No "Google-ing" !
Take your best guess and match each policy to either Conservative, Labour, LibDem, UKIP or Green.

2 - Introduce a legally-binding decarbonisation target.
3 - Require companies of over 250 employees to publish a gender pay gap.
4 - Equality for physical and mental health.
5 - Increase the overall NHS budget by £12 billion.
6 - Increase tax credits for working families in line with inflation.
7 - Scrap hospital parking charges.
8 - Extend free childcare from 15 to 25 hours for all 3 and 4 year-olds.
9 - Build a 500-bed military hospital.
10 - Introduce a transaction tax on all banks.
11 - Levy a 50p tax rate on earnings over £150,000.
12 - Write off tuition fee debt for students studying core subjects.
13 - Scrap tuition fees entirely.
14 - Exclude non-nationals from right-to-buy schemes.
15 - Link increases in the personal tax allowance to increases in the minimum wage.

Some lurcher owners are very ruthless sandy, like the best terriermen/coursing lads, the difference is they are proven in the field, not track.
I don’t know of any lucher owners who would be able to pick the best out of a hundred let alone one in a thousand.
As to track proven, well one must consider it in context, a greyhound that is bred from the best of the best that completes a racing career during which it must be able to withstand pressure through it joints that would snap the wrists of a lesser athlete. To my mind this athlete is worth a little closer scrutiny.
When cornering the bones/wrist joints sustain pressure of 500psi or 20,000 newtons per square cm, in simple terms the wrist and lower limb structures withstand up to 150kg of downward pressure when galloping around a corner.
A greyhound's heart weight ranges from 1.18 to 1.73% of body weight, or 270 grams to 519 grams for a 30kg greyhound, which is higher than an elite racehorse at 1.0-1.3% of its body weight. Other breeds of dogs have a heart weight equal to 0.77%, about half the size of a greyhound.
A fit greyhound has the highest blood volume of any athlete, relative to its body size, with blood contributing 11.4%, compared to 10.5% for a racehorse, 9.5% for a human sprint athlete and 7.2% for a normal pet dog.
Then there’s the muscles that convert this ability to power and speed, these constitute a greater percentage of the total body mass in greyhounds 57% in comparison to humans 40% and other dogs 44%. Of these in comparison to other breeds greyhounds have a proportionally greater pelvic limb muscle mass. Which allows a higher stride frequency and so faster pace.
Without these adaptions a greyhound running around a track at top speed would break its wrists whilst having a heart attack lol.
So when you add greyhound blood to a lurcher strain you don’t just add speed but you also get the physical attributes that back up that speed. The increased heart size and blood volume doesn’t come from beddies or collies and without it the lurcher cannot perform, a lurcher with a beddies heart will never be any good, it would be like putting a Morris minor engine in a Subaru and wondering why you can’t win a rally!
I think it can be said that if a track dog hasn’t got the physicality, ie heart, blood etc it will not be able to compete at the track. Second if it is to chase, what it knows is an artificial lure, for a number of years pushing itself right to the limit time after time it must also have the mental attitude/chase instinct honed to a great degree.
So greyhounds are proven by the track, the problem is the track isn’t a field and greyhound are bred for the track. Lurcher breeders need to tone down these attributes to get a slower animal, a less perfect running machine. But if one can get the Greyhounds heart size, blood volume etc into the body of a lurcher these diluted greyhounds have the physical potential to be really robust. A dog able to take the pressure that greyhounds joints can withstand, the strain on the heart that a greyhound can stand whilst having increased stamina and agility that comes with the reduction in speed are pretty much the basis of every lurcher. When you breed a collie or beddie greyhound ,from the second generation a fair proportion of pups will have the majority heart and blood volume etc of the non-greyhound ancestor and you can’t see this it can only be found through real work, I’ve already said how many really work their lurcher before breeding?? I’d say I have been out with a lot of lurcher men over the years, more than I’d care to remember and I can count on one hand those who realy worked their dogs. I’ve never bred a lurcher, mainly because I’ve never had one that was either good enough or worked hard enough to prove its worth.
a salukis heart is a third bigger than any other dog .its lungs are also a third bigger .its skeleton and joints etc are more akin to a cheetahs . a greyhound is with out doubt the most injury prone dog in existence ,bad feet. bad joints .very weak willed .as for stamina .it doesnt have any .
Genuine question but how can the saluki heart and lungs be so much bigger than other running dogs when their chest cavity is often similar size to a grey for example. I am not questioning their stamina just thought you might have the answer. On a separate note, comparing the saluki to a cheetah isn't really a link as the cheetah is mechanically one of the poorest animals on the planet for endurance and designed purely for speed just a thought. Biomechanically their must be significant difference in the skeleton or at least gait pattern of the two otherwise the saluki irrelevant of the size of heart and lungs etc would have no wind either and pace to burn neither of which seem the case in my experience (that's not to say they are slow just not pure speed merchants) atb
this is a pure bred saluki .theres not a greyhound in the country can do the same ,theres some very useful links on line as well about salukis genetic make up compared to a greyhounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhpVI-zFj20#t=59

So you would rather breed from a greyhound Sandy over a regular 5/5 coursing bred dog? You can talk all scientifically mate but you've no common sense lol
Edited to add ..either no sense or little experience of regular hard grafting lurchers ..not looking for an argument buddy I just find your ethics on this rather daft lol

agood lurcher brings more to the table than that, i have seen many a dog bend em.
spot on that .most if not all greyhounds these days will have derby winners etc in their pedigrees and every one of em will have enough speed to bend hareJust buy a proper bred pup, leave the 2nd rate free flappers alone.
Not all flapping dogs are second rate fella ......
im only making a comment on basic greyhounds my friend .ive trained greyhounds for syndicates etc in the past and kept and worked lurchers for nearly fifty years .ive been known to breed a few decent ones as well .i personally would give up dogs before id use a greyhound over a lurcher

