My criteria is simple, nobody should be allowed into this country unless they are capable of supporting and housing themselves and their dependants without ANY state handouts. I don't care what they wear, what they eat or which God they pray to. Pay your way or on your way, I can't see that's in any way unreasonable, racist or Xenophobic. Its no more than most countries insist on now. Its simple economics. Very few immigrants today would meet that requirements When I got divorced five years ago I considered moving to Canada, probably not permanently, (as in forever), but I wanted resident status so I could come and go. Despite having huge amounts of divorce settlement money in the bank, a private pension etc. the Canadian Govt wanted me to lodge a $200, 000 (Canadian) bond with them before they would let me go there. I probably would have gone for it except that the terms of my residency would not allow me to own firearms and that would have negated a big part of why I wanted to go there. I respect them for their attitude He is still a joke, and now under investigation for 'iregularities'

My friend Joel is paying over £300 a month for his old Lab, it gone up to that after several illnesses. He can't change company but rather pragmatically says he's still in profit.

Yep! 100% Gordon. Nobody doubts it, you would think but then I listened to a radio phone in on LBC where people were saying weird stuff like we are just stitching the Russians etc etc. It takes me back to my student days in the 70s when every time I sat down in the College refectory somebody would sit beside you and start telling you that Russia was a wonderful peaceful country and sooooo very misunderstood. USA and UK were the real enemies and why don't I come to a meeting...…...

I used to build my tunnels from a chicken wire arch too small a mesh to let the birds through the sides and bait them with peanuts that I bought in a huge sack from bird food website. Used to get something in the traps most days sometimes a rat but mostly a squirrel. To me Fenn traps are devastatingly effective. I used to wash mine in soapy water and weather them outdoors for a few days after a kill. That's just rural folklore I was taught as a kid. don't know if its important just followed it blindly. Then lubricate them with beeswax on the moving surfaces and back out to work. In a good year we probably got 500 squirrels, you could sell the tails back then, and the bodies were given to a pet shop bloke who kept and sold pythons.

And Now John Lewis are Blaming Brexit for their Poor Profits
Vince Green replied to TIGHTCHOKE's topic in Off Topic
Carney has a role that is supposed to be beyond political influence. How hard should that be for him to understand? -
Its hard to get a balance, I see the use of Nationalism as a weapon used by some to get the mob cheering. That said, I am a Nationalist where Brexit is concerned. The Nazis taught Germans they were the Master Race, citing Darwin to 'prove' that thousands of tough northern European winters had bred a tougher and more resourceful people than the lazy peoples of southern Europe who just sat around eating olives. My mate lives in South Carolina, its like a film set from The Dukes of Hazzard. That's Trump country, the people are very pleasant and extremely polite but almost childlike in their understanding of good and bad. America are the good guys, we kill the bad guys. That's what they are told from before they can walk. Yet they freely watch a staple diet of films showing their government, police and the administration as corrupt.

As a regular traveller to the US and a former employee of an American company for most of my life I have always been more than slightly shocked at how ill informed Americans are by their own news organisations. I do actually now believe that is intentional. At one time I believed it was the overbearing effect of Provincial newspapers and TV stations only giving out local news but that belief doesn't hold water any more with modern technology. I can only now conclude that it is deliberately controlling pubic opinion. They will talk to about "I-ran" or "E-raq" but they don't even know where they are, much less do they know the history of the conflict or the ramifications. The reason is because they are not told, They don't have the equivalent of The Andrew Marr interviews or Panorama questioning what is be said to them.

