Cons are still trying to neutralise the Brexit Party, the referendum happened because of this threat and the Cons leadership appear ready to take us out on no deal for the same reasons.
Explanation: There is a lot of support (polite way of saying votes) for Brexit. It really is that simple!

The real Swampy is actually there - there was a picture of him in yesterdays paper. Mind you he has short hair now - and looks a little more washed.

Some are using the peace process as a excuse for staying in the EU, some might use it as a excuse for violent protests etc if they do then they will have to be dealt with. A democratic decision has to be implemented, the government can not give in to violence or the threat of violence. PS I will not be getting the barricades up just yet.
That makes perfect sense - and from someone in the area. Thanks

Serious question.
Does anybody on this thread actually think that the UK being in the EU is responsible for the 'peace' on the island of Ireland?
There are some PW members from Northern Ireland (and very probably from Eire too). Perhaps they might like to comment as they are at the 'sharp end' in this?

I accept that we voted out, now we just need to agree on the details.
A process that has been badly hampered by 'rogue elements' Parliament seriously damaging our governments negotiating position ..... assisted by an official opposition who promised to 'respect the referendum result' and have done exactly the opposite - and now seem intent on campaigning for remain.
I expect an opposition to oppose the Government, but NOT to oppose a referendum (for which they also voted) result.

he is the PM of up to 160k tories, NOT the Countries choice
I'm no Johnson fan, but he is the leader (as chosen by the Tory party members) of the governing party - and since the whole country chose that party to govern, he is therefore the PM. Simple - and as usually happens. Party chooses it's leader, Country chooses which party (by electing MPs from a party) governs.
Johnson was voted for by 66% Tory party members. To put in in perspective, Corbyn had 59.5% of Labour votes when he was elected.
At the last election, the Tory vote was about 13.6M. So if we assume 66% of those Tory voters (as opposed to members) voted for him, about say 8M "voter votes" for him. More than any other party leader.
Current opinion polls show his as well out in front compared to any of the other options. Even in the Grauniad https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/06/poll-shows-conservative-party-15-points-ahead-of-labour

Locksmiths doing a home visit is pretty expensive. I'm also not sure that all 'openings' by a locksmith allow the safe to be used without further work to replace the locks (which may have to be drilled)? The problem with a temp is that the pressure is on to get them moved on ......... which is why ....

RFD's are no fools and will buy at the best price they can get them for ........ which won't be good for the widow/bereaved relatives. To be fair to RFDs, many old guns held in cabinets and considered of significant value by the family (as in they are old family items like "grandads gun") actually have a very low resale value.
Also I believe the family can't officially sell any items until probate is granted - which may be many months (there are currently very long delays in the probate system).
Therefore - if you do have a trusted friend/relative with the appropriate SGC who can take them into 'care', it may well be better solution. In most cases I know of, close family have house access/keys anyway - and the family/friend with the SGC only has the capability to open the cabinet (i.e. not the house) - meaning that for access to the cabinet, both the house access and the cabinet access designated people need to be present.

The deal is if I have any problems then my wife contacts him and he comes in and removes the guns.
It seems you have a sensible and pragmatic solution in place. I have two family members (younger generation) who are SGC holders and with whom I am in fairly regular contact so have arrangements in place that way. It is wise to have these arrangements in place 'just in case'.

I really would welcome a second vote
We have been round this 'loop' endless times; Cameron gave a vote to "settle the question once and for all time". It was promised "make no mistake, leave means leaving". Parliament passed the referendum, and the detailed question, and following the outcome - set a date for the process to be completed - 29th March 2019.
This still has to be implemented - due to the inability/unwillingness of Parliament to fulfil what they promised.
There is NO POINT in having any more referendums when Parliament clearly has no intention of carrying out the outcome of the last one.
The solution to the 'problem' is quite simply to carry out what was promised. We have a Prime Minister and cabinet/government who are apparently prepared to do so - and Parliament MUST support this.
If Parliament had not done it's absolute utmost to undermine the negotiating position of the government - we would possibly be in a much better position.

In the event of a bereavement, the authorities are more liable to help (i.e. take a common sense approach) rather than raise problems (which benefit no one).
Two possible solutions; a sealed letter with a party such as a solicitor that can be passed to an RFD, or another suitably authorised person (e.g. family member/friend with their own SGC.) For firearms the second is obviously not appropriate.

to be honest i think that any of the vertical tumbler ones are vulnerable to this kind of attack.
I don't disagree.
2 hours ago, quentyn said:The moral is not to use a keysafe with this arrangement of dials
Again, no disagreement from me. I imagine all relatively cheap ones are relatively vulnerable. I have seen similar you tube videos of various small safes being opened - apparently with ease. I have a police approved type, but still quite cheap (£30 ish), (not used for my gun keys) and I have seen a you tube of that type being manipulated, though was not able to duplicate it myself. I am reasonably dexterous, but couldn't duplicate the technique they used.
However you can get other types with very high grade locks (such as the Chubb Manifoil) which are not at all easily manipulated; the downside is that even as ex govt. stock, they are expensive (£100 upwards inc a small key box) and very expensive (several hundred) new.
-
Keysafes come in grades from cheap and simple like this type shown here (which do have very limited security), to full government approved types which are not easily manipulated. You get what you pay for.

Just by eye I couldn’t see any change on private ownership sections, didn’t read the RFD and museum sections etc
That was my feeling as well. Usually (in my time in industry anyway) government documents, standards, specifications etc. had to incorporate a list summarising changes when they were up-issued.

Do you know what the changes in this edition are (compared to previous guidance)?

When sleeved, this is marked as "sleeved" at reproof (which is obviously needed when sleeving)

I can see that the Tories want the 'no deal' fault to lie with the EU
The EU has two choices here;
- Accept the Boris deal, along with a 'hardish' border, pretty much everything else they had agreed to and a sweetener of £39 bn.
- No deal - with a fully hard border, nothing else agreed and no £39 bn (well at least not much of it).
It should be a 'common sense' to agree to the deal - which is hardly what the Tories would offer if they wanted the EU to be 'at fault' - but then 'common sense' doesn't work on people with no common sense (like the arrogant fool, Verhofstadt) and many of the EU 'seniors'.

That may be so in Parliament. In the more rural circles I inhabit the vast majority want it done - deal or no deal.