Latest poll of polls has Tories on 34%, Labour 33%, UKIP 13%, Lid Dem's down on 9% and Greens at 5%.
"Others" (including SNP) 6%........
I'm still predicting wholesale leadership changes within 6 months of the result !
these polls are very misleading and false if the truth be known .they are E/U financed .a very recent independent poll carried out by a canadian television news group put ukip out in front.

no they shouldnt be allowed to get married nor adopt or foster children .a survey carried on pedos a few years ago in our prisons found that over ninety per cent of convicted pedos when questioned about their sexuality said they were gay .
And 100% of rapists are male...... we shouldn't mistake causation with correlation.
im not saying we should but one cannot argue with the facts ..god made adam and eve not adam and steve .and all this filth is being forced upon society by unscrupulous privately educated out of touch posh boys simply as a vote winner ..i personally do not want my children seeing this filth on publc display on a daily basis nor having it rammed down their throats by television on a daily basis ,the pathetic lefts are bending over backwards to accomodate every perversion possible weather its homosexuality .religious fanatics and we are being criminalised if we object .watch any kids program and its presented by nancy boys .kids aint got a chance these days when you think about it .

Its this wishy washy hippy " turn the other cheek " cobblers that got us into the trouble our societies are now in with immigration......30 years ago some of us were ranting and raving about it but others were saying " it doesnt effect me so who cares "......now those same people are demanding something be done !!
Why should we turn the other cheek and say " well im not bent so it doesnt effect me ".......you might not be an immigrant either but it still effects our societies we are all too quick to be tolerant and accepting of folk different from us....while all the time societies standards slip further and further away.
No poofs should not be allowed to get married dont be so ridiculous...........if thats what they are so be it get on with your life.....but we dont all have to play a part by giving our blessing to it.
well said gnash .

so are you taking the bet ? or are just going to post silly replys ?
A thousand pounds?? Should I book an holiday now then? Lol
name a time and place once contracts are signed and we meet up and deposit the money jointly .and on here in front of thl members chops il have a thousand pounds with you ty takes the fight .. dont throw insults pal about sacks of shit etc .
I'll happily have a bet with you two if Fury dare take the fight, I'm rubbing my hands together at the thought tbh...
Yeah and if you watch the fight again with Steve Cunningham he gets hit with another shot just like the one that knocked Him down later on in the match and he takes it absolutely fine, he just got caught when he was of balance, watch it again and you'll see, plus he was more concerned about pulling his shorts up than hurt from the punch and was back on solid legs and broke and knocked Cunningham out! If you are that confident he won't even take the fight I'll have a bet with you now any amount
Yeah you're right Wlad is a great puncher, one of the hardest hitting heavyweights of all time. Wlad will be shattering some glass that's for sure, let's not forget China chin was put flat on his ass by Steve Cunnigham, a feather fisted pumped up Cruiserweight. Wlad feasts on the bigger fighters, and Fury won't even take the fight mark my words...
yeah he some puncher that robotWlad would knock Fury out, his chin is packing glass that's for sure.
he throws a couple of jabs and hangs on rest of the round for dear life .rest assured hes never ever been in the fight tys going to bring to him ,and when hes made to fight the robots very vulnerable .hes not going to jump all over ty .hes going to be fighting every second and being roughed up inside and out side .if he wins he wins .but hes going to be made to fight like hes never before to do it .and tys very very capable of beating the robot .and beat him he will I'll definitely take the bet if Fury has the balls to get in with him.
what about the grand bet ive offered you that ty signs the contract to fight .as you initially said ty wont sign ? as for fighting and winning we will cover any bet you want no matter how much it is .cmon money talks .i can trade bollox on here all day with you .

Think the champs faces a lot of similar contenders Tyson will fetch something different too the table IMHO won't be an easy fight n there's a risk a young lad unorthodox lad cod fetch very best out in kiltsco they big strong men and any one peachy punch could well end the fight i would expect the much younger fury too chuck a lot of punches early doors try too bulldoze the champ n hurt him early if not knock him out longer it goes on harder it will become for him too win but I think he will do it and very fast maybe tko inside three rounds there's odd flashes now and again in fury that tell me there's more too come from him I think he far from at his peak yet still very young
richy tys coming right at the right time .hes maturing and improving every day .hes more heart than any other heavyweight on the planet .hes got great hands and his footwork is bang on now .the 40 yr old robot has conned the public for long enough fighting unknowns and forty yr old cruiserweights .hes getting beat and tysons beating him .youl always get the internet warriors spitting theyre dummy out cos the gypsy boys made good .we see whats what come fight time

he think he got hit with a scud missile when fury plants one on his chinA good chin will save a mediocre fighter for a few rounds its ability and skill,that wins without which it usually ends in a blood bath.

I wouldn't say Fury's got a glass chin, anybody can get knocked to the deck if the allow themselves to get caught on the button like he tends to do from time to time. Big difference between getting knocked down and knocked out by a punch to a sensitive area.
He's been down more times than a whores drawers, getting knocked down by plasterers and taxi drivers doesn't bode well for Fury IMO.
you be the man to have a decent bet with then pal
