In Upstate New York, for public safety, deer hunting is restricted to shotguns with slugs because they don't carry all that far when the idiot hunters miss which they do most of the time. They do slow down very quickly they are about as aerodynamic as a brick

I think we all know the answer to that one

The thing is if Labour gets in they will bankrupt the country, everybody knows that, but they can blame it all on Brexit - and they will! Brexit Blamers will be next big thing, its the perfect scapegoat for anything that ever goes badly in the future

Just a point of order from a few posts back, it was Gordon Brown who signed the Lisbon Treaty in 2007 that gave the EU political union and effectively signed away Parliament's right to rule us from that day. This was the treaty that Ireland famously refused to sign and were made to go away and vote again until they did. The legality of Gordon Brown's right to sign has always been questioned. Even at the time people were saying it wasn't legal, firstly because he was only a caretaker prime minister after Tony Blair resigned and secondly because he didn't put it before Parliament before he signed it. He didn't sign it at the same time as all the other leaders, he sneaked in the back door (literally) and signed it after all the TV cameras had gone. Now I ask you all, is that dodgy or what? There are people who will say, with some justification , that we don't need to leave the EU because we were never legally in it

This^^^^ As I have posted on here several times, I am perhaps the only member of this forum to actually have had personal contact with Corbyn. He was my MP for quite a few years and I have to say the man is bone idle. He doesn't like meeting or mixing with the people he is paid to represent. He has this rather distant, looking down his nose at you attitude. As an MP he might as well have been the invisible man, you never saw him out and about, visiting schools, OAP clubs, presenting prizes at sports days etc. In fact you never saw him full stop. My impression was he used his MP's salary to fund his own projects and never had any commitment or interest in the Parliamentary process. He appears to have opposed everything his own party was trying to promote. If you think about that rationally that's kind of creepy! I mean the "everything" part. You have to wonder. Is he just a rather two dimensional Mr Negative with nothing positive to offer except the 70s style Communist mantras he learned by rote as a student activist?

The number of young lads driving round now with no number plate on the front but instead have it laid flat on the dashboard. You used to see it occasionally but now its all the time. How do they get away with it?

Its easy to stand up and talk to the converted, his speech was full of holes, empty promises are very easy to make to idiots who want to believe them. Pie in the sky politics, but its worked before

I live in a very Jewish neighbourhood, there is a big Synagogue more or less at the end of the road and another half dozen within a three mile radius. I can't imagine many, if any, of my Jewish neighbours would have ever been typical labour voters. There lies the problem I think, they have not got, and haven't had for many years, the support of the Jewish community and for Corbyn and his cronies anyone who is not on their side is the enemy. Labour has for many years garnered support by patronising minorities and pretending to support them, not because they really cared, but just to get their votes. Its no coincidence that many Labour seats are in high immigrant constituencies. Clearly that hasn't worked in the case of the Jewish community who saw through them

That speech could have come from Arthur Scargill, nothing changes does it?

I don't believe they are anti semitic as such, I do think they are anti American and America supports Israel. Corbyn and his cronies instinctively align with anyone that the rest of us would consider persona non gratis. That is because they delude themselves by thinking they have deeper insight into situations than us mere mortals could ever have. A lot of left wing politics actually comes from people who believe they have a superior view of the world but when you break it down it just turns out to be our views reversed and criticised, because it makes them feel superior.to do so

So just form a limited company or a trust, or put the second house in the wife's name. The thing about labour is they are so stupid its actually embarrassing. But just to play Devils Advocate for a moment, how would that apply to rented out properties? Or if I didn't tell them, how would one Council know whether I had a second property in another part of the country?.

It is effectively partial Nationalisation by stealth. These Commies never change do they?

If you OWNED the company it wouldn't apply, because there wouldn't be shares and the company wouldn't have a board. This is where Labour is so stupid it makes your eyes water. They want so badly to stick it to the big employers but they don't realise all these companies can just evade the rules in so many ways. Mostly to the detriment of the work force

There is a shoplifting scam a friend of my son who worked for Sainsburys has told me about. They go round and buy a number of items, pay and get a receipt, then they go and put them in their car but keep hold of the receipt. Then go straight back in and pick up all the same items again and walk out without paying. He said it was usually alkies stealing booze

Kenyan runner beans? Costa Rica, pineapples? Dominican Republic, watermelons? or even Spain for that matter

First it will be one, then it will be two, then...…………...

1) These sort of figures, plucked from thin air are meaningless sound bites. Our family is not worse off, 2) Why would a successful lawyer want to go into politics? 3) Petrol prices, for example, have gone up but that's not due to Brexit, house prices are likely to drop, but that's not due to Brexit. Chelsea drew 0-0 with West Ham, but that's not due to Brexit.

If you put them down the end of our garden they will be gone in the morning. The foxes will take them

Its old style communism by stealth, anything that comes out of John McDonnell's mouth is communism. He is clever enough to dress it up a bit to make it look more acceptable but he is a hard line fundamentalist and still believes in the revolution.

probably died laughing!

things can get a bit complicated when you have multiple homes in different parts of the country but you have to point out, what I am doing is legal, its not my problem if the police in Wales don't like the Met and won't reply to your messages. That's your problem not mine.

THIS ^^^^ The first thing you have to realise is that rust killer never kills rust. You have to grind it out to clean shiny metal. If that makes a hole so be it I don't know why but Hammerite is nowhere as good as it used to be, something has been taken out, probably because it is toxic etc

Knowing that we can get nursing staff from abroad has meant that the NHS has stopped training its own nurses. At one time every hospital had its own nursing school and its own nurses home and trained its own nurses. Girls were paid to train as nurses, and they lived for free while they were training. It was a chance for girls from poor backgrounds to better themselves and thousands did ever year. Today if a person wants to go into nursing its through the degree route with student debt etc, plus the competition for the small number of places is very high. We need thousands of nurses but we only train a few hundred each year. It becomes a self fulfilling prophesy that we need to recruit from abroad. This is where immigration becomes insidious, what about all the British kids who will never be nurses, because they couldn't get a training place and are destined to work on a checkout instead? Or the boys who will never be carpenters, plumbers, or brickies because the Technical Colleges have all closed?

Comparitively few revolvers are made in .38 special, the manufacturers rightly recognise .357 is the more marketable option.

When I was a kid my uncle always used solids, I think that was because rifle clubs were a cheaper source of .22 ammo than shops.
