Salopian Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 May I ask who comes up with these loony tunes?? How about a Mirror Poll to see how many actually shoot game birds , rabbits or pigeons? How about a Mirror Poll to see how many Anti's actually have a job or contribute anything worthwhile to the community or do not receive benefit payments of some sort or another. I shoot a fair bit and normally receive a brace of birds at the end of the day. These birds are given (not sold) to local pensioners at the Alms houses which gives them at least a couple of good meals a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't even be bothered to post a link why should we be bothered to search it out so we can vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbiep Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 TheMirror run this poll every year. Every year the poll ends with the same answer. Like all good socialists, they will keep on asking the question until people give the 'right' answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 The Mirror is famous for its anti-shooting stance and largely influences, err, the anti-shooting campaigners, so best ignored and left to fester under the rock that the rag emerges from. They did another article a while back (July?) about the badger Cull in Gloucestershire, with public admissions by a few antis that they took part in aggravated trespass and illegally (& dangerously) obstructed the lawful activities of licensed cullers. That long permed hair mouthpiece for the antis was also pictured. I understand that there was no criminal charges brought against them despite a confession printed in a public newspaper of their illegal activities. I would have thought that due to the nature of their activities, it would be in the public interest to prosecute them, as they have been arrasted elsewhere for similar offences.

Scully Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I wouldn't get too worried about it; this poll seems to occur on a regular basis. Just vote the way you're inclined and forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 80% no to the ban at present. I find that rather amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just vote the way you're inclined and forget about it. I wasn't really worried, but hope a resounding No vote will disapoint a few antis.

norfolk dumpling Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Times today has a lovely picture of a young lad on a shoot, in tweeds, carrying a cock pheasant. Guns visible lined out in a valley in the background. No comments, no criticism, just a nice photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 There are many here been shooting a lot longer than me but I've seen this exact survey about a dozen times - the result always goes the same and there is no follow up until they publish it again next year. That said we can't afford to get apathetic as the antis will always vote so sadly so must we even though it matters little in the bigger scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
