to circumvent Barnier and were told by individual member states to..... wait for it..... go talk to Barnier. Why do I get the impression you've not been following brexit?
  17. He seems to be successfully living rent free in your head ?
  18. The EU is the most successful peace organisation there is, funny take you have leaving it then comparing it with war dead. It was formed to prevent Germany and France going to war. No one stopping you making your own decisions, no one stopped the referendum, no one is stopping the UK leaving at the end of March. Your thinking is bizarre.
  19. None of that is accurate Len.
  20. I believe Britain is about £500m a week worse off now, than before the referendum. Economies are complex animals. Neither the German auto makers nor the French champagne producers have cracked. Europe will be just fine. As for WTO and trade with the rest of the world, the UK has no established tariff schedules in the WTO - which must be agreed unanimously by all WTO members so the UK has a large and complex problem right there with official objections in already from several nations.
  21. f**k it, I'm convinced, I take it all back.
  22. The EU is like a club, members have benefits, third countries are outside of all of that and don't share the same benefits as full members. In essence this is what the UK has voted to become. No different than any other third country - before they agreed trade deal (which is entirely different from the Withdrawal Agreement the UK & EU are negotiating now). I've seen no comment from anyone that matters in power that the UK cannot leave the EU. Quite the contrary, that they see it as regrettable but they accept the decision. They have even said the UK can apply for membership again in t
