panoma1 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 It seems the government are to kick a proposed ban on lead ammunition into the long grass, as they don't believe there is a significant threat to human health......according to the Independant! Great news....but typically the anti's are now showing what the proposed lead ban was really about by whinging and saying shooting should be banned anyway........because it's cruel! Glad the powers that be have not been conned by the terrorist wing of the Walt Disney method of animal welfare supporters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savhmr Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Turnips have feelings too you know. Baldrick says so... On a more serious note: Great news if the Independent story reflects the thinking of Government. Edited February 22, 2016 by Savhmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 The only fly in the ointment could be that the independant was quoting a DEFRA "source" let's hope he/she was an insider, strange quote regarding how things may well have been different if the election threw up a government of a different hue! This was very much in line with a conversation I had with an insider some months ago who felt the LAG were holding up their "report" until and on the assumption/hope that Labour would win the election! Politics eh? dirty business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greylag Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 This is good news, but we must remain on our guard as there are many out there who would just love to see lead banned.And with friends like Mr Swift who needs enemies.He should really hang his head in shame.
