Agreed a nation of sheeple

I'm guessing that's down to our vat rate being much higher

I obviously can't comment on your indervidual employees but generally speaking there's an old saying that goes 'if you pay peanuts then you get monkey's'

I'd say there was a far bigger problem in this country with rubbish employers, the UK is becoming a minimum wage zero contact 'slave' nation Sooner we're out the better

If we stay in I hope that ukip will gain some serious traction and start gaing some seats. I'm not saying they'll come in and we'll live happily ever after but they can't do worse than lab or cons and something has to change in this country.

This sums it up for me, we don't live in a democracy, money is power and will continue to be for the foreseeable future I should imagine.

The whole system is rigged, and untill people use there general election vote to vote someone in other than labour/conservative government nothing will change, nothing surprises me when I hear dirty little tricks played by politicians.

Getting back on topic, the problem brexit faces I believe is mostly those to young to remember the UK before being part of Europe who will probably vote to stay in, couple that with the general lack of knowledge most of the UK has about politics and we'll end up with a better the devil you know vote to stay in.

Not meaning to be pedantic but when sxs and ou are in a gun slip you can't tell they're safe either. Sounds like snobbery to me, just ignore them.

Probably because he views it like me, a practice that causes unnecessary suffering to animals, something that most hunters will do all they can to avoid.

Different yes but similar in that struggling companies were proped up using public money, I beleive that industry like steel, energy, prisons, NHS etc should be government run as they are at the core of the UK, and if run by a private body leaves us open to many issues and problems, sometimes you get what you pay for and keeping money in the country can't be a bad thing.

They were quick enough to prop up the banks. I know planes are not made of steel but critical parts and weapons I assume would be and I can assure you war needs steel and alloys which I would guess ta ta make or could make if it were needed

This goes beyond cost of our steel vs china, its about being an independent country with the ability to produce our own steel, what happens if we end up at war in future and can't get steel for ships tanks and planes etc?

The death penalty should be bought back for people like this. They're not safe to walk the streets. The sentence they received is a joke.

+1

Couldn't agree more, I'm tired of living in a nanny state where our rights are being slowly taken from under our noses, I still can't believe they're halfway to banning airguns here in Scotland, thought it would happen eventually, just hoped I wouldn't live to see the day.

I won't shoot anything that doesn't require shooting whether it's pigeons or hares, that's just me though

I know how you feel in a moment of madness I sold a mint theoben SLR 98 with scope slip lamp and pellets for about £350, I miss that gun even though theoben must of had the worst customer service in the world

I didn't see anyone have a dig at blue badge holders, one of my family members is also a blue badge holder and has been for many years, the only post I could see reference blue badge holders appeared to have a dig at those who abuse the system, I've seen many myself.

I don't want to tar a whole area with the same brush but the area that I refer to has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe and the benefits system is regarded as a running joke there, I can assure you that the amount of people on the fiddle is not insignificant. I must add however that I do feel very sorry for the genuine cases and that they should be supported, it is almost impossible to do however, as the saying goes it's not what you know but what you can prove and that's the problem of separating the genuine from the cheats.

I know for a fact there's lots of Mickey takers, the area I'm originally from is full of them.

I know nothing about this new legislation however with the amount of Mickey takers they need to do something, I'm sick of paying for people who can't be bothered to go to work, although obviously do not want to see anyone genuine disadvantaged by it.

+1 the problem is there are people out there who care far more about the dogs appearance than there health. This is why I won't even watch crufts on TV anymore.

Of cause your quite right, badly worded on my part, is of course impossible to totally negate all risks, very unfortunate set of circumstances if all precautions were taken. And obviously reflects badly on the sport regardless of blame or not.

This is why I said as I don't have the full facts so I'm not going to climb my ivory tower, however I'm guessing the shooter was closer to the house than I would have been, or possibly not allowed for the possibility of ricochet, I could of course be wrong, but rather an unusual accident.