The EU could be seen as a classic NWO project, it has all the hallmarks. Seeking to control everything etc, sapping the power and influence of the member states. Remember NWO is about a desire to create something that doesn't exist at the moment but globalisation is definitely moving us in that direction. Big question - why are they so keen on establishing a European Army? I can only think of one reason

I agree, we still buy high priced items from JL because their customer service is so much better. -

I still try to when I can but it gets harder. If you take Eastcote where I grew up, within walking distance there was everything that you could reasonably want, shoe shops, a car shop, mens wear shops, green grocer's butchers bakers, stationery and cards, sports and bike shop (that sold shotgun cartridges and air pellets) etc. Today you can find virtually none of these shops there. several coffee shops and lots of food outlets, pound shops and charity shops but you cant buy a pair of shoes or a shirt, nor can you buy a gallon of oil and a set of spark plugs for a ford cortina. Don't even ask about shotgun cartridges and air pellets! . The supermarkets and the big chains killed off the little shops and now they in turn have become too big to react to the fast moving pace of the internet. Its evolution. -
Howa .223 bullet choice
Vince Green replied to The Mighty Prawn's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
The cleaning regime sounds fine. I have seen rifles that are all over the place in the early days which just seem to settle down. 50yds is really too short to be doing groups, I would be much more interested in how they group at 100 or 200 yds If it likes American Eagle stick with it. Its cheap and its good for range use. horses for courses. How good do you need? 1.5" group for Munties is well good enough. Don't worry about HP v SP, at 223 velocity it makes no difference, Munties are solid little critters. I actually don't like these varmint ballistic tips, to my mind they over expand. That's just me -

That would be a valid argument, but nobody can say for sure. When Jacob Rees Mogg said it would be 50 years before anyone would know if Brexit was the right decision he was extensively misquoted by remainers, but he was right. Only with the hindsight of history can these things be truly assessed and measured, even then opinions will differ. Brexit will be controversial for hundreds of years. -
Its not a bad place at all, you could do a lot worse certainly. Its all about how it fits with your expectations. I like the area around Leeds rather than the town itself but Norfolk is very different. You have to go with the flow, life takes you where it wants to take you

Flying with spent cases in hold luggage

Goodnight, next time take the trouble to read the content of the post before trolling -
Most conspiracy theories are born out of people realising that the official version of events have been dubiously massaged to save face, or divert attention away from aspects they would rather not be revealed to the public. 9/11, JFK, the moon landings, Martin Luther King, David Kelly, WMD, etc all have big credibility gaps but one thing is sure, nobody is going to come clean and admit it

It could happen, it has happened before within my property owning years, in the 1980s about 2 million homes were in negative equity, everybody just sat it out and it the situation healed itself. for most people anyway. The big question is whether it has anything to do with Brexit or that just Carney stirring up problems? House prices are a bit of a bubble because once prices start to drop nobody wants to buy. Prices have been dropping slowly in South Wales for the past few years, it becomes a Dutch Auction. Hold off and wait for another price drop or make a silly offer. In America after the sub prime banking crisis some properties dropped by 75%! Many areas have never recovered fully, I know somebody who is trying to sell a villa in Florida (Paradise Palms near Orlando, prime tourist area) and has had it on the market for a couple of years. Dropped the price etc a couple of times but absolutely no interest. Yet all around Orlando they are building like mad In Detroit you can buy a house for $5 and that's probably overpriced Now you can't say that's due to Brexit can you? -

The risk is that the man or woman on the desk almost certainly doesn't know as much as you do and will take as much time as they need to check it out . I too travel regularly to the US and I wouldn't risk it. You will be allowed through eventually but could miss your flight. They don't mess about over there, its their way or no way. The International Ammunition Assn which holds its big convention and collectors fair SLICS in St Louis every year now advises international visitors not to try to take anything out of the US not even inert ammo or components -

The problem is not this end its the American restrictions on the export of anything that could be of use to a terrorist -

The trouble with the US ITAR regulations is that they are not that precisely worded. Any American official is likely to refer any doubt upstairs for a decision because they are like that. That could mean you missing your flight waiting for that decision and at the very least it would mean you getting a full search . They won't care their attitude is they were just doing their job. Don't ever under estimate American Officialdom. Personally I wouldn't do it, I don't think its illegal and the chances of getting caught out is pretty low but there is a risk -

Could I just ask a question, how have you been cleaning it? New barrels can really foul up with copper sometimes
