    Not that I care as I will not be voting but I think Labour are going to do a lot better than predicted as the younger generation are taking it more serious since many did not vote on Brexit.

    Labour may do better,  if people don't care and don't vote.

    I was talking to a friend on Sunday and he has a mate who is very high up in one of the well known and advertised gambling groups, according to him, the Tory's were 2/5 to win and Corbyn's gang were 20/1.  

    If this is how it goes, Ratface is going to be wiped out.

    Fingers crossed

    With the addition of a massive SNP collapse!

    That's what I'm hoping for, taking a day off to cast my vote because I didn't sort the postal vote.

    Cons with a tiny majority, then back to the same old same old.

    That's the worry or hung parliament.

    I can't help wondering if Boris and his team are making a mistake making 'get Brexit done' the key phrase of this election. I think any Brexit supporter who is going to vote Tory has already made up their mind to do so, and probably did some time ago. I know that people tend to focus on their own field (and mine is employment) yet I personally haven't seen any specific campaigning on how truly awful (with scrutiny) Labour's employment proposals are. 

    Just one example. Labour are banging on about the NHS and education. Both are heavily supported by 'bank' nurses and supply teachers, the majority of whom do this through choice (working mums and dads, semi-retired people etc.)

    You ban zero-hour contracts, what's going to happen? No agency is going to employ a teacher or a nurse and guarantee them hours unless they have a cast-iron contract with a school or a hospital, and even then, shifts don't appear out of thin air. That's just one example. 

    That's the worry,  May never questioned anything that Corbyn promised and her Election was a disaster. 

    I'd hoped for more bite and spite from Boris, tell us what your going to do but point out to the sheep how bad and unmanageable his promises are. 

    And I think your spot on with the zero hours contracts,  but it sounds good to students and voters who can't or won't get a better job, those who the contracts actually suit will be forgotten.

    Not content with the reporting of the BBC and looking at the more balanced private media he issues a warning to the BBC  to back off. 

    Looking at Johnson today with that picture of the boy on the floor of the hospital and you realise just how far removed from the reality of life for some he is.

    Anyone seriously doubt that the tories are now on the far right of politics? 

     

    This is the reality of Tory government.

    So if the picture is a fake, like Corbyn on the train what does it say about Labour? Doesn't seem like the reality of the Tory Government at all.

    Cracking dogs Nev, Diesel looks shredded, a very well built dog, I also like Vizslas.

    I`ve always been told don`t by a dog on appearance, base it on what you`d actually need out of the dog. So this leads me on to my next question, my main forms of shooting are a days in the pigeon hide, followed by rough shooting & the odd flight pond due the game & wildfowl seasons. In your experience would you believe a Vizsla be capable in all three forms ? 

    I've got a cracking book at home, I'll take a pic when I'm back.

    If they are that ill how did they manage to get here? Perhaps they are just feeling a bit peaky so they thought a quick trip to the UK sounds like the tonic?

    Sure don't stay in any of the other sunny countries you walked through, with more stringent conditions on housing and health care, come to sunny Britain where everyone is happy to see you. Might there be another reason?

    So based on such scant evidence it would be fair to say that you were in fact deluded in your decision to vote Brexit based upon such flawed and poorly sampled evidence? Even the evidence presented suggests a tax / costs neutral position for those from the EEA.  At best maybe your decision was based upon faith

    I don't think so, and neither did the other 17.4 million voters, there was plenty of good information put out during the run up to the vote.

  9. I was supposed to add, the areas with 50% of population with non uk born residents are obviously growing,  how much pressure does this add to the infrastructure? How many other areas are similar with pressure on schools, nhs transport, housing.

    This is why Brexit was such a big deal

  10. Nice to see this has rumbled on, I've just spent half an hour googling, struggling with bad internet and I'm not great at looking for this kind of info.

    So 4.4 billion added great👍 13.6 billion loss bad.

    Preston said 14 percent,  probably a lot at college but 50% in the above areas!!!

    This site has some good info, but I'm sure others can put up a similar one saying the opposite. 

    Like I said @oowee and @henry d will disagree. 

    Why do the immigrants travel across Europe and risk crossing the channel in dinghys? To get to the land of milk and honey.

  11. That's great going TT, cant believe no one asked if he still has all his fingers 😉

    I'm a  bit anal about putting my kids pictures out there, but kids do you want to paint my new squirrel feeder? YEAH,  they didn't do a great job but they had fun👍

  12. I watched a short clip of a rat getting shot last week,  I seem to watch quite a few, who doesn't like rats getting shot.

    The rat was shot with a 16 grain pellet from a crossman doing 8ft/lbs the fella said, close range dead, no movement no twitching or helicopter tail.

    I do find if one pops up and I'm loaded with an accupell I have to have soil behind it because I know the pellets will whizz through, I know the pellet can bounce off concrete. 

    That's why I use pest control when I know I'm ratting. 

    I watched another video and the guy was using a .177 shot a rat on a beam and you could clearly see the hole appear in the corrugated concrete behind it,  what was behind the concrete or asbestos I've no idea.

    head shot every species with exception of rats

    Absolutely,  crosshairs on the chest POP! I hit one in the garden last year, it was peeping  out so aiming for the head,  it pulled back ever so slightly as I shot, took out both eyes and needed a follow up shot.

    Thankfully we have thousands of migrants working in the service or otherwise there would not be one. 

    And those are the migrants we want, skilled hard working.

    1 hour ago, oowee said:

    No that is incorrect. Even if you accept that thousands of migrants have added to the bill they have also added to the tax take.

    If your saying that all immigrants have added to the tax take then you must be deluded, how many come here and go straight on benefits, free house the works? More strain on schools nhs basically everything. 

    That for me was probably the biggest thing that pushed the vote for Brexit,  things should be better hopefully afterwards,  they couldn't carry on as they were.
