It's often said that the British love the underdog, but to be more accurate - the British love people who really try, whether it's the footballer working hard on the wing or the roadsweeper clearing the gutter. There is an ongoing narrative that the migrants arrive here in order to live their lives on benefits, it might be true, might not. I haven't seen any evidence either way. I think we'd be in a better position to accept migrants if we had some sort of assessment of abilities and placement in either training or work. I can't think of a better way to find genuine asylum seekers than to see who is prepared to work in order to stay.

Really ? You're surprised that embarrassing protestors aren't getting covered in the media ? Hundreds of thousands of people march through our capital city and it hardly gets a mention, an American politician sneezes and it's on prime-time news.

It's interesting how people keep writing that so-called "Lefties" want migrants, when it's patently obvious that the working man doesn't want low-wage competition and business-owning employers do.

Not only would it stop the local problem of people drowning in the channel, word would quickly get back to source and stop the flow into France too. UK and France have very different ideas on how to prevent tragedies in the channel, UK wants to return migrants to France, France wants us to let them use the tunnel.

I love the composition of your work, you have a great eye for it. Thanks for posting.

The one in the middle is.

I like that idea.

That's the danger of speed-reading, 'Subsonic' is written so much more than 'Supersonic' that the brain spell-corrects it for us - we've all done it.

London - highest Cocaine use. Also centre for international banking. Coincidence ? Of course it is, we all know that drugs are taken by unemployed thieves, not corporate high-fliers on huge salaries and bonuses. Apparently 99.9% * of those rich bankers will soon be dole scrounging smackheads burgling our sheds and shooting up in the park. Or perhaps not. * Figures from KW Made-Up-Statistics Ltd 2015.

He did write 'supersonic 22'.

Hang a couple upside down on the front fence, it keeps the rest away.

You sure outsmarted him there ! I bet he feels silly now.

Did you see how many people march past with a grim look on their face ? Do these people know how to smile ? Can they not see the joy in life ? I've seen the same look on peoples faces before, in Bluewater, Kent, it's as if they are robots performing the shopping task and nothing can interrupt them. I smiled. Thanks for posting.

I remember Kent writing about how his HMR was not penetrating crows wings or bouncing off or something, but I can say that everything I have hit in the right place has died PDQ. That includes foxes.

I don't expect rimfire ammo to be as good as centrefire, but it seems strange that 22LR / 22WMR works extremely reliably but HMR doesn't. I assume the problems are caused by necking down the case. Having said that, I love my HMR, it is flat shooting and effective. People often repeat the common myth that "the little bullet gets blown around a lot" and claim that 22LR or 22WMR are better in the wind - it isn't true - the HMR is better than both in the wind and even holds more energy than the WMR at longer ranges, although in my hands none of them are really capable past 150yds. If you think of it as a flat shooting rimfire you won't be disappointed, if you swallow all the ( mainly American ) hype about it being a wonder-round suitable for hogs and 300yd gophers then you're in for a nasty surprise.
